important information

Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art vehicle security system. It has been designed to provide years of troublefree operation. This system must be installed by an authorized dealer. Installation of this product by anyone other than an authorized dealer voids the warranty. As verification of authorization, all authorized dealers are provided with preprinted dealer certificates.

In order to maximize the use of this system, please review this owner's guide carefully prior to using your system. You can print additional or replacement copies of this owner’s guide by accessing the Clifford website at www.clifford.com.

system maintenance

The system requires no specific maintenance. Your remote control is powered by a miniature 3V lithium battery that will last approximately one year under normal use. When the battery weakens, operating range will be reduced and the LED on the remote will dim.

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.

fcc/id notice

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this device.

transmitter functions

The receiver uses computer-based code learning to learn the transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any transmitter button to any receiver function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with standard configuration, but may also be customized by an authorized dealer. 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 transmitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. 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 approximately once per second, showing that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming, and see the LED status indicator flashing in groups, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.

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 LED status indicator will flash twice as fast as it does when the system

is armed. The siren will chirp once 20 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 and programmed for passive locking) at 30 seconds, but the siren will not chirp. The early chirp provides you with a 10-second warning prior to arming.

note: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a switchprotected trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm (unless forced passive arming is programmed on.) See Programming Options section of this guide. Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.

When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows:

Light impacts will trigger the Warning Zone signal. When triggered, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash for a few seconds.

Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered sequence is between 1-180 seconds of constant siren and flashing parking lights.

If a door is opened, the system will immediately start chirping the siren and flashing the parking lights. Three seconds later, the siren output changes to a continuous blast. This progressive response gives you time to disarm the system with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door while the system is armed, while still providing an instant response (even if the door is immediately closed).

6	© 2 0 0 1 d i r e c t e d e l e c t r o n i c s , i n c .

Turning on the ignition key will trip the same two-stage response as opening a door.

The optional starter interrupt prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking.

multi-level security arming (optional feature)

note: Multi-Level Security Arming is only available when using an optional 4-button Radar Master transmitter that has been configured with separate transmitter buttons for arming and disarming.

Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the security system's inputs or sensors will be active and which will be bypassed at the time that the system is armed. (See Table of Zones section.) Pressing the arm button again within five seconds of arming the security system will activate the Multi-Level Security Arming feature. Each time the arm button is pressed again, a different security level is selected. The different security levels can be selected as follows:

Pressing the arm button one time: The siren chirps once. The system is armed.

Pressing the arm button a second time within five seconds: The siren chirps twice followed by a long chirp. Zone Two is now bypassed.

Pressing the arm button a third time within five seconds: The siren chirps three times followed by a long chirp. Zone Four is now bypassed.

Pressing the arm button a fourth time within five seconds: The siren chirps four times followed by a long chirp. Zones Two and Four are now bypassed.

Pressing the arm button a fifth time within five seconds: The siren chirps five times followed by a long chirp. All input zones, except the ignition, are now bypassed.

note: Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a single arming cycle. Once the system is disarmed and then re-armed, all the zones will be active again.

arming while driving

Your system can be armed while driving the vehicle! Simply press on your transmitter for 1.5 seconds while the vehicle is running, or the ignition is on. The system will chirp once and then once more to indicate that the ignition is on. The system will not respond to any input except the door triggers and the starter interrupt relay (if installed) will not be activated. The system will disarm automatically when the ignition is turned off. The siren will chirp twice and the LED will stop flashing.

note: If programmed for the optional Vehicle Recovery System (VRS) feature, arming with the transmitter will arm the VRS feature. (See VRS section of this guide.)

disarming

To disarm the system, press the parking lights will flash

You will hear two chirps, and twice. If the power locks are
