Welcome to the world of high-technology vehicle security and convenience C ongratulations on the purchase of your Clifford Concept 50 remote controlled vehicle security and convenience system. Your Concept 50 is packed with protective features and lifestyle-enhancing convenience benefits, including Anti-CodeGrabbing with Random Code Encryption that fights off the latest and most onerous threat from high-tech thieves.
How to use your keychain remote control Your remote control can command 12 different functions and options. The LevelShift button on the side of the remote control allows you to select channels 5–12: To transmit either channel 1, 2, 3 or 4: Just press either button 1, 2, 3 or 4. For instance, to transmit channel 3, press button 3. While you transmit, the LED indicator will flash once every second: this indicates level 1. To transmit either channel 5, 6, 7 or 8: Press the LevelShift button once.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM . . . . . . . Press button 1/channel 1 once. You will hear two chirps and the indicator lights will flash twice. The system LED will flash repeatedly and the vehicle’s doors will automatically lock. TO DISARM THE SYSTEM . . . . . . . Press button 1/channel 1 again. One chirp and one indicator light flash confirms disarming. The doors will automatically unlock and the interior lights will turn on and stay on for 30 seconds or until you start the engine, whichever occurs first.
AntiScan Thieves can disarm some other brands of car alarms with a “scanner” that rapidly transmits one remote control code after another until it hits on the one that disarms the alarm. Clifford’s AntiScan detects any scanner and blocks the codes it generates. Anti-CodeGrabbing (ACG) with Random Code Encryption ACG protects you and your automobile from the most effective and onerous car stealing device ever used by car thieves — a code-grabber.
UltraSecure Coded Valet Mode Your secret valet code In seconds, thieves can disable all other alarm brands by hotwiring the ignition and flicking an easy to find “hidden” valet switch. Your system has safeguards that absolutely ensure a thief cannot enable the valet mode as a way of “turning off” your system. How? To enable valet mode, the driver must first enter a secret valet code on the PlainView switch. Your code will be a 1-to-3-digit number of your choosing.
To exit valet mode 1. Turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position or start the engine. 2. Flick the switch back to its centre position. The LED will turn off to confirm that the system is now in its normal operating mode. Setting your own secret valet code Since all Concept 50 systems have the same factory-set code, it is highly advisable that you set your own valet code. You may choose any 1-, 2-, or 3-digit code that does not have any zeros. You can also change the code whenever you want. 1.
Failsafe MultiPoint AutoImmobilisation Concept 50 has a multipoint AutoImmobiliser that, when active, will immobilise your vehicle by electronically interrupting the ignition, starter and fuel pump. AutoImmobilisation occurs 30 seconds after you turn off the ignition. It will also occur 30 seconds after disarming the system. AutoImmobilisation is completely independent of the alarm’s AutoArming feature.
How to interpret the chirps and indicator light flashes When you use the remote control, the system responds with chirps (unless the chirp muting feature is turned on) and indicator light flashes: Chirps and flashes Meaning 1 Your Concept 50 system is disarmed 2 Your Concept 50 system is armed 2 and then 4 Armed but one of the sensors is malfunctioning (see Smart AutoTesting on page 13) 3 Disarmed and there was an intrusion attempt (see Smart prior intrusion attempt on page 14) 4 Armed but the bo
Smart prior intrusion attempt alert If you hear three chirps (instead of the usual one chirp) upon disarming, it means the system sounded in your absence. When you enter the vehicle and turn on the ignition (or start the engine), the LED will flash several times, pause, then repeat the flash cycle 4 more times. Count the number of flashes in one cycle and refer to the chart on page 13.
TotalRecall The system’s memory records the identity of the last activated or malfunctioning trigger or sensor. To identify the trigger and/or sensor held in the system’s memory: 1. With the ignition OFF, flick the PlainView switch to its latched side. 2. Press button 1/channel 1 to “arm” the system, then again to “disarm.” 3. The LED will flash 1–5 times, pause, then repeat the flash cycle 4 times. 4.
UltraSecure Coded Programming Mode Your Concept 50 vehicle security system allows you to set many of its features to your own personal preferences. We have made the programming procedures very simple: to make a change, you just press the PlainView switch a few times. The system comes from the factory with all of its features pre-programmed as noted in the table that follows. To change any of the settings, use the procedure noted. To restore the feature to its factory setting, just repeat the procedure.
Example To change the Lock upon AutoArming feature from its factory setting of off to on, you would do the following: Turn the ignition key to the ON position. Enter your programming code, then immediately tap and release the momentary side of the PlainView switch 4 times (you will hear a single chirp upon the 4th press). Wait 3 seconds. The system will sound one more chirp to confirm that the Lock upon AutoArming setting has been changed. Turn the ignition off.
