A Pair of VirtualKeysTM -- These ingenious proximity keys that are attached to your car keys communicate through the airwaves with the engine immobilization system even before you insert your car key into the ignition switch. These keys are truly virtual since they are completely "user-transparent. " There is nothing you need to do in order to either arm or disarm your VirtualKey AutoImmobilizer. n 280, 000, 000, 000, 000 Digital Codes -- Each VirtualKey utilizes a truly unique digital code selected from a code universe of more than 280, 000, 000, 000, 000 digital codes. [. . . ] yet it's totally secure. Instant Code Learning -- You can easily add new VirtualKeys in seconds, Instant Code Deletion -- If one of the VirtualKeys is ever lost or stolen, a simple procedure will clear all the VirtualKey codes from the system's non-volatile memory so that the remaining VirtualKeys may be reprogrammed into the system. Dual Grounds -- To thwart tampering and assure unfailing operation. Non-Volatile Memory -- The VirtualKey AutoImmobilizer remembers all the VirtualKey codes associated with your system even if the power is disconnected. Fault-Proof Driving Safety -- Clifford's unique electronic circuitry assures that the VirtualKey AutoImmobilizer cannot inadvertently shut down the car's engine while the owner is driving. Even if the thief found the system control unit and ripped it out of the car, the engine still won't start! Sabotage-Proof Electronics -- Since no thief can outsmart the VirtualKey High-Luminescence LED Status Indicator -- Indicates system status and provides visual deterrence. 2 Operation of your VirtualKey AutoImmobilizer Proper Attachment of the VirtualKey to the Ignition Key The VirtualKey MUST BE ATTACHED DIRECTLY to the vehicle's ignition key and NOT to a keychain. The reason is that the VirtualKey code must be electronically read through the airwaves by the AutoImmobilizer's antenna, which is located near your vehicle's ignition switch. Since the range is, by design, only a few inches, the closer the VirtualKey is to the antenna, the better is the likelihood of trouble-free operation. To drive your vehicle When the system is active, the dashboard or console-mounted LED will be flashing. When you open your car door, you must immediately insert your car key into the ignition switch (otherwise the horn or optional siren will sound). When you insert your car key, the Virtual Key comes into close proximity to the VirtualKey detector mounted near the ignition switch. The system instantly reads and verifies the secret code of the VirtualKey and, if it matches, releases its electronic immobilization of your vehicle's starter motor, ignition system and electronic fuel pump. The LED turns off to confirm this. AutoArming There's nothing you need to do to set the VirtualKey AutoImmobilizer. Sixty seconds after you remove your key from the ignition switch, the system automatically engages its electronic immobilization of your vehicle's starter motor, ignition system and electronic fuel pump. Even if a thief has an exact duplicate of your car key, he still won't be able to start the engine. In fact, if he tries to start it without your VirtualKey in place, the system will sound the horn or optional siren and continue its triple lockout of the starter, ignition and fuel pump. 3 Adding New VirtualKeys Your VirtualKey AutoImmobilizer will accept as many as 30 different VirtualKeys. Immediately bring the VirtualKey you removed within an inch of the ignition switch. When you bring the VirtualKey into range the 5th time, the LED will light and remain lit to indicate the system is in program mode. [. . . ] After 30 seconds of holding it in place, the LED will turn off to indicate all codes have been erased from memory. IMPORTANT: At this stage, your system will disarm when ANY VirtualKey is used, so immediately use the "Adding New VirtualKeys" procedure above to add all your remaining VirtualKeys. 4 © Copyright Clifford Electronics, Inc. , 1998 31-020B/VKOM/298 World-Class Auto Security TM TM TM Installation Manual [. . . ]
