Clifford 800 Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
not sensitive enough, you may individually test and adjust the sensitivity
settings yourself. To do so, just use the following procedure:
1. Disarm the system, open the driver’s window, then select the zone you wish:
a. Interior zone: Transmit channel 11 (LevelShift twice, then button 3).
b.Outer warning zone: Transmit channel 12 (LevelShift twice, then button 4).
2. To test the current sensitivity setting:
a. Interior zone: Lean into the passenger compartment. You will hear a chirp
when the zone detects your presence. Ideally, it should chirp when you lean
over the driver’s seat, but remain silent when you lean toward the window.
b.
Outer zone:
Lean toward the driver’s window. You will hear a chirp when
the zone detects your presence. Ideally, it should chirp only when you are
within about one foot of the vehicle.
3. To increase sensitivity, press button 2 on your remote control. To decrease it,
press button 4. Each time you increase sensitivity, the siren will chirp in higher
and higher pitched tones to confirm the higher sensitivity. Conversely, lower
and lower tones confirm each sensitivity decrease. Two normal tone chirps
indicate minimum and maximum sensitivity. There are 32 sensitivity levels for
the Proximity Sensor’s critical inner zone; 16 for the outer warning zone.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you are satisfied with the sensitivity, then press
button 1 to record the new sensitivity setting and exit the sensor test/adjust
mode (you’ll hear three chirps to confirm exit). You may now either repeat
steps 1–4 for the other sensor zone, or press button 1 to arm the system.
Sound complicated? It really isn’t, there’s just a lot of explanation of what’s happening
with each step. All you really have to do is the actions noted in bold type. Give it a try.
FACT™— False Alarm Control and Test
With FACT, you’ll never experience repeated false alarms. If the siren goes off, DO
NOT disarm the system; let it run for the full siren duration. Before sounding the siren a
second time, the system automatically checks for another activated trigger to verify that
an intrusion is in progress. Should the siren sound again, you will know for sure
someone is tampering with your vehicle.
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. Other, non-Clifford alarms may leave you stranded.
Optional tamper-proof ignition immobilization
If your IntelliGuard 800 is equipped with the ignition immobilization option, while
armed, the system ensures that your vehicle is completely immobilized by automatically
locking out the ignition system. That means that a thief won’t be able to start your
vehicle’s engine even if he had a duplicate of your car key. What’s more, even if he
were to find the system control unit and tear it out of your vehicle, he still won’t be able
to start your car’s engine! That’s Clifford security you can count on.
