Anti-CodeGrabbing™ (ACG) with Random Code Encryption A 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. Codegrabbers are far more effective and efficient than scanning (see page 8). Unlike scanners that sequentially transmit one digital code after another hoping one of them is the correct code to disarm the alarm (a process that may take hours, days or even years depending on the alarm's number of codes), code-grabbers literally record, from hundreds of feet away, the code sent by your car alarm remote control. A code-grabber will instantly duplicate any remote control code, even if the remote has billions or trillions of codes. The thief simply waits for you to arm your alarm with the remote control and walk away. Then he plays back the code, instantly disarming your car's alarm and unlocking the doors. It's like giving the thief your car keys. All non-Clifford alarms can be defeated that easily. In contrast, Concept systems use complex digital signal processing and unbreachable encryption to randomly change the digital code every time you use the remote. Your remote will never transmit the same code. Thus the code recorded and played back by the thief's code-grabber will never be accepted by your Concept 30. Only ACG can make a car alarm impervious to code-grabbing, and only Clifford systems have ACG with Random Code Encryption. Enhanced AutoArming™ If this feature is enabled and you forget to remotely arm your Concept 30, 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. Concept 30 includes all these additional Enhanced AutoArming features: AutoArming enable/disable: If you prefer, you may deactivate or reactivate the AutoArming feature. See User-selectable features on pages 16-17. Visual acknowledgment: Five seconds after you exit the vehicle and close all the doors, the parking lights will flash twice to confirm that the AutoArming countdown is progressing. Then, 25 seconds later, the system will AutoArm. AutoArm & Lock: To ensure 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 pages 16-17. Instant AutoArming bypass: Prevents AutoArming when fueling the vehicle and other times when you wish to temporarily bypass AutoArming. To activate Instant AutoArming Bypass, rapidly turn the ignition switch to "ON" then "OFF." You will hear a single siren chirp to confirm that the system will not AutoArm. The system reverts to its normal operating mode when you next start the engine. NOTE: To prevent AutoArming when fueling the vehicle, either use the Instant AutoArming Bypass feature noted above, or leave one of the doors open. 9

Anti-CodeGrabbing™ (ACG) with Random Code Encryption
A 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 are far more effective and efficient than scanning (see page 8). Unlike scanners
that sequentially transmit one digital code after another hoping one of them is the
correct code to disarm the alarm (a process that may take hours, days or even years
depending on the alarm’s number of codes), code-grabbers literally record, from
hundreds of feet away, the code sent by your car alarm remote control. A code-grabber
will instantly duplicate any remote control code, even if the remote has billions or
trillions of codes. The thief simply waits for you to arm your alarm with the remote
control and walk away. Then he plays back the code, instantly disarming your car’s
alarm and unlocking the doors. It’s like giving the thief your car keys. All non-Clifford
alarms can be defeated that easily. In contrast, Concept systems use complex digital
signal processing and unbreachable encryption to randomly change the digital code
every time you use the remote. Your remote will never transmit the same code. Thus
the code recorded and played back by the thief’s code-grabber will never be
accepted by your Concept 30.
Only ACG can make a car alarm impervious to
code-grabbing, and only Clifford systems have ACG with Random Code Encryption.
Enhanced AutoArming™
If this feature is enabled and you forget to remotely arm your Concept 30, 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. Concept 30
includes all these additional Enhanced AutoArming features:
AutoArming enable/disable:
If you prefer, you may deactivate or reactivate the
AutoArming feature. See
User-selectable features
on pages 16–17.
Visual acknowledgment:
Five seconds after you exit the vehicle and close all
the doors, the parking lights will flash twice to confirm that the AutoArming
countdown is progressing. Then, 25 seconds later, the system will AutoArm.
AutoArm & Lock:
To ensure 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 pages 16–17.
Instant AutoArming bypass:
Prevents AutoArming when fueling the vehicle and
other times when you wish to temporarily bypass AutoArming. To activate
Instant AutoArming Bypass, rapidly turn the ignition switch to “ON” then “OFF.”
You will hear a single siren chirp to confirm that the system will not AutoArm.
The system reverts to its normal operating mode when you next start the engine.
NOTE: To prevent AutoArming when fueling the vehicle, either use the Instant
AutoArming Bypass feature noted above, or leave one of the doors open.
