High- Output In sig nia Si ren
This Clifford-engineered siren is more rugged than generic sirens and has these features:
n User-selectable chirp volume: You can control the volume of the arm and disarm chirps. From the factory, your system issues Quiet Chirps. If
you prefer, you may select the full-volume LoudChirp acknowledgments. See User-selectable features.
n Remote siren silencing: If triggered by a non-threatening event, you can silence the siren without remotely disarming. Pres s button while
the siren is sounding. Two chirps confirm that the sensor activated the alarm and the system is remaining armed. Four chirps confirm that the
system is still armed, but that the ignition is on or the hood, trunk or a door is open and that th is may indeed be a genuine theft attempt.
n Automatic noise abatement: Alarm sounding is limited to five siren duration cycles even if a door is left open in the wake of an intrusion.
n Long-term chirp silencing: You may silence the arm and disarm chirps on a long-term basis until you decide to restore them. Yo ur vehicle’s
parking light flashes will continue to provide visual confirmation of remote controlled system armi ng and disarming. See User-selectable features.
n Selectable siren duration: You may change the factory set 30-second siren duration to 60 or 90 seconds via the programming pro cedure or via
the CliffNet Wizard software. See User-selectable features.
n Personalized Siren Sounds (requires the Self-Powered SmartSiren 4 option): The optional Self-Powered SmartSiren 4 sounds six
different alarm sounds. You may turn any of the six sounds on or off via User-selectable features programming to create a different combination of
sound patterns. So if you hear a siren at a distance, you will know for sure whether it is your car or someone else’s. See User-selectable features
(column 1, row 2). What’s more, with the optional Clif fNet Wiz ard software and Da ta Port Replica tor Cable, you may select up to six sounds from
more than a dozen different siren sound choices for truly unique customization.
n Choose when your Per son al ized Si ren Sounds play: You may choose to have your Per son al ized Si ren Sounds “play” every time the alarm is set
off, or you may set the system to sound them only upon trigger activation. When set to “trigger onl y” the basic siren wail will sound if a sensor is
activated, but the Personalized Siren Sounds will play if the hood, trunk or a door is opened. See User-selectable features (column 1, row 3).
Smart Au toTest ing™
Each time you remotely arm the system, it tests all triggers and sensors. If the hood or trunk is open, the system will immediately sound 4 chirps and 4
indicator light flashes instead of the usual 2 and 2. If a door is ajar, you’ll receive 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, 5 seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and 4
flashes. If a sensor is malfunctioning, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, 10 seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes.
NOTE: Since this is a warn ing in di ca tion, you will hear the 4 chirps even if you use the chirp mut ing fea ture.
n Specific malfunction identification: The system can also indicate the specific trigger or sensor that is malfunctioning. If you get the
4-chirp/4-flash signal upon arming, perform the following to identify the malfunctioning trigger or sensor:
1. Remotely disarm, then turn on the ignition. The LED status indicator inside your vehicle will be fl ashing, pause, then repeat.
2. Count the number of flashes in one cycle between pauses (for your convenience, the flash cycle repe ats a total of 5 times) and refer to the chart below:

Auto matic mal func tion by pass with AutoRe Moni tor ing™
The system automatically bypasses any faulty point and arms all other triggers and sensors for the utmost possible protection. If you accidentally arm with
the hood, trunk or a door open, just close it (no need to disarm-and-rearm) and the system will again monitor that point.
Smart prior in tru sion at tempt alert
If you hear three chirps when you disarm, it means that a trigger or sensor was activated in your absence. When you turn on the ignition, the LED will flash 1-8
times, pause, then repeat the flash cycle 4 more times. Count the flashes in one cycle and refer to the chart above.
Multiple- event To tal Re call™
The system’s memory records the identity of the last eight activated or malfunctioning triggers and sensors, which allows your installer to instantly track down
malfunctions. To identify the triggers and sensors held in the system’s memory, use the following p rocedure:
1. Remotely arm and disarm while pressing the blank button on the PlainView 2 switch.
2. The LED will flash 1-10 times to indicate the most recently activated point, pause, flash 1-10 time s for the second most recent point, and so on.
3. Write down the number of flashes between pauses and refer to the chart above.
With the optional CliffNet Wizard, you’ll see this chronological report right on screen.
