Using Your Bullet Security System
Premier™ 4-Button/8-Channel Remote Controls
The Premier 4-button/8-channel remote control is a miniature radio transmitter with a range of up to 100 feet. Obstructions, interference or a weak battery will reduce the range. Your remote control is the key to your security system. You will use it to arm or disarm the system, lock or unlock the doors, activate its panic feature or control options such as a remote trunk release or IntelliStart™ remote engine starter. With the red switch in the UP position, buttons I-IV transmit channels 1-4; in the DOWN position, they transmit channels 5-8. These additional channels can be used to control Clifford systems and accessories on your other vehicle(s).
TO ARM
THE SYSTEM. . . . . .
Press button I once. You will hear two chirps and the parking lights will flash twice. The dashboard LED will flash repeat­edly and the car doors will automatically lock. Any attempt to break into the vehicle will immediately disable the starter, sound the six-sound siren and flash the parking lights.
TO DISARM
THE SYSTEM. . . . . .
Press button I again. One chirp and one flash of the parking lights will confirm disarming. In addition, the car doors will automatically unlock and the interior lights will turn on and stay on for 30 seconds or until you start the engine.

How to Interpret the Chirps and Parking Light Flashes
When you press the remote control buttons, the system will respond with chirps (unless you have the chirp muting feature turned on) and flashes the parking lights to indicate the system status. The meaning of these chirp/flash acknowledgments is as follows:
Chirps and flashes Meaning
1 2
2 and then 4
3 4
Armed and there is a sensor malfunction (see Smart AutoTesting)
Alarm is disarmed and there was an intrusion attempt (see Smart Prior Intrusion Attempt)
Armed and there is a trigger malfunction (see Smart AutoTesting)
Alarm is disarmed
Alarm is armed
How to Interpret the LED Status Indicator
The LED on your car’s dashboard or console will inform you of the system status:
LED Condition Meaning
Off On
Flashing
Pause between flashes
Either a malfunction or an intrusion was attempted
System is disarmed
Secured valet mode

Headlight Reminder
If you turn the ignition off and open your door without having turned off the headlights, you will be reminded to turn them off with warning, you will hear the chirps even if you have the chirp muting feature turned on.) If you prefer, you may turn off the Headlight Reminder feature. See the
User-Selectable Features
section on pages 9-10.

Secured Valet Mode
Whenever the alarm is put in secured valet mode, all of the alarm functions are bypassed since it prevents AutoArming and accidental activation of the alarm. You should use the valet mode whenever your car is either to be serviced by mechanics, handed over to car wash personnel or driven by valet attendants. It also comes in handy if you ever lose your remote control or its battery dies. If you have the AutoArming feature set on, when fueling your car, either put the alarm in valet mode or leave the driver’s door open (the system will not AutoArm if a door is open). Be sure to ask your installer to show you where the valet switch is located.
To turn ON the valet mode:
1. Insert your ignition key and turn it to the “ON” position, or start the engine.
2. Flip the valet switch.
3. The LED will glow continuously to indicate that the alarm is in valet mode.
To turn OFF the valet mode:
1. Insert your ignition key and turn it to the “ON” position, or start the engine.
2. Flip the valet switch.
3. The LED will turn off to indicate that the alarm is in normal operating mode.
Keyless Entry in Valet Mode: Even if valet mode “on”, you will still be able
to remotely control all the convenience features. For instance, simply press but­ton I as if you were arming or disarming and your car’s doors will lock or un­lock. You can also use buttons II and IV to activate other options.
Enhanced AutoArming™
If you forget to remotely arm the system, it will arm itself automatically (“passively”) 30 seconds after the vehicle doors are closed. If you re-open any door(s) within the 30-second countdown, AutoArming will restart from the beginning once all doors are closed. This ensures you’ll never accidentally leave your vehicle unprotected. Bullet includes all these Enhanced AutoArming features:
AutoArming Enable/Disable: If you prefer, you may deactivate or reactivate
AutoArming. To do, see
Visual Acknowledgment: Five seconds after you exit the vehicle and close
all the doors, the parking lights will flash twice to confirm that the AutoArming countdown is progressing. Then, 25 seconds later, the system will AutoArm.
AutoArm & Lock: To ensure you can’t accidentally lock your keys inside the
car, the system is factory-set not to lock the doors upon AutoArming. To change this setting, see User-Selectable Features on pages 9-10.
NOTE: To prevent AutoArming of the system when fueling the vehicle, either
enable valet mode or leave one of the doors open (the system AutoArms 30 seconds after all doors are closed).
User-Selectable Features
on pages 9-10.

