Your 2-button/3-channel remote controls

The 3-button/3-channel remote control is a miniature radio transmitter powered by a
tiny 12-volt battery. Range is up to 100 feet. Obstructions, electrical interference,
weather conditions or a weak battery will reduce the range. Your 2-button/3-channel
remote is the key to your XL500 system. You will use it to arm and disarm the
system, lock and unlock the doors, activate the panic feature and control options
such as a remote trunk release. Additional remote controls and remote control
batteries are available from any Authorized Clifford Dealer, or call our 24-hour
Customer Service Department toll-free at [phone].

TO ACTIVATE

AN OPTION . . . . . . .

Press button I once. You will hear two chirps and the parking
lights will flash twice (most vehicles require an optional
parking light relay). The dashboard LED will flash repeatedly
and the car doors will automatically lock (some vehicles
require optional relays). Any attempt to break into the vehicle
will sound the siren, optionally flash the parking lights and, if
you have this option, electronically disable the starter.

Press button I again. One chirp and, optionally, one flash of
the parking lights, will confirm disarming. In addition, the car
doors will unlock.

Simultaneously press buttons I+II. The system will arm or
disarm with all the indications noted above except the chirps.

Press button I for 3 seconds. The parking lights will flash
repeatedly (again, most vehicles require an optional parking
light relay) and the siren will blare for 30 seconds, or until you
press button I again to turn it off.

Button II may activate a remote controlled option, such as a
remote trunk release, IntelliStart remote engine starter,
NightVision’s remote headlight activation feature, the venting
and rolldown features of SmartWindows II, etc.

AntiScan™

Car thieves use electronic scanners that rapidly transmit one remote control code after
another to defeat ordinary car alarms. AntiScan prevents scanners from disarming your
system.
