Clifford Cyber 4 Owners Guide - Page 3

Welcome to the world of

high-technology vehicle security and convenience

C

ongratulations on the purchase of your Clifford Electronics mobile security/convenience system. Clifford Electronics has long been recognized as the

leading manufacturer of high-technology vehicle security systems. Our commitment to technological innovation, quality and reliability is clearly evident

in your Clifford

system. Yet despite all its sophistication, your system is amazingly easy to use, never more difficult than a few presses of a button.

Your remote controls

The two 4-button remote controls are sophisticated miniature radio transmitters each powered by a 3-volt lithium battery. A weak remote control battery

will reduce range (the system will warn you if the battery in your remote is nearing the end of its useful life, see the

Low battery warning

section for details).

Electrical/radio frequency interference, obstructions, weather conditions, even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your remote to the system. The remotes

are the keys to your system. But these remote controls are much more secure than car keys because each incorporates our ACG 2 (Anti-CodeGrabbing 2)

technology for the ultimate protection against remote control cloning devices. You will use your Cyber 4 remote control to arm and disarm the system,

lock and unlock the doors, activate/deactivate the panic feature, enable/exit valet mode and command options such as a remote trunk release, power

window control, electric garage door interface or even remote starting of the engine and heater or air conditioner, among other options.

Remotely controlling your Clifford system

TO ARM:

Press button

. Upon arming: two siren chirps, two parking light flashes, dashboard LED flashes repeatedly and doors lock.

TO DISARM:

Press button

. Upon disarming: one chirp, one parking light flash, LED turns off, doors unlock and the interior lights turn on.

TO ARM OR

DISARM SILENTLY:

Simultaneously press both the

button

and

the

button to arm or disarm without chirp acknowledgments.

TO PANIC:

For three seconds,

continually

press button

. The parking lights will flash repeatedly and the siren will sound. If the ignition is on

(indicating you are in the car), the doors will lock to prevent an assailant from entering (note: some vehicles are unable to lock the

doors while the ignition is on). If the ignition is off, the doors unlock, letting you enter immediately without fumbling with your keys.

TO REMOTELY

OPEN THE TRUNK:

If you have this option, press button

while the system is in its disarmed state.

TO REMOTELY TURN

ON HEADLIGHTS:


to turn on the headlights for 10-seconds. If this button is set up as a turbo timer on your car,

press it before turning off the ignition, then turn off the ignition, exit and remotely arm/lock. The engine will idle for the duration

set by your installer (1 second – 4 minutes) to cool the turbocharger, then shuts down the engine and brings the sensors online.

TO REMOTELY

START THE ENGINE:


to remotely start the engine (or shut it down if idling under the control of IntelliStart 4).

Before remote starting, be sure to see the

Remote Engine Starting DOs and DON’Ts

noted in the IntelliStart 4 user’s manual. Since

remote control range is an issue with remote engine starting, you may want to consider the optional ElectroLoop Antenna option.

TO TURN VALET

MODE ON OR OFF:

Simultaneously press buttons

and

to enable/exit valet mode.

TO REMOTELY OPEN

OR VENT WINDOWS:

If you have this option, press buttons

and

after disarming to fully open the windows controlled by SmartWindows 4.

On hot days, press this button combination right after arming to vent the windows slightly while the system remains armed.

ACG 2 (Anti-CodeGrabbing 2™)

ACG 2 protects you and your automobile from code-grabbing devices. Code-grabbers literally record, from hundreds of feet away, the code sent by your

car alarm remote control (code-grabbers are very similar to, but simpler than, cellphone “cloning” devices). The thief then plays back the code when

you’re gone, instantly disarming the alarm and unlocking the doors. It’s like leaving your keys and remote in the door. Many non-Clifford alarms can be

defeated that easily, and some of the latest “smart” code-grabbers can even decipher the code hopping/jumping sequence used by other car alarm

manufacturers. In contrast, your Cyber 4 uses complex digital signal processing and unbreachable code encryption to randomly change the digital code

every time you use the remote control. Your remotes will

never

transmit the same code twice, and the control unit will

never

accept the same code twice.

Thus the code played back by the code-grabber — even the latest generation smart code-grabbers — will never be accepted by your Cyber 4 system.

Remote control battery replacement

Replacement of the battery is simple, but any Authorized Clifford Dealer will be happy to do it for you provided you buy the replacement battery at their shop.

1.

Insert a small, thin screwdriver blade in the slot near the keyring opening (you may leave the keyring in place) and turn it to separate the two halves.

2.

Remove the old battery noting the + and – indications and replace it with the new one.

3.

Put the enclosure back together by first aligning the top of the remote, then snapping the case back together at the bottom.

Automatic remote control low-battery warning

If your remote control battery is low, you’ll hear a rapid 5-chirp sequence when you disarm instead of the usual one chirp (with the Self-Powered SmartSiren 4

option, you’ll hear a low-pitched chirp).

Replacement batteries are available from any Authorized Clifford Dealer.
