Clifford 800 Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
Smart Trunk Release Capability
Your IntelliGuard 800 has a built-in electronic interlock that automatically prevents
accidental activation of the remote trunk release option. If you have this option, you’ll note
that the system must be disarmed and the ignition must be off in order for you to remotely
pop the trunk with button 2 (channel 2). Transmitting channel 2 while the system is armed
will optionally activate the headlights for any duration of your choosing between 1 second
and 2.5 minutes (factory preset to 30 seconds).
SmartPowerUp™ II
If power to the system control unit is ever removed, SmartPowerUp II ensures that the
system will automatically restore itself to its previous status when power is restored. So
if a thief tampers with the vehicle battery in an attempt to steal your car, the system will
automatically re-arm itself and immediately sound the siren. However, if your vehicle is
to be serviced by a mechanic, just put the system in valet mode. If the mechanic needs to
interrupt vehicle power, your system will automatically return to its valet mode state
when power is restored; there will be no alarm activation and no need to provide your
mechanic with your remote control and instructions on how to use it.
AutoLock/AutoUnLock™
For your safety and that of your passengers, the system automatically locks the doors when
you begin driving, and unlocks them when you turn off the ignition. If you prefer, you
may turn off this feature. See the User-selectable features section on pages 20–22.
High-output MultiSound Medallion™ Siren
All the electronics for the siren are built into the IntelliGuard 800’s control unit rather
than the siren itself. This protects the circuitry from engine heat, dirt and exposure to the
elements (in contrast, the electronics of other alarm companies’ sirens are part of the
siren itself and, therefore, far more susceptible to failure). In addition to greatly enhancing
long-term reliability, your IntelliGuard 800 also provides these additional features:
Personalized Siren Sounds: Most alarm sirens have a single “warble” tone. A
few offer “six-tone” sirens that either cannot be adjusted or require the
physical destruction of certain circuit wires in order to change the sounds (the
change is permanent and cannot be changed again). Your IntelliGuard 800
MultiSound Medallion Siren circuitry is different. As shipped from the
factory, the siren sounds six different alarm sound patterns. However, you
may turn any of the six different alarm sound patterns on or off to create a
different combination of sound patterns. In all, there are 64 different
combinations you may select. You may set your own Personalized Siren
Sounds so if you hear a siren at a distance,
you will know for sure
whether it is
your car or someone else’s. See
User-selectable features
on pages 20–22.
QuietChirps™: You can control the volume of the normal arm and disarm
chirps. As shipped from the factory, your system issues full-volume chirp
acknowledgments. If you prefer, you may reduce the chirp volume to a level
18
