The Remote Control
Your dual-button/triple-channel keychain remote control is a sophisticated
radio transmitter that sends a unique digital code across a typical range of
up to 100 feet. Nova III can accept up to 4 different Clifford remote controls.
Certain factors — such as obstructions, weather conditions or a weak remote
control battery — may effect the range.

How to Silently Arm or Disarm the System with the Remote Control

at night in a residential area. To do so is simple: Just simultaneously press
both buttons I and II on the remote control. The parking lights will provide
confirmation of disarming or arming with one or two flashes, respectively.

How to Panic the System with the Remote Control
As an added safety measure, the system was designed to respond if you ever
face harassment and are within transmittal range of the vehicle. Simply
press button I continuously for 3 seconds. The parking lights will flash and
the siren will sound for your choice of 30 or 60 seconds (see How to Set
User-Selectable Features on pages 9-10), calling attention from passersby.
Remote Control Low Voltage Warning
A miniature 12-volt battery powers the remote control. As the battery
voltage decreases over time, range will decrease. If the battery voltage gets
too low, the remote control LED will flash dimly or not at all. Get a new
battery as soon as possible from your local Authorized Clifford Dealer or call
the Clifford Customer Service Department at (800) 824-3208.
Remote Control of Optional Accessories
Button II on the remote control is your lifestyle convenience button: It may
optionally command an IntelliStart remote engine starter, the remote rolldown/venting feature of SmartWindows II, NightVision’s remote headlight activation feature, the trunk release or your home’s electric garage door.
