Neil,

I have the Veto Evo alarm so I hope the following may help.

You don't have to turn on the ignition to work on the bike without the Veto 
alarm going off.

You have two options:

1. Put the bike in ferry mode.

Arm the alarm then press the 'triangle' button to disarm the movement 
sensor. This leaves the bike alarmed but it can be moved without a 
reaction, the beep also stops. Remember to disarm it prior to turning on 
the ignition or a full alarm reaction will occur.

2. Put the bike in service mode.

Turn on the ignition and press and hold the 'circle' button. a long beep is 
then heard and the alarm is totally disabled. Turn off the ignition. Disarm 
as normal. (not too sure on this, but I could check in the manual if you 
need it)

Hope this helps avoid more flat batteries.
