Clifford AvantGuard III Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
n Personalised Siren Sounds: Most alarm sirens have a single “warble” tone. A few
offer “six-tone” sirens that cannot be adjusted or require destruction of circuit
wires to change the sounds (the change is permanent and cannot be changed
again). Your AvantGuard III siren is different. As shipped from the factory, it
sounds six different alarm sounds. However, you may turn any of the six sounds
on or off to create a different combination of sound patterns. In all, there are 64
different combinations. You may set your own Personalised Siren Sounds so if
you hear a siren at a distance, you will know for sure whether or not it is your car.
See
User-selectable features
on pages 31-35.
n Long-term chirp silencing: Whenever you wish, you may silence your
AvantGuard III’s arm/disarm chirps until you wish to restore them. The indicator
light flashes will continue to provide visual confirmation of remote controlled arming
and disarming. See the User-Selectable Features section on pages 31-35.
n
Remote controlled chirp muting: This feature is especially valuable when parking
late at night in a quiet residential area. To arm or disarm silently, simply press
button 3 on your remote control instead of the usual button 1.
n QuietChirps: You can control the volume of the normal arm and disarm chirps. As
shipped from the factory, your system issues full-volume chirp confirmations. If
you prefer, you may reduce the chirp volume to a level that is clearly audible, yet
less obtrusive. See the User-selectable features section on pages 31-35.
n Siren duration: When the system detects an intrusion attempt, the alarm is set to
sound for 30 seconds. However, if you prefer, you may change it to 60 seconds.
See the User-Selectable Features section on pages 31-35.
n Automatic Noise Abatement: To ensure against battery drain and towing of the
vehicle due to noise pollution, the siren will sound for no more than five siren
duration cycles even if a door is left open in the wake of an intrusion. The system
then automatically resets, rearms and monitors all other points to provide the
utmost possible protection.
Adding new remote controls
For other drivers in your family, you can buy additional 16-channel remote controls
from
any
Clifford Dealer and program them into the system yourself. Each AvantGuard
III will respond to as many as four 16-channel remote controls, and you can also
program them into Clifford ACG systems on your other vehicles. To add a new remote
control to the system, use the procedures noted in the User-selectable features section
on pages 31-35.
How to erase lost or stolen remote controls
If one of your remote controls is ever lost or stolen, you can remove it from the system
memory to make sure that the missing remote control can never be used to disarm your
system. To do so, use the “Erase all channels” feature (feature column 2, row 6 on the
Table of user-selectable features on pages 34-35). This will clear all remote control codes
from the system memory. Then simply program each remaining and/or replacement
remote control as noted in the User-selectable features section on pages 31-35.
