Your 4-button/12-channel remote controls The 4-button/12-channel remote controls are ultra-sophisticated miniature radio transmitters powered by a tiny 12-volt battery. Range is up to 100 feet. A weak remote control battery will reduce range. Electrical interference and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your remote control to the system. If this happens, repeatedly press the remote control button (this works better than holding the button down). The 4-button/12-channel remote control is the key to your system. It has Clifford's Anti-CodeGrabbing™ (ACG) technology for the ultimate protection against "code-grabbing" devices (see page 10). You will use your remote control to arm and disarm the system, lock and unlock the doors, activate the panic feature, enable/exit valet mode, command options such as a remote trunk release, timed headlight activation, power window operation, electric garage door interface and even remote starting of the engine and heater or air conditioner, among other options. How to use your keychain remote control Your remote control can individually command up to 12 different system functions and options. It's like having a TV with 12 channels. You change channels (functions) with your keychain remote control. But instead of putting 12 buttons on the remote, we made it easy: To transmit either channel 1, 2, 3 or 4: J Just press either button 1, 2, 3 or 4. For instance, to transmit channel 3, press button 3. While you transmit, the LED indicator will blink once every second: this indicates level 1. To transmit either channel 5, 6, 7 or 8: Press the LevelShift button once. This shifts buttons 1-4 to level 2 (channels 5-8). Then press the desired button within the next 7 seconds. For instance, to transmit channel 5, press the LevelShift button once, then press button 1. While you transmit, you'll notice that the LED indicator blinks twice, pauses, blinks twice, etc.: this indicates level 2. To transmit channel 9, 10, 11 or 12: Press the LevelShift button twice. This shifts buttons 1-4 to level 3 (channels 9-12). Then press the corresponding button within the next 7 seconds. For instance, to transmit channel 12, press the LevelShift button twice, then press button 4. While you transmit, you'll notice that the LED blinks three times, pauses, blinks three times, etc.: this indicates level 3. NOTE: One second after you stop transmitting level 2 or level 3 (channels 5-12), the remote control automatically returns to level 1 (channels 1-4). 7

Your 4-button/12-channel remote controls
The 4-button/12-channel remote controls are ultra-sophisticated miniature radio
transmitters powered by a tiny 12-volt battery. Range is up to 100 feet. A weak
remote control battery will reduce range. Electrical interference and even sunspots
can interrupt the signal from your remote control to the system. If this happens,
repeatedly press the remote control button (this works better than holding the button
down). The 4-button/12-channel remote control is the key to your system. It has
Clifford’s Anti-CodeGrabbing™ (ACG) technology for the ultimate protection
against “code-grabbing” devices (see page 10). You will use your remote control to
arm and disarm the system, lock and unlock the doors, activate the panic feature,
enable/exit valet mode, command options such as a remote trunk release, timed
headlight activation, power window operation, electric garage door interface and

Your remote control can individually
command up to 12 different system
functions and options. It’s like having a

J
Just press either button 1, 2, 3 or 4.
For instance, to transmit channel 3, press button 3. While you transmit, the
LED indicator will blink once every second: this indicates level 1.
To transmit either channel 5, 6, 7 or 8:
Press the LevelShift button once. This
shifts buttons 1–4 to level 2 (channels 5–8). Then press the desired button
within the next 7 seconds. For instance, to transmit channel 5, press the
LevelShift button once, then press button 1. While you transmit, you’ll notice
that the LED indicator blinks twice, pauses, blinks twice, etc.: this indicates

the remote control automatically returns to level 1 (channels 1–4).