Smart AutoTesting™
Each time you remotely arm your vehicle, it will perform a series of tests on all triggers and sensors. If a
trigger
malfunction is found, you will be visually and
audibly alerted immediately with 4 chirps and flashes instead of the usual 2. If a
sensor
is malfunctioning, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and flashes, then,
few seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and flashes.
Specific Malfunction Identification: The system not only tells you if the prob-
lem is a trigger or sensor, but it can also indicate the specific trigger or sensor that is malfunctioning. This feature saves you time and money since your in­staller won’t have to spend hours trying to determine where the problem is. Here’s how it works:
1. You receive the 4-chirp/4-flash signal upon remote disarming.
2. The LED indicator inside the vehicle will be flashing, pause, then repeat.
3. Count the number of blinks in one cycle between pauses (for your conven­ience, the blink cycle repeats 5 times) and refer to the chart below:
Number of LED blinks between pauses Malfunction
1 blink 2 blinks 3 blinks
Vibration/impact sensor or optional sensor
Door trigger
Trunk or hood trigger
Automatic Malfunction Bypass
To provide the utmost protection even if a system component malfunctions, the system will automatically bypass the faulty point and arm all other triggers and sensors until you can have the system serviced by your local Authorized Dealer.
a
TotalRecall™
The system’s non-volatile memory records the identity of the last activated or malfunctioning trigger or sensor, which allows your installer to instantly track down a malfunction and save you servicing costs. To identify the trigger or sensor held in the system’s non-volatile memory, simply perform the following procedure:
1. With the ignition OFF, flick the valet switch to one side.
2. Press button I to “arm” the system, then again to “disarm.”
3. The LED will blink several times, pause, then repeat the blink cycle 4 times.
4. Count the number of blinks in one cycle and refer to the chart that follows:
Number of LED blinks per cycle Trigger/Sensor that Last Activated or Malfunctioned
1 blink 2 blinks 3 blinks
Magnetic Resonance Sensor
Door trigger
Trunk or hood trigger

FACT™— False Alarm Control and Test
With FACT, you’ll never experience repeated false alarms. If your six-sound siren goes off, DO NOT remotely disarm the system while the siren sounds; allow it to run for the full siren duration. Before sounding the siren a second time, the system automatically checks for another activated trigger. Should the siren sound again, you will know for sure that someone is tampering with your vehicle. (To disable FACT, see User-Selectable Features on pages 9-10.)
Dual-Mode Tampering Warning
Normally, the system immediately sounds its six-sound siren at the first inkling of an intrusion attempt. However, you may set the system to issue a rapid five-chirp warning whenever the system detects tampering to the exterior of your vehicle. If there is any further tampering within the next 30 seconds, or if a door, the hood or trunk is opened at any time, your system will sound a continuous 125dB six-sound siren blast. To select the mode of your choice, see User-Selectable Features on pages 9-10.
NOTE:Turning on the Tampering Warning feature overrides the FACT fea­ture, and vice-versa.
Smart Prior Intrusion Attempt Alert
When you remotely disarm, if you hear 3 chirps instead of the usual one chirp it means that a trigger or sensor was activated in your absence. When you enter the vehicle, the LED will blink several times, pause, then repeat the blink cycle 4 more times. Count the number of blinks in one cycle and refer to the chart below:
Number of LED blinks per cycle after disarming Trigger/Sensor Activated
1 blink 2 blinks 3 blinks
Magnetic Resonance Sensor
Door trigger
Trunk or hood trigger
AutoLock/AutoUnLock
For your safety and that of your passengers, the system automatically locks the doors when you turn on the ignition switch to start the engine and unlocks them once the ignition is turned off. If you prefer, you may turn off the AutoLock/AutoUnLock feature. See the User-Selectable Features section on pages 9-10.
Siren Duration
When the system detects an intrusion attempt, the alarm is set to sound for 30 seconds. However, if you prefer, you may change it to 60 seconds. See the User-Selectable Features section on pages 9-10.

