Smart Self- Powered Me dal lion Si ren with Digi tal Com Link

This siren has its own built-in back-up battery, so even if a thief cuts all the wires, the

siren will continue to wail. Furthermore, this unique Clifford-designed and manufactured

siren has all these important additional enhancements:

n Unbreachable Digital ComLink: Clifford’s ingenious Digital ComLink is a serial

communications link that ensures that — if the system fuse is pulled, or if power to the

system is interrupted, or if any siren wire is tampered with whilst the system is armed

— the siren will instantly activate for five minutes. However, if the system is disarmed

and power is interrupted for authorised servicing, the siren will remain silent. This

eliminates the need for a special separate shutoff key common to other battery-backed

sirens. This ingenious Clifford feature guards against any possibility of a thief tampering

with your system siren.

n Smart-charging: Other car alarm battery-backed sirens continually draw their

charging current from your vehicle’s battery. If the vehicle is left parked for several

days, this can drain the car’s battery. Clifford’s Smart Self-Powered Medallion Siren

only draws charging current whilst the vehicle’s ignition is on, i.e., whilst you’re

driving. This prevents battery drain.

n Automatic low battery warning: If at any time the Smart Self-Powered Medallion

Siren’s back-up battery voltage is very low, the usual arm and disarm chirps will be

muted automatically to alert you of the problem. Once the back-up battery is charged,

the chirps will automatically be restored.

n Remote siren silencing: If the system is triggered by a non-threatening event, you

can silence the siren without having to remotely disarm and then re-arm. Simply press

button on the remote control whilst the siren is sounding. You’ll hear two chirps

(the usual armed indication) to confirm the system has remained armed. If, however,

you press button 1 whilst the siren is sounding and either the vehicle’s ignition is on or

the bonnet, boot or a door is open, you will instead hear 4 chirps to indicate this may

indeed be a genuine theft attempt.

n User-selectable chirp volume: You can control the volume of your Concept 300

system’s arm and disarm chirps. As shipped from the factory, your Concept 300 system

issues QuietChirp™ acknowledgments. If you prefer, you may select the full-volume

LoudChirp™ acknowledgments. See the User-selectable features section on pages 18-19.

n Long-term chirp silencing: Whenever you wish, you may silence your Concept 300’s

arm and disarm chirps on a long-term basis until you later decide to restore them. Your

vehicle’s indicator light flashes will continue to provide visual confirmation of remote

controlled system arming and disarming. See User-selectable features on pages 18-19.

n Remote controlled chirp muting: Remote controlled chirp muting capabilities are

especially valuable when parking late at night in a quiet residential area or any other

time when you want to arm or disarm silently. To arm or disarm silently, just

simultaneously press buttons and ✱ on the remote control instead of the usual

arming/disarming button alone.

n Patented automatic noise abatement: Alarm sounding is limited to five 30-second

siren duration cycles even if a door is left open in the wake of an intrusion to ensure

against car battery drain or towing due to noise pollution ordinances. Your Concept

300 system then automatically resets and monitors all other inputs to provide the

utmost possible protection.
