Clifford intellivoice IQ Vechicle Security Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
AntiScan™
Thieves can disarm some other brands of car alarms with a “scanner” that rapidly
transmits one remote control code after another. Clifford’s AntiScan will detect any
scanner and block the codes it generates.
Anti-CodeGrabbing™ (ACG) with Random Code Encryption
A Clifford exclusive that protects you and your automobile from the most effective and
onerous car stealing device ever used by car thieves — a code-grabber. Code-grabbers
are far more effective and efficient than scanning. Unlike scanners that sequentially
transmit one digital code after another until they hit the correct code to disarm the alarm
(a process that may take minutes to years depending on the system’s total number of
codes), code-grabbers literally record, from hundreds of feet 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. It’s like giving the thief your car
keys. Non-Clifford alarms can be defeated that easily. In contrast, the IntelliVoice-IQ
uses complex digital signal processing and unbreachable encryption to randomly change
the digital code every time you use the remote control. Your remote will never transmit
the same code twice, and the control unit will never accept the same code twice. Thus
the code recorded and played back by the thief’s code-grabber will never be accepted by
your IntelliVoice-IQ. Only ACG can make a car alarm impervious to code-grabbing,
and only Clifford systems have ACG with Random Code Encryption.
Enhanced 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. IntelliVoice-IQ 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 17-21.
Visual acknowledgment: Five seconds after you exit the vehicle and close all the
doors, the parking lights will flash twice to confirm that the AutoArming countdown
is progressing. Then, 25 seconds later, the system will AutoArm.
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 17-21.
User-selectable entry delay: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote
controls, you may turn on the 15-second entry delay feature. This allows you to
enter the car and silently disarm the system by turning on the ignition within 15
seconds of opening the door. See User-selectable features on pages 17-21.
Instant AutoArming bypass: Prevents AutoArming when fueling the vehicle and
other times when you wish to temporarily bypass AutoArming. To activate Instant
AutoArming Bypass, rapidly turn the ignition switch to “ON” then “OFF” (a single
chirp will confirm this if the system is in its non-voice chirp mode: see page 15).
The system reverts to its normal operating mode when you next start the engine.
