Welcome to the world of high-technology

vehicle security and convenience

ongratulations on the purchase of your Clifford Concept 30 remote controlled vehicle security and

convenience system.

Your Concept 30 is packed with protective features and lifestyle convenience benefits that other car alarm companies don’t even have on their wish lists, let alone their alarms. Features like AntiCodeGrabbing™ that fights off the latest and most onerous threat from high-tech thieves. A thief equipped with a code-grabber can record with total impunity the codes of your car alarm’s remote control from up to several hundred feet away. How? The thief simply waits for you to arm or disarm your alarm with your remote control. The thief’s portable, pocket-sized code-grabber will automatically pick and record the transmitted code off the air. As soon as you walk away, he simply plays it back, instantly disarming your alarm and unlocking the doors. It’s like giving the thief your car keys. Code-grabbing will instantly defeat all other brands of remote controlled car alarms, regardless of whether they are equipped with anti-scanning or trillions of digital codes.

Clifford’s unique PlainView™ Coded Valet switch ensures that no thief, carjacker or joy-rider can turn off your Concept 30 like they can with all other car alarm brands. Plus there’s QuietChirps™, remote controlled chirp muting, for your safety and convenience built-in circuitry for remote headlight control or, on certain vehicles, remote window rollup that saves you the cost of optional modules. And, for your peace of mind, we back it all up with a lifetime warranty and a $3,000 AntiTheft guarantee (see the enclosed cards for details).

Yet despite all the sophistication, your Concept 30 is amazingly easy to use: never more difficult than a few flicks of a switch or a press of a button on one of your miniature keychain remote controls.
