In order to maximize the use of this system, please review this owner's guide carefully prior to using your system. You can print additional or replacement copies of this owner’s guide by accessing the Clifford web- site at www.clifford.com.
system maintenance The system requires no specific maintenance. Your transmitter is pow- ered by a pair of miniature 3V lithium batteries (CR2016) that will last approximately one year under normal use. When the battery weakens, operating range will be reduced and the system will provide a low bat- tery warning chirps indication when disarming.
replacement remote controls You can purchase replacement remote controls from your Authorized Dealer or on-line at the following web site: www.directedstore.com Once you receive your new remote control, please refer to instructions included on the remote packaging.
transmitter functions This system uses computer-based code learning to learn the transmit- ter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any transmitter button to any system function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with standard configuration, but may also be customized using the CliffNet Wizard PC program.
using your system The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond to the standard transmitter configuration. If your transmitter has been custom configured, the icons on your transmitter buttons may not correspond to the indicated functions. arming You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your trans- mitter for one second.
not chirp. The early chirps provide you with a 25-second warning prior to arming. n n o o t t e e : : If any protected entry point (a door or a switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm. Additionally, each time a protected entry is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
disarming without a transmitter This feature allows you to disarm the system without the transmitter should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order to disarm without a transmitter, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key, know where the PlainView 2 Valet switch is located, and have the PIN code. Be sure to check with the installer for the location of the PlainView 2 Valet switch and instructions for entering the PIN code.
transmitter sensor disable To temporarily disable a sensor input, arm the system, press the simultaneously. The lights will flash four times and all warn away trigger zones three and eight are bypassed. Press the buttons again; the lights flash four times and both warn away and full trigger zones three and eight are bypassed until the system is disarmed.
: : Intellistart and SmartWindows are optional Clifford accessories. Ask your dealer for more details. auxiliary channel bypass Alarm sensor input zones three and eight will be bypassed while a pulsed or timed auxiliary Output is active.
To enter Valet Mode: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Enter PIN code (factory setting is 2). After the last digit continue to hold three seconds. The LED status indicator will light steadily if you are entering Valet Mode and will turn off if you are exiting Valet Mode. To exit Valet Mode: 1.
status indicator will light solid if you are entering Valet Mode, or will turn off if you are exiting Valet Mode. battery saver mode After 48 hours in the armed state, the LED will decrease the flash rate to the normal rate; after 96 hours it will decrease to low battery warning When the transmitter battery is low, the system will generate five quick chirps when disarmed.
multiple event total recall This will report the last eight system triggers. Press and hold While still holding release the button. The LED will start to blink to indicate the most recent trigger and proceed down to the eighth trigger. If fewer than eight triggers are stored in memory, the LED will blink continuous- ly until the system is armed/disarmed using the transmitter after recalling the final trigger.
Since this will only occur while the system is armed, there is no need for a siren override key. Unlike other back-up battery sirens that constantly drain the car battery, Clifford’s design draws charging current only when the ignition is on (i.e., engine running). If the internal battery is discharged, the arm/disarm chirps are muted.
Press on the PlainView 2 Valet switch while playing the desired sound to add that sound; press while playing the desired sound to delete that sound. diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors that are connected to it. It detects any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from dis- abling the entire system.
disarming diagnostics Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert. If three chirps are heard when disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If three chirps are heard, the LED status indicator will indicate which zone was involved (see the Table of Zones section). The system will retain this information in its memory.
Zone - Number of LED Flashes anti-code grabbing (ACG) This unit features Anti-Code Grabbing (ACG) with Random Code Encryption. This means the receiver and transmitters each use a math- ematical formula called an algorithm to change their code each time the transmitter is used.
smart power up II This security system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. If power is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in Valet Mode and the bat- tery is disconnected for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit will still be in Valet Mode.
programming options Programming options control what your system does during normal operation, and require few or no additional parts. However, some may require additional installation labor. Following is a list of the program settings, with the factory settings in bold: Active arming (only with the transmitter) or passive arming (automatic arming 30-seconds after the last door is closed).
False Alarm Control Technology (FACT refer to the FACT explanation of how FACT grammed off, the security system will respond to inputs from any sensor indefinitely. n n o o t t e e : : Because many states have laws regulating security systems, pro- gramming FACT II off may cause your system to violate state laws.

On: When the system sees the ignition turn off and the last protected entry (door, hood, or trunk) close, it will begin a 30-second countdown before arming itself. After the first five seconds, you will hear two chirps and the lights will flash.
passive lock - on/off On: The doors will lock when the system passively arms. This feature only applies when passive arming is programmed on. Off: The doors will not lock when the system passively arms. siren duration - 30/60/90 The system will sound the alarm for the programmed dura- tion (30/60/90 seconds) during an alarm trigger or when the system is put into panic mode.
