User manual CLIFFORD XL 500

[. . . ] Malfunction AutoBypassTM -- Bypasses any malfunction and arms all other points. Patented Prior Intrusion Attempt Alert -- Identifies whether a trigger or a sensor was activated during an attempted intrusion while you where away. Advanced CMOS Microprocessor -- Commands and monitors system functions more than 10, 000 times per second, yet draws less power than your car's clock. Full-Time Remote Panic -- For your safety, you can remotely activate the siren and flashing parking lights from inside or outside the vehicle, even while driving. [. . . ] One chirp and, optionally, one flash of the parking lights, will confirm disarming. The system will arm or disarm with all the indications noted above except the chirps. 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. TO DISARM THE SYSTEM . . AntiScanTM 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. 2 AutoArmingTM If this feature is enabled and you forget to remotely arm your XL500, the system will arm itself automatically ("passively") 30 seconds after the vehicle doors are closed. For your convenience, if you re-open any door(s) within the 30-second countdown, AutoArming will restart from the beginning once all doors are closed. Your XL500 includes these additional AutoArming features: AutoArming enable/disable: If you prefer, you may deactivate or reactivate the AutoArming feature. AutoArm & Lock: To ensure that you can't accidentally lock your keys inside the car, the system is factory-set not to lock the doors upon AutoArming. To change this setting, see User-selectable features on page 6. NOTE: To prevent AutoArming of the system when fueling the vehicle, either enable valet mode (see below) or leave one of the doors open. Valet mode Whenever the system is put in valet mode, all of the system's security features are switched off. For instance, when having your car serviced, washed or parked by a valet. NOTE: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you can disarm the system by enabling valet mode. To enable valet mode: 1. Turn the ignition switch to its "ON" position or start the engine. The system's LED will glow continually for on-going visual confirmation of valet mode. To exit valet mode: 1. Turn the ignition switch to its "ON" position or start the engine. The LED will turn off to confirm that the system is in its normal operating mode. Magnetic Resonance SensorTM The Magnetic Resonance Sensor detects intrusion-related vibrations and impacts. For an even greater level of security, consider Clifford Electronics optional sensors: the Glass Tampering Sensor (detects attempts to break any of your vehicle's windows) OmniSensor (a digital analysis vibration/impact sensor) and/or the Proximity Sensor (a passenger compartment radar sensor, particularly important for convertible and other open-top cars). 3 AutoTestingTM Each time you remotely arm your XL500, it will automatically perform an extensive series of tests on all the system's triggers and sensors. If a trigger malfunction is found, you will be visually and audibly alerted immediately with 4 chirps and 4 flashes of the parking lights instead of the usual 2 and 2. If a sensor is malfunctioning, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, a few seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes. Automatic malfunction bypass To provide the utmost protection even if a system component malfunctions, your XL500 will automatically bypass the faulty point and arm all other triggers and sensors to provide the utmost possible protection until you can have the system serviced by your local Authorized Clifford Dealer. [. . . ] Your XL500 recognizes this an an authorized power reconnection and will not alarm. 5 User-selectable features Your XL500 vehicle security system allows you to set many of its features to your own personal preferences. We have made the programming procedures very simple: to make a change, you just flick the valet switch a few times. The system comes from the factory with all of its features pre-programmed as noted in the table below. To restore the feature to its factory setting, just repeat the procedure: 1. [. . . ]
