Wel come to the world of
high- technology ve hi cle se cu rity and con ven ience
ongratulations on the purchase of your Concept 300, and thank you for choosing
Clifford Electronics World-Class Auto Security for your vehicle security needs!
C
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.
NOTE: Your sys tem MUST be in stalled by an Author ised Clif ford Dealer in
ac cor dance with the in struc tions we sup ply them. The sys tem is in tended for
auto mo biles with a 12- volt bat tery and petrol- or diesel- powered en gines.
NOTE: The In stal la tion Cer tifi cate docu ment must be com pleted by your
in staller at the Author ised Clif ford Dealer. Other than the re mote con trols,
this sys tem has no user- serviceable parts. Your Author ised Clif ford Dealer
can cor rect any sys tem wir ing prob lems and, if ever needed, can re turn any
mal func tion ing com po nent to Clif ford Elec tron ics for re pair/re place ment
un der the terms printed on the sup plied war ranty card. Any al tera tions or
ad di tions would auto mati cally in vali date the war ranty, an ti theft guar an tee
(if ap pli ca ble) and in vali date the In stal la tion Cer tifi cate.
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.
4
Your re mote con trols
The 4-button remote controls of your Concept 300 are ultra-sophisticated miniature
radio transmitters each powered by a tiny 3-volt lithium battery. A weak remote control
battery will reduce range (the system will warn you if the battery in your remote is
nearing the end of its useful life, see Automatic remote control low battery warning on page
8 for details). Electrical/radio frequency interference, buildings and other obstructions,
weather conditions and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your remote to the
system. If this happens, repeatedly press the remote control button several times until
the system responds (this works better than holding the button down). The remote
controls are the keys to your system. But these remotes are much more secure than car
keys because each incorporates Clifford’s ACG 2™ (Anti-CodeGrabbing 2™) technology
with trillions of digital codes for the ultimate protection. You will use your Concept 300
remote control to arm and disarm the system, lock and unlock the doors,
activate/deactivate the panic feature, enable/exit valet mode and command options such
as a remote boot release, timed headlight activation, automatic closure of the power
windows, electric garage door interface and even remote starting of the engine and
heater or air conditioner, among other options.
TIP: If you press the top of the remote to your chin, you can increase the range
since your body acts as a large radio antenna (this is the same principle as a
station coming in more clearly when you touch the TV or radio antenna).
How to use your re mote con trols
Each of your two remote controls can command several different functions and options.
TO ARM, PRESS:
TO DIS ARM,
AGAIN PRESS:
TO AC TI VATE
THE PANIC
FEA TURE, PRESS
AND HOLD:
TO RE MOTELY OPEN
THE BOOT, PRESS:
You will hear two chirps and the indicator lights will flash twice.
The dashboard LED will flash repeatedly and your vehicle’s power
locks will automatically lock.
One chirp and one indicator light flash confirms disarming. In
addition, the power locks will automatically unlock, the LED will
turn off and the interior lights will turn on and stay on for 30
seconds or until you start the engine, whichever occurs first.
Hold the button 3 seconds. The indicator lights will flash
repeatedly and the siren will blare until you press the button
again to turn it off. If the ignition is on (indicating you are in the
car), the doors will automatically lock to prevent an assailant from
entering (note: some vehicles are unable to lock the doors whilst
the ignition is on). If the ignition is off, the doors will unlock,
allowing you to enter immediately without fumbling with your keys.
If you have the remote boot release option, pressing the
button whilst the system is disarmed will release the boot latch (see
Smart boot release option on page 9 for more information). If you do
not have the boot release option, you may assign this button to
activate one of the other functions noted in column 4 of the Ta ble
of User- Selectable Fea tures on page 19, or it can be programmed
into a Clifford ACG 2 electric garage door/entry gate opener
interface or a Concept 100, 300, 400 or 600 on your other car.
5
TO AC TI VATE THE
TIMED HEAD LIGHTS,
PRESS:
If you have the remote timed headlight activation option, pressing
the button will turn on the headlights for any duration you
wish between one second and 4 minutes (the factory setting is 10
seconds; see User-selectable features on pages 18-19). If you do not
have this option, you may assign this button to activate one of the
other functions noted in column 4 of the Ta ble of User- Selectable
Fea tures on page 19, or it can be programmed into a Clifford ACG
2 electric garage door/entry gate opener interface or a Concept
100, 300, 400 or 600 on your other vehicle.
TO RE MOTELY START
THE ENGINE, PRESS:
✱
TO ARM OR DIS ARM
SI LENTLY, PRESS:
AND ✱
TO RE MOTELY
EN ABLE OR EXIT
VALET MODE, PRESS:
AND ✱
TO RE MOTELY
VENT OR OPEN THE
WIN DOWS, PRESS:
AND
The ✱ button is factory-set to activate the IntelliStart 4* remote
engine starting accessory. If you do not have this option, you may
assign this button to activate one of the other functions noted in
column 4 of the Ta ble of User- Selectable Fea tures on page 19, or it
can be programmed into a Clifford ACG 2 electric garage
door/entry gate opener interface or a Concept 100, 300, 400 or
600 on your other vehicle.
By simultaneously pressing both the button and the ✱
button, you can arm or disarm with all the indications previously
noted except the chirp acknowledgments. Silent arming and
disarming is handy when parking late at night in a quiet
residential area.
By simultaneously pressing both the button and the ✱
button, you can enable or exit your Concept 300’s valet mode (see
page 11 for details on valet mode). Two indicator light flashes
confirm remote enabled valet mode entry, a single flash confirms
valet mode exit. If you prefer, you may turn off remote controlled
valet mode as noted in the User-selectable features section on pages
18-19 so that the system cannot be placed in valet mode via the
remote control.
If you have the SmartWindows 4 option, simultaneously pressing
both the and button will fully open the power windows
if the system is disarmed. If the system is in its armed state when
you press this button combination, SmartWindows 4 will vent the
windows slightly for ventilation on hot days. Please note that a
SmartWindows 4 module will control two power windows,
additional modules may be added to control additional windows.
SmartWindows 4 is not compatible with some vehicles.
TO OVER RIDE THE
PROX IM ITY
SEN SOR, PRESS:
AND
Pressing buttons and within 10 seconds of arming will
override your Concept 300 system’s Proximity Sensor III.
Confirmation of this remote controlled sensor override is
acknowledged with 4 flashes of the indicator lights (see Re mote
con trolled over ride of the Prox im ity Sen sor III on page 13).

ACG 2™ (Anti- CodeGrabbing 2™)
ACG 2 protects you and your automobile from the most effective and onerous car
stealing device ever used by car thieves — a code-grabber. Code-grabbers literally record,
from hundreds of feet away, the code sent by your car alarm remote control
(code-grabbers are very similar to, but simpler than, cellphone “cloning” devices). The
thief then simply plays back the code when you’re gone, instantly disarming the alarm
and unlocking the doors. It’s like leaving your keys and remote on the bonnet.
Many alarms can be defeated that easily, and some of the latest “smart” code-grabbers
can even decipher the code hopping/jumping sequence used by other car alarm
manufacturers.
In contrast, Clifford Concept Series systems use complex digital signal processing and
unbreachable code encryption to randomly change the digital code every time you use
the remote control. Your remotes will never transmit the same code twice, and the
control unit will never accept the same code twice.
Thus the code recorded and played back by the thief’s code-grabber — even the latest
generation smart code-grabbers — will never be accepted by your Concept 300 system.
