Clifford 800-IQ Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
Multiple-event TotalRecall™
The system’s memory records the identity of the last eight activated or malfunctioning
triggers and sensors, which allows your installer to instantly track down malfunctions.
To identify the triggers and sensors held in the system’s memory, use the following
procedure:
1. With the ignition OFF, flick the PlainView valet switch to its latched side.
2. Press button 1 to “arm” the system, then again to “disarm.”
3. The LED will blink 1–5 times to indicate the most recently activated point, pause,
blink 1–5 times to indicate the next most recently activated point, and so on.
4. Write down the number of blinks between pauses and refer to the chart below.
Smart prior intrusion attempt alert
If you hear three chirps when you remotely disarm, it means that a trigger or sensor was
activated in your absence. When you enter the vehicle and turn on the ignition (or start
the engine), the LED will blink 1–5 times, pause, then repeat the blink cycle 4 more
times. Count the number of blinks in one cycle and refer to the chart below:
Number of LED blinks between pauses Sensor/trigger indication

How to interpret the LED status indicator
The LED on your car’s dashboard or console will inform you of the system status:
LED Condition Meaning
Off
System is disarmed and in normal operating mode (i.e., valet mode is off)
On
Valet mode is on, the vehicle can be driven or serviced without having to disarm
Flashing
System is armed and protecting your vehicle
Pause between flashes
Either a malfunction (see page 16) or an intrusion was attempted (see above)
Automatic battery-saving mode
To conserve vehicle battery power (the LED draws more current than the entire control
unit), if the system has remained continuously armed for 48 hours, the flash rate will
automatically slow to half the normal rate. After 96 hours, it slows to one-quarter.
Fault-Proof™ starter interrupt
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.
