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, Clifford 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 Cyber 5. 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, the system will automatically arm itself 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. Cyber 5 has these additional AutoArming features: AutoArming enable/disable: If you prefer, you may deactivate or reactivate the AutoArming feature. See User-selectable features on pages 15-16. 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 15-16. Instant AutoArming bypass: Prevents AutoArming when fueling the vehicle and other times when you wish to temporarily bypass the AutoArming feature. To activate Instant AutoArming Bypass, rapidly turn the ignition switch to "ON" then "OFF" twice. You will hear a single siren chirp to confirm that the system will not AutoArm. Your Cyber 5 will revert to its normal operating mode when you next start the engine. 10
