Standard Features of the Concept 50x

✔ Lifetime Warranty — For as long as you own the vehicle, Clifford will

repair or replace the control unit and remote controls free of charge (see warranty card for full details).

✔ FACT — False Alarm Control and Test — One of many patented Clifford

innovations, FACT absolutely, positively ends recurring false alarms.

✔ A Pair of 4-Button/12-Channel Remote Controls — Fingertip command

from a distance.

✔ Anti-CodeGrabbing (ACG) with Random Code Encryption — Today’s

criminals are shifting from code scanning to a new, much more efficient method of electronic thievery: “code-grabbing.” When you use a car alarm remote control, it transmits a digital code to your alarm. A thief with a code-grabber can record that code right off the air from hundreds of meters away, then play it back when you’re gone to disarm the alarm and unlock the doors. Within seconds, your car is just another theft statistic. Fortunately, Clifford’s Anti-CodeGrabbing (ACG) randomly changes the transmitted code every time you press any of the remote control buttons. And since these codes are selected by the system’s microprocessor from an electronic file containing several trillion codes, the remote control code twice, and the system control unit

NEVER accepts the same code twice.

That makes code-grabbing utterly useless against the Clifford Concept 50x.

NEVER sends the same

✔ UltraSecure Coded Valet Mode™ — Ensures that no thief can turn off

your Concept 50x like they can all other brands of alarms.

Remote Controlled Valet Mode Entry and Exit— With just a press of a button on

your remote control, you can enter or exit valet mode. Indicator light flashes visually confirm valet mode entry and exit.

✔

Built-In Two-Point AutoImmobilizer

— For the utmost in theft prevention, two AutoImmobilization circuits interrupt both the starter and electronic fuel pump while the system is armed. Even if a thief were to pull the fuses or cut all the wires, the starter and fuel pump remain immobilized.

Failure-Proof Driving Safety— Even in the unlikely event of a system

malfunction, the AutoImmobilizer will not stop the engine while the vehicle is being driven.

Standard Features of the Concept 50x

✔ Remotely Adjustable Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor— Two sensor zones

(cont.)

provide full protection: If someone is lurking near your car, the system will sound a warning tone. But if a thief actually leans into the passenger compartment, the system will instantly blast the siren. It is impervious to wind and temperature variations that cause ultrasonic sensors to false alarm and you can even adjust sensitivity of each zone via the remote control!

✔ Dual-Mode “Chirp” Silencing —Whenever you wish, just a press on the

remote control will arm and disarm the system silently. It’s perfect when parking at night in a quiet residential area. Or, if you prefer, you can turn off the chirps on a long-term basis until you wish to turn them back on.

✔

Remote Door Locking/Unlocking with Built-in Relays

—

No more fumbling

with keys in the dark or bad weather! A press of a button on the remote

simultaneously arms your system and locks the doors. Another press disarms and unlocks.

User-Selectable AutoLock— Automatically locks the doors the instant you turn

on the ignition to start the engine.

User-Selectable AutoUnLock— Automatically unlocks the doors when you turn

off the engine.

✔

Smart Self-Powered Siren with Unbreachable Digital ComLink

— Continuous two-way digital communication between the system and the siren assures that if, at any time, the system fuse is pulled or any siren wire is cut, the siren will instantly activate for five minutes. Yet when the system is disarmed and power is interrupted, the siren will remain silent.

Personalized Siren Sounds:

sound patterns for unmistakable recognition from a distance. So if you hear a siren at a distance, you will know for sure whether or not it is your car.

Automatic Low Battery Warning: If at any time the siren’s back-up battery

voltage is low or it fails to hold its charge, the normal arm and disarm chirps will be muted to alert you of the problem. Once the siren’s internal back-up battery is charged, the chirps will automatically be restored.

✔ Smart Remote Trunk Release Capability — Assures the optional remote

You may select any combination of 6 different

trunk release can be activated only if the system is disarmed. It also makes sure that the trunk release cannot be remotely activated while driving.

Standard Features of the Concept 50x

✔ Remote Window/Sunroof Closure Capability — On certain vehicles

(cont.)

(including several models of Mercedes Benz, Jaguar, Volkswagen and BMW), the system’s integrated timer and an optional relay can be used to automatically close the power windows and sunroof every time you remotely arm your system.

✔

QuietChirp

— Whenever you desire, you may choose to lower the decibel volume of the arm and disarm chirps to a level that is clearly audible but less obtrusive than the full-volume chirps. All it takes is a few flicks of a switch.

✔ User-Selectable AutoArming— Automatically arms itself “passively” if

you forget and has all these additional features:

AutoArming Enable/Disable— You may disable or re-enable the AutoArming

feature with just a few flicks of a switch.

AutoArm & Lock— You may set the system to automatically lock the doors

every time the system AutoArms.

Visual Indication— Two parking lights flashes signal that the 30-second

countdown to AutoArming has started.

Instant AutoArm Bypass— Just a quick turn of the ignition switch will bypass

AutoArming for one cycle — perfect when fueling the vehicle. AutoArming is automatically restored the next time you park.

✔ Patented Smart Prior Intrusion Attempt Alert — When you return to your

vehicle and remotely disarm your Concept 50x, a special chirp and indicator light flash sequence will audibly and visually alert you from a distance if an intrusion attempt was foiled while you were away. Your Concept 50x will even identify the specific trigger or sensor that detected the intrusion attempt.

✔

Remote Controlled Courtesy Lighting

— For your personal safety and convenience, when you remotely disarm your Concept 50x, the interior lights turn on and stay on until you start the engine or 30 seconds, whichever occurs first.

✔ Built-In Indicator Light Flasher — On-board relay and circuitry will

visually confirm door lock and system status.

Standard Features of the Concept 50x

✔ Patented Smart AutoTesting— Automatically tests all system triggers and

(cont.)

sensors every time you remotely arm and warns you if you accidentally arm your Concept 50x system with the hood or trunk open. If there is a genuine trigger or sensor malfunction, the system will specifically identify the problem, thereby eliminating time-consuming and costly trouble-shooting.

✔

Patented Malfunction AutoBypass with Automatic Monitoring

— In the unlikely event of a trigger or sensor malfunction, Concept 50x automatically bypasses the malfunction and arms all other points to continue relentless protection of your vehicle. If you simply left the hood, trunk or a door open when you armed, just close it and the system will again monitor that trigger point.

✔ Multiple-Event TotalRecall— Concept 50x’s memory stores the identity of

the last eight trigger and sensor activations. This provides an invaluable diagnostic means, since, whenever you wish, the system will visually identify the activated triggers and sensors in reverse chronological order.

✔ Patented Remote Control Code Learning with MultiRemote Recognition —

Just a few flicks of a switch lets you match to the system up to 4 different 12-channel Clifford ACG remote controls. Just as easily, a lost or stolen remote control can be deleted.

✔

Multiple-Car Control

— You may use the same remote to control Concept

50x systems on up to six of your other vehicles.

✔ High-Luminescence LED Status Indicator — Adds visual deterrence and

identifies system status.

✔ Patented SmartPowerUp II — When power to the system is disconnected,

the system’s non-volatile memory always remembers the security system’s last state (armed or disarmed) and returns to that state when power is restored. So if a thief disconnects the power and then restores it in an attempt to start the car, the system will instantly re-arm.
