Maintenance Your GP500 system requires no maintenance except for replacement of remote control batteries when they reach the end of their useful life. For further information on this, see the Automatic low battery warning and Remote control battery replacement sections on page 13. This product, like any electrical device on your motorcycle, requires that your motorcycle battery be in proper working order and fully charged.
Welcome to the world of high-technology C vehicle security and convenience ongratulations on the purchase of your GP500 motorcycle security/convenience system. Your remote controls The weather resistant pair of remote controls that are provided with GP500 are ultra-sophisticated miniature radio transmitters powered by a single miniature battery (a 3-volt lithium).
Remotely controlling your GP500 Each of your two remote controls can command several different functions. TO ARM: Press button I on the remote control. You will hear two chirps and the indicator lights will flash twice. The LED will flash repeatedly. TO DISARM: Press button I on the remote control. One chirp and one indicator light flash confirms disarming and the LED turns off.
TO ACTIVATE INSTANT AUTOARMING BYPASS: Press button III on the remote control and hold for three seconds. Two indicator light flashes confirm that GP500 will NOT AutoArm. If you press and hold button III for three seconds once more, the system will respond with one indicator light flash which means that AutoArming has been reactivated. The next time the motorcyle is parked, the GP500 system resumes normal AutoArming operations.

ACG-2™ (Anti-CodeGrabbing 2™) Clifford’s ACG-2 protects your motorcycle from thieves’ remote control “cloning” devices that are used to record the disarming code transmitted from your remote. Automatic remote control low-battery warning If your remote control battery is very low, you will hear five rapid chirps when you disarm rather than the single chirp that you normally hear.
Two-Point Internal Immobilisation Please be aware that the AutoArming feature has no effect on Immobilisation. The system automatically immobilizes your vehicle’s starter and ignition 30 seconds after engine shutdown or when you arm with the remote control. When you remotely disarm your GP500 system, the Immobilisation circuits will automatically disengage. You then have 30 seconds in which to start the engine (or turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position).
AutoArming™ If this feature is enabled and you forget to remotely arm. After 30 seconds pass, the system is automatically armed. In instances where you want to bypass AutoArming, such as when fueling the motorcycle, simply turn the ignition on and then off again after you have parked.
TO REMOTELY BYPASS BOTH ZONES: During the first 10 seconds after arming the system remotely, simultaneously press buttons II and III on the remote control and hold for three seconds. The system provides four indicator light flashes to indicate when the warning zone is bypassed, and another four indicator light flashes when both zones are bypassed. Fully Adjustable Dual-Level Piezo Sensor The Dual-Level Piezo Sensor detects vibration and impacts to the motorcycle.
TO REMOTELY ADJUST THE DUAL-ZONE PIEZO SENSOR: 10 With the ignition turned OFF. Press buttons II and III simultaneously for three seconds. The system will respond with one chirp. To adjust the warning level of the sensor, you must have the ignition turned ON, to adjust the trigger level of the sensor, turn the ignition OFF. Then: • Press button II to decrease sensitivity. A single chirp confirms each decrease in sensitivity. • Press button III to increase sensitivity.
TO REMOTELY BYPASS THE WARNING ZONE: During the first 10 seconds after arming the system remotely, press button III on the remote control. The system provides four indicator light flashes when the warning level is bypassed. TO REMOTELY BYPASS BOTH ZONES: During the first 10 seconds after arming the system remotely, press button III on the remote control and hold for three seconds.
False Alarm Prevention & FACT™ With Clifford’s patented FACT (False Alarm Control and Test) feature, you’ll never experience repeated false alarms. If the siren sounds, DO NOT remotely disarm the system; allow it to run for the full 30-second siren duration. Before sounding the siren a second time, the system automatically checks for another activated sensor or trigger. Should the siren sound again, you will know for sure that someone is tampering with your motorcycle.
How to interpret the LED status indicator LED Condition Off Meaning System is disarmed Flashing Steadily (Ignition off) System is armed Flashing rapidly (ignition off) AutoArming Countdown Flashing slowly (ignition on or off) System is disarmed but Immobilisation points are engaged (see page 15) Pause between slow Either a malfunction (see Smart AutoTesting below) or flashes (ignition on) an intrusion was attempted (see Smart prior intrusion attempt alert on page 27) Automatic Battery-Saving Mode
Smart AutoTesting™ Each time you remotely arm the system, it tests all triggers and sensors. For example, if the Helmet Theft Prevention System is active, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and 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.

Smart prior intrusion attempt alert If you hear three chirps when you remotely disarm, it means that a trigger or sensor was activated in your absence. When you turn on the ignition (or start the engine), the LED will flash 1-8 times, pause, then repeat the flash cycle 4 more times. Count the number of flashes in one cycle and refer to the chart on the previous page.
SmartPowerUp™ 2 If power to the system is ever removed, SmartPowerUp 2 ensures that your GP500 system automatically restores itself to its previous state when power is restored. So if a thief disconnects the power and then restores it in an attempt to start the motorcycle, the system will re-arm and instantly sound the siren while immobilising the motorcycle. If your motorcycle is to be serviced, just use the siren shutoff key to bypass the siren’s circuitry.
How to enter your PIN Code for the first time The PIN code provides two functions: to turn the alarm off in the event that you cannot use your remote control and secondly, to access programming mode. Your GP500 PIN code was set by the factory. You may want to change the PIN code using the instructions provided to insure the utmost vehicle security. EXAMPLE: To enter the factory preset Pin code of 2, you would press and release the PlainView 2 switch buttons thusly: ✱✱ marked, unmarked.
2. Within 5 seconds, press and release the PlainView 2 ✱ button 7 times. To help you count, you will hear a chirp each time you press the ✱ button. After 7 presses, wait for a single chirp, then immediately enter your new PIN code. Example: To enter 4301 as your new code, you would press the switch buttons in this manner: ✱✱✱✱ blank side, ✱✱✱ blank side, blank side, ✱ blank side. 3. Pause and wait for the 3-chirp confirmation. 4.
Step-by-step programming instructions 1. Refer to the Table of programmable features on page 32 and find the feature you wish to program. Make note of the number of times to press the ✱ button. 2. Turn the ignition on, or start the engine (skip this step if the engine is running). 3. Enter your PIN code, then press and hold the ✱ button of the PlainView 2 switch for about 3 seconds until you hear a siren chirp. Release the button. You are now in Program mode. 4.
