Page 7 highlights

Optional Anti-CodeGrabbing™ (ACG™) remote control(s) ACG is an optional Clifford exclusive that protects you and your automobile from the most effective and onerous car stealing device ever used by car thieves - a code-grabber. Code-grabbers literally record, from hundreds of feet away, the code sent by your car alarm remote control. Then the thief simply plays back the code when you're gone, instantly disarming the alarm and unlocking the doors. Your Arrow II is ACG-compatible. All you need is one or more optional Clifford 4-button/12-channel ACG remote controls. These ACG remote controls use complex digital signal processing and unbreachable encryption to randomly change the digital code every time you use the remote control. Your remote will never transmit the same code twice, and the control unit will never accept the same code twice. What's more, the additional channels of the ACG remote control can be used to command yet another remote vehicle accessory (such as the IntelliStart™ remote engine/heater/air conditioning starter), can be used to remotely enter and exit valet mode (see page 8), can be used to command a multi-door electric garage door/entry gate opener (#60-128/ACG), and can be programmed to operate Clifford systems on your other vehicles.

Optional Anti-CodeGrabbing™ (ACG™) remote control(s)
ACG is an optional Clifford exclusive that protects you and your automobile from the
most effective and onerous car stealing device ever used by car thieves — a
code-grabber. Code-grabbers literally record, from hundreds of feet away, the code
sent by your car alarm remote control. Then the thief simply plays back the code
when you’re gone, instantly disarming the alarm and unlocking the doors. Your
Arrow II is ACG-compatible. All you need is one or more optional Clifford
4-button/12-channel ACG remote controls. These ACG remote controls use complex
digital signal processing and unbreachable encryption to randomly change the digital
code every time you use the remote control. Your remote will never transmit the
same code twice, and the control unit will never accept the same code twice.
What’s more, the additional channels of the ACG remote control can be used to
command yet another remote vehicle accessory (such as the IntelliStart™ remote
engine/heater/air conditioning starter), can be used to remotely enter and exit valet
mode (see page 8), can be used to command a multi-door electric garage door/entry
gate opener (#60-128/ACG), and can be programmed to operate Clifford systems on
your other vehicles.

flashes.
