IMPORTANT: What you MUST do to drive your car Until you set your own PIN code, you will use the factory-set code of "2." To drive your car, do the following: 1. Shut all doors, then start the engine. 2. Enter the factory-set disarming code of 2: DD blank (you may do this while driving, if you wish). 3. The dashboard LED will flash on for an instant to confirm proper code entry. You may now drive or continue driving the vehicle. What you MUST do if you hear 5 siren chirps while driving If you forget to enter your code, the system will remind you 20 seconds after you begin driving by "chirping" the siren 5 times and flashing the LED. At this point, you have another 20 seconds to enter your code. When entered, the LED will stop flashing and the siren will chirp once to confirm proper code entry. If the proper code is not entered within 20 seconds after the 5-chirp signal, the engine will be shut down. You may enter your disarming code even after the engine is shut down. Once the proper disarming code is entered, you will be able to resume driving. How to set your own valet/disarming PIN code Since all BlackJax 4 systems use the same factory-set code of 2, we strongly recommend that you program your own unique code as soon as possible. Your secret valet/disarming PIN code will be used to deactivate BlackJax, enter valet mode and enter programming mode. You may choose any 1-4-digit PIN code, but the first digit must not be a zero (e.g., 1023 is a valid code, 0123 is not). See User-selectable features. Let's say you want to set a PIN code of 4301: 1. Enter program mode by turning on the ignition, entering your current code, thenpressing and holding the D button of the PlainView 2 switch for 3 seconds until you hear a chirp. 2. Press the blank button once, then pause. After pausing, you will hear a confirmation chirp. 3. Within 5 seconds, press and release the D button 7 times. To help you count, you will hear a chirp each time you press the D button. After 7 presses, immediately press the blank button, then immediately enter your new code. Example: To enter 4301 as your new code, you would press the switch buttons in this manner: DDDD blank, DDD blank, blank, D blank. 4. Wait for the 2-chirp confirmation. 5. Turn off the ignition to exit program mode (you'll hear a 3-chirp confirmation). 6. VERY IMPORTANT: You must immediately test your new valet/disarming PIN code: Turn on the ignition, enter your new code, then press and hold the blank button for 4 seconds. The LED will illuminate to indicate that the system is in valet mode. Turn the ignition off. The system is now in valet mode. If the LED does not illuminate, the new code you programmed and the one you just entered do not match. In such a case, the system will revert to the previous code. 7. To exit valet mode and return to normal operation, turn the ignition on and enter your code. The LED will turn off to confirm that the system has exited valet mode. "Guessing" your code won't help a carjacker What if the carjacker is familiar with Clifford's patented PlainView 2 coding system and tries guessing codes at random? No problem. After three incorrect codes are entered, the system will ignore any further code entries for a short time. So even if the carjacker were to actually stumble upon your code during this time, he would still not be able to silence your system or restart the engine. 4
