This product, like any electrical device in your vehicle, requires your car battery be in proper working order and fully charged. To ensure pro per operation, periodically have your vehicle battery “load-checked” at any local garage/mechanic. Also make sure the battery cables and connections are tight and free from corrosion.

Wel come to the world of

high- technology ve hi cle se cu rity and con ven ience

ongratulations on the purchase of your Clifford Electronics mobile security/convenience system. Clifford Electronics has long been recognized as the leading manufacturer of high-technology vehicle security systems. Our commitment to technological innovation, quality and reliability is clearly evident

in your Clifford system. Yet despite all its sophistication, your system is amazingly easy to use, never more difficult than a few presses of a button.

Your re mote con trols

The two 3-button remote controls are sophisticated miniature radio transmitters each powered by a 3 -volt lithium battery. A weak remote control battery will reduce range (the system will warn you if the battery in your remote is nearing the end of its useful life, see the Low battery warning section for details). Electrical/radio frequency interference, obstructions, weather conditions and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your remote to the system. The remote controls are the keys to your system. But these remote controls are much more secure than ca r keys because each incorporates our ACG 2 (Anti-CodeGrabbing 2) technology with trillions of digital codes for the ultimate protection agains t remote control cloning devices. You will use your Clifford remote control to arm and disarm the system, lock and unlock the doors, activate/deactivate the pan ic feature, enable/exit valet mode and command options such as a remote trunk release, power window control, electric garage door interface or even remote starting of the engine and heater or air conditioner, among other options.

Press button . Upon arming: two siren chirps, two parking light flashes, dashboard LED flashes repeatedly and doo rs lock.

Press button . Upon disarming: one chirp, one parking light flash, LED turns off, doors unlock and the interior l ights turn on. Simultaneously press both the button and the ✱ button to arm or disarm without chirp acknowledgments.

For three seconds, continually press button . The parking lights will flash repeatedly and the siren will blare for 30 seconds. If the ignition is on (indicating you are in the car), the doors will automatically lock to prevent an assailant from entering (note : some vehicles are unable to lock the doors while the ignition is on). If the ignition is off, the doors will unlock, allowing you to enter immediately without fumbling with your keys.

If you have this option, press button while the system is in its disarmed state.

If you have this option, press button ✱ to remotely start the engine (or shut it down if idling under the control of IntelliStart 4). Before remote starting, be sure to see the Remote Engine Starting DOs and DON’Ts noted in the IntelliStart 4 user’s manual. Since remote control range is an issue with remote engine starting, you may want to consider the op tional ElectroLoop Antenna option.

Simultaneously press buttons and ✱ to enable/exit valet mode.

If you have this option, press buttons and after disarming to fully open the windows controlled by SmartWindows 4. On hot days, press this button combination right after arming to vent the windows slightly while th e system remains armed.

ACG 2 (Anti- CodeGrabbing 2™)

ACG 2 protects you and your automobile from code-grabbing devices. Code-grabbers literally record, from hundreds of feet away, the code sent by your car alarm remote control (code-grabbers are very similar to, but simpler than, cellphone “cloning” devices). The thief then plays back the code when you’re gone, instantly disarming the alarm and unlocking the doors. It’s like leaving your keys and remote in the door. Many non-Clifford alarms can be defeated that easily, and some of the latest “smart” code-grabbers can even decipher the code hoppi ng/jumping sequence used by other car alarm manufacturers. In contrast, your Polaris 4 uses complex digital signal processing and unbreachable code encryption to randomly change the digital code every time you use the remote control. Your remotes will never transmit the same code twice, and the control unit will never accept the same code twice. Thus the code played back by the code-grabber — even the latest generation smart code-grabbers — will never be accepted by your Polaris 4 system.

Auto matic re mote con trol low- battery warn ing

If your remote control battery is low, you’ll hear a rapid 5-chirp sequence when you disarm instead of the usual one chirp (with the Self-Powered SmartSiren 4 option, you’ll hear a low-pitched chirp). Replacement batteries are available from any Authorized Clifford Dealer.

Re mote con trol bat tery re place ment

Replacement of a remote control battery is simple, but any Authorized Clifford Dealer will be happy to do it for you without cost provided that you buy the replacement battery at their shop (it’s a good idea to keep a spare battery in your glove box j ust in case).

1. Insert a small, thin screwdriver blade in the slot near the keyring opening (you may leave the keyr ing in place) and turn it to separate the two halves.

2. Remove the old battery noting the + and – indications and replace it with the new one.

3. Put the enclosure back together by first aligning the top of the remote, then snapping the case bac k together at the bottom.
