How to interpret the chirps and parking light flashes When you use the remote control, the system responds with chirps (unless the chirp muting feature is turned on) and parking light flashes. These chirp/flash acknowledgments mean: Chirps and flashes 1 2 2 and then 4 3 4 5 Meaning Your system is disarmed or you have remotely exited valet mode (see page 16) Your system is armed or you have remotely engaged valet mode (see page 16) Armed but there is a door open (if there was a 5-sec. delay) or the sensor is malfunctioning (if there was a 10-sec. delay) (see Smart AutoTesting on page 18) Disarmed but there was an intrusion attempt while you were away (see Smart prior intrusion attempt on page 18) Armed but the hood or trunk is ajar (see Smart AutoTesting on page 18) 20-seconds to engine shutdown: enter your disarming code IMMEDIATELY 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. Unlike scanners that sequentially transmit one digital code after another until they hit the correct code to disarm the alarm (a process that may take minutes to years depending on the system's total number of codes), 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. It's like giving the thief your car keys. Non-Clifford alarms can be defeated that easily. In contrast, Concept Series systems 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. Thus the code recorded and played back by the thief's code-grabber will never be accepted by your Concept 60. Only ACG can make a car alarm impervious to code-grabbing, and only Clifford systems have ACG with Random Code Encryption. Tamper-proof ignition immobilization While armed, the system assures that your vehicle is completely immobilized by automatically locking out the ignition system. That means that a thief won't be able to start the engine even if he had a duplicate of your car key. Even if he were to find the system control unit and tear it out of your vehicle, he still would not be able to start your car's engine! Optional starter interrupt With the addition of an optional relay, while the system is armed, the vehicle's starter circuit is electronically disconnected. Our Fault-Proof design ensures that you'll be able to start the engine even in the unlikely event of a system malfunction. 14
