important information
Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art vehicle

voids the warranty. As verification of authorization, all authorized deal-
ers are provided with preprinted dealer certificates.

system maintenance
The system requires no specific maintenance. Your transmitter is powered by a miniature 3V lithium battery (CR2032) 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 battery
warning chirp indication when disarming.
your warranty
Your warranty registration must be completely filled out and returned
within 10 days of purchase. Your product warranty will not be validated if your warranty registration is not returned. Make sure you receive
the warranty registration from your dealer. It is also necessary to keep
your proof of purchase, which reflects that the product was installed by
an authorized dealer.

transmitter configurations
transmitter functions
This system uses computer-based code learning to learn the transmitter 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. The buttons in all of the instructions in this manual correspond to a standard configuration transmitter.

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. When the system arms, you will hear two short
siren sounds, or chirps, and see the parking lights flash twice. The LED
will begin to flash steadily. If the vehicle’s power door locks have been
connected to the system, the doors will lock.
While the system is armed, the LED status indicator will flash approxi-
mately once per second showing that the system is actively protecting
your vehicle. If you hear more than two chirps when arming, refer to
the Diagnostics section of this guide. These extra chirps confirm a mal-
function autobypass.
The security system also can be programmed to arm itself
automatically (called passive arming). If the system is programmed for
passive arming, it will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition
is turned off and the system sees you leave the vehicle by opening and
closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive-arming
countdown. The siren will chirp twice and the lights will flash twice five
seconds after the last door has been closed. The system is not actually
armed at that point. The system arms and the doors lock (if connected
7

and programmed for passive locking) at 30 seconds, but the siren will
not chirp. The early chirps provide you with a 25-second warning prior
to arming.
When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:
z
The LED will flash as a visible theft deterrent.
z
Light impacts will trigger the Warning Zone signal. When
triggered, the siren will sound for a few seconds.
z
Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered
sequence is 30, 60, or 90 seconds of constant siren sounding
and flashing parking lights.
z
If a protected entry (door, hood, or trunk) is opened, the system will immediately trigger the siren and flash the parking
lights. If any vehicle glass is broken the system will immediately trigger the siren and flash the lights.
disarming
To disarm the system, press . You will hear a chirp and the parking lights will flash once. If the power locks are connected to the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps three times when disarming, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This is called Tamper
Alert. If the siren is active when the system is disarmed you will hear two
chirps but the system is not disarmed. (Refer to the Remote Siren
Silencing section of this guide.) However, if the alarm completes the full
trigger cycle when disarmed you will hear three chirps.
nnoottee::
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.
8
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.
Please refer to the Disarm/Valet Mode section of this guide for instruc-
tions to enter the pin code.
remote siren silencing
This system offers remote siren silencing. Remote siren silencing is a fea-
ture that makes it possible to silence and reset the system when it is
triggering without disarming the system. If the system is triggered and
the siren has been sounding, press on the transmitter to stop the
trigger and return the unit to the armed state. The system will not dis-
arm, but rather reset. This prevents you from disabling the system
should you wish to silence it without visually checking the vehicle. After
resetting the system, press again to disarm the system.
transmitter chirp muting
To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use transmitter chirp
muting. Simply press and on the transmitter, and the
confirmation chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one operation only. The
parking lights will flash to confirm the arm/disarm command. If you
want the arm/disarm chirps turned off permanently, please refer to the
User-Selectable Features section of this guide.

transmitter sensor disable
To temporarily disable a sensor input, arm the system, press and
. The lights will flash four times and all warn away trigger zones
one, three, and eight are bypassed. Press the buttons again; the lights
flash four times and both warn away and full trigger zones one, three,
and eight are bypassed until the system is disarmed. This can be per-
formed anytime the system is armed.
1. Arm the system.
2. Press and together.
3. The lights will flash four times; all warn away zones are
now bypassed.
4. Transmit the sensor bypass channel again.
5. The lights will flash four more times; the sensor warn away
and full trigger zones are now bypassed.
6. The sensor zones will reset when disarmed.
intellistart and smartwindows sensor bypass
When the system sees a command to start the vehicle via the
Intellistart, it bypasses sensor zones and will continue to bypass these
zones until the remote start shuts down.
When the system sees a SmartWindows command for up or down
operation, the unit will automatically bypass sensor zones one, two,
three, and eight until the windows complete their operation.
