Clifford Falcon II Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
Anti-CodeGrabbing (ACG) Capability
Clifford Electronics’ optional 4-button/12-channel Anti-CodeGrabbing (ACG)
remote controls protect you and your automobile from the most effective and
onerous car stealing device ever used by car thieves — a code-grabber.
Code-grabbers literally record, from hundreds of meters away, the code sent by your
car alarm remote control. Then the thief simply plays back the code when you’re
gone, instantly disarming the alarm and unlocking the doors. Your Falcon II has
Clifford Electronics’ proprietary ACG technology built into its control unit. Our
ACG technology uses complex proprietary digital signal processing and
unbreachable encryption to randomly change the digital code every time you use the
optional 4-button/12-channel Anti-CodeGrabbing (ACG) remote control. Your
optional ACG remote control will never transmit the same code twice, and the
control unit will never accept the same code twice.
Clifford Electronics also offers an optional ACG interface (#64-128/ACG) to your
electric garage door/gate opener that not only allows you to command your garage
door and/or gate opener(s) via your optional Clifford ACG remote control, but also
protects your garage and home from burglars with code-grabbers.
AutoArming
If this feature is enabled and you forget to remotely arm, the system will
automatically arm itself 30 seconds after the vehicle doors are closed. For your
convenience, if you re-open any door(s) within the 30-second countdown,
AutoArming will restart from the beginning once all doors are closed. Falcon II has
these additional AutoArming features:
AutoArming enable/disable: If you prefer, you may deactivate or reactivate
the AutoArming feature. See User-selectable features on pages 13-14.
AutoArm & Lock: To ensure you can’t accidentally lock your keys inside the
car, the system is factory-set not to lock the doors upon AutoArming. To
change this setting, see User-selectable features on pages 13-14.
Visual acknowledgment: Five seconds after you exit the vehicle and close all
the doors, the indicator lights will flash twice to confirm that the AutoArming
countdown is progressing. Then, 25 seconds later, the system will AutoArm
itself.
Instant AutoArming bypass: Prevents AutoArming when fueling the vehicle
and other times when you wish to temporarily bypass the AutoArming
feature. To activate Instant AutoArming Bypass, rapidly turn the ignition
switch to “ON” then “OFF” twice. You will hear a single siren chirp to
confirm that the system will not AutoArm. Your Falcon II will revert to its
normal operating mode when you next start the engine.
