Alarm despiking

[Ish]

Hi

I'm despiking my alarm as per instructions here http://old.datatool.co.uk/pdfs/system3_ds.pdf but do I really need to leave it disconnected for 6 hours?

Can't really help, but as I've got a datatool myself, what does despiking mean?

My battery went totally flat. When I charged the battery up and put it back on the bike the alarm wasn't responding at all. Even the led isn't flashing.

I've followed the despiking instructions and when I did step 2 the alarm did sound for a bit so I'm hopeful this will work.