AntiScan
Car thieves use electronic scanners that rapidly transmit one remote control code after another to defeat ordinary alarms. AntiScan prevents scanners from disarming your system.
Automatic Fault-Proof Starter Interrupt
The system automatically prevents engine starting while the system is armed but allows you to start it even in the unlikely event of a full system failure (other manufacturer’s alarms may leave you stranded).
Multi-Level Chirp Control
Whenever you wish, you may lower the volume or completely silence the system’s arm/disarm chirps. The short-term and one-time chirp muting capabilities are especially valuable when parking late at night in a quiet residential area. You have several choices:
Chirp Volume Control: Lets you lower the volume of the chirps or restore
them to full volume. See User-Selectable Features on pages 9-10.
Extended Chirp Silencing: Lets you completely silence the chirps until you
wish to restore them. See User-Selectable Features on pages 9-10.
Short-Term Chirp Muting: Lets you silence the chirps for a single arm-and-
disarm cycle. To enable short-term chirp muting, simply turn the vehicle’s igni­tion switch rapidly ON then OFF. The next time you arm and later disarm the system, there will be no chirps. After which, the chirps are restored.
One-Time Remote Chirp Muting: The most simple of all. To remotely arm or
disarm the alarm silently, press button III on the remote control.
Remote Headlight Activation OR Window/Sunroof Closure
The system’s built-in timer can control one of two great features when the system is in its armed state (these features require optional wiring):
Remote Controlled Headlight Activation
★ ★ Remote Controlled Window/Sunroof Closure (available only on certain vehicles)
Please see page 4: “To Activate an Option when the Alarm is Armed.” If connected to the headlights, you may set the timer duration to any interval between 1 second and
2.5 minutes. See the User-Selectable Features section on pages 9-10.
WARNING:
If your built-in timer controls window/sunroof closure in your car DO NOT change the timer setting! This requires installer-only programming. Changing the value will adversely effect operation and may cause damage.

Your Bullet vehicle security system allows you to set many of its features to your
User-Selectable Features
own personal preferences. We have made the programming procedures very simple: to make a change, you just flick the valet switch a few times.
The system comes from the factory with all of its features pre-programmed as noted in the table below and on page 10. To change any of the settings, use the procedure noted. To restore the feature to its factory setting, just repeat the procedure:
1. Select the feature you wish to program from the table on the following pages. Note the number of flicks and chirps associated with that feature.
2. Insert your ignition key and turn it to the “ON” position.
3. Immediately flick the valet switch back and forth, counting the number of chirps you hear. Stop when you reach the appropriate number of chirps
4. If noted, do the “secondary action.”
5. You will hear one or more chirps (as noted in the “program completion con­firmation" section) to confirm that you have changed the feature setting. Turn the ignition off.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for any other features you wish to program.

User-Programmable Remote Controls
Your system will respond to as many as four remote controls regardless of each remote control’s individual digital coding. Thus, you can buy additional remote controls, including the super-high-security 4.3-billion-code Premier™ remote controls, from any Authorized Clifford Dealer. To add a new remote control to the system, use the procedures noted in the User-Selectable Features section on pages 9-10.
To Erase Unwanted Remote Control Codes
If your remote control is ever lost or stolen, you can erase its digital codes from the system memory to make sure that the missing remote control can never be used to disarm your system. Just use the Add a New Remote procedures noted in
