Wel come to the world of
high- technology ve hi cle se cu rity and con ven ience
C
ongratulations on the purchase of your Concept 300, and thank you for choosing
Clifford Electronics World-Class Auto Security for your vehicle security needs!
Clifford has long been recognised as the world’s leading manufacturer of
high-technology vehicle security systems and accessories. Buying Clifford products has
always meant buying the best, and that commitment to technological innovation,
reliability and quality is clearly evident in the Thatcham-evaluated Concept 300.
Your Concept 300 is loaded with protective features and convenience benefits,
including our ACG 2™ (Anti-CodeGrabbing) that fights off thieves with
code-grabbers (a device similar to those that capture and “clone” cellular phones).
Clifford’s unique PlainView 2 Coded Valet Switch ensures that no thief can turn off
your Concept 300 like they can with other car alarms. The Smart Self-Powered
Medallion Siren with Digital ComLink will detect any theft-related wire tampering
and continue to sound even if the thief were to cut all the wires! Our new optional
CliffNet Wizard™ PC interface lets you test and set all the user-selectable features
on your computer screen. Our latest innovation, the optional Wireless FuelGuard
Module, makes theft by even the most skilled car thief virtually impossible since there
are no wires for the thief to trace! Plus there’s remote controlled valet mode, dual-point
immobilisation, an electronic interlock to prevent accidental activation of the optional
remote boot release, smart automatic locking/unlocking if you ever need to “panic”
the system, full-time programming access, and much, much more. Yet despite all the
sophistication, you will find that your Concept 300 is amazingly easy to use: never
more difficult than a few presses of a button.

Main te nance
Your Concept 300 requires no maintenance except for replacement of remote control
batteries when they reach the end of their useful life; see the Automatic low battery
warning and Remote control battery replacement sections on page 8. This product, like any
electrical device in your vehicle, requires that your vehicle battery be in proper working
order and fully charged. To ensure proper operation, periodically have your vehicle
battery “load-checked” at any local garage/mechanic and ask them to verify that the
charging system (alternator, etc.) is working properly. Also make sure the battery cables
and connections are tight and free from corrosion.
