Clifford Sabre II Automobile Alarm User Manual


 
UltraSecure™ Coded Valet Mode
Your secret valet code
In seconds, thieves can disable all other alarm brands by hotwiring the ignition and
flicking an easy to find “hidden” valet switch. Your Sabre II system has safeguards
that absolutely ensure a thief cannot enable the valet mode as a way of “turning off”
your system. How? To enable valet mode, the driver must first enter a secret valet
code on the PlainView switch. If a thief tries guessing your code, after three
incorrect entries, the siren will sound and the system will not accept any further
entries for two minutes. Your code will be a 1-to-3-digit number of your choosing.
Each digit can be any number from 1 to 9, (i.e. the code can be any number between
1 and 999, except those that contain a zero). Whenever the system is in valet mode,
it overrides the AutoArming feature (see page 7) and all the security features are
turned off. At various times, you will need to switch the system off. For instance,
when having your car serviced, washed or parked by a valet.
Your factory-set valet code is the single digit “2.”
NOTE: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you can disarm
the system by enabling valet mode.
Definitions
Digit: A digit is defined as any number from 1 to 9, inclusive.
Valet code: A valet code may be 1 to 3 digits:
A one-digit code=X=any number between 1-9
A two-digit code=XY=any number between 11-99 (excluding numbers with zeros)
A three-digit code=XYZ=any number between 111-999 (excluding numbers with zeros)
Remember, no code can have a zero.
PlainView switch:
A rocker switch mounted on the dashboard or console. The
switch has three positions: 1.) Latched 2.) Center 3.) Spring-loaded
momentary.
When you press the latched side, the switch remains in its
pressed position. When you press the momentary side, the switch bounces
back to the center position.
Entering a digit: To enter a digit, you tap (press and release) on the
momentary side of the PlainView switch the number of times corresponding
to the numeral of the digit to be entered, followed by pressing to the latched
side, then returning the switch to its center position.
Entering a code: If your code has only
one digit
, enter the code as described
in “Entering a digit.,” If your code has more than one digit, just repeat the
above for each digit of your code.
