ACG 2 protects you and your automobile from code-grabbing devices. Code-grabbers literally record, from hundreds of feet away, the code sent by your
car alarm remote control (code-grabbers are very similar to, but simpler than, cellphone "cloning" devices). The thief then plays back the code when
you're gone, instantly disarming the alarm and unlocking the doors. It's like leaving your keys and remote in the door. Many non-Clifford alarms can be
defeated that easily, and some of the latest "smart" code-grabbers can even decipher the code hopping/jumping sequence used by other car alarm
manufacturers. In contrast, your Solaris uses complex digital signal processing and unbreachable code encryption to randomly change the digital code
every time you use the remote control. Your remotes will never transmit the same code twice, and the control unit will never accept the same code twice.
Thus the code played back by the code-grabber — even the latest generation smart code-grabbers — will never be accepted by your Solaris system.
If your remote control battery is low, you'll hear a rapid 5-chirp sequence when you disarm instead of the usual one chirp (with the Self-Powered SmartSiren 4
option, you'll hear a low-pitched chirp). Replacement batteries are available from any Authorized Clifford Dealer.
Replacement of a remote control battery is fairly easy, but any Authorized Clifford Dealer will be happy to do it for you without cost provided that you buy the
replacement battery at their shop (it's also a good idea to keep a spare of each battery in your glove box just in case).
Master remote:
1. Unscrew the retaining screw on the back of the remote control.
2. Carefully pry apart the remote control case with your fingernails or a small, thin screwdriver blade near the keyring opening (you may leave the keyring
in place).
3. Remove the old battery noting the + and – indications and replace it with the new one.
4. Put the enclosure back together by first aligning the LevelShift button side, then the top of the remote, then snap the case back together at the
bottom.
5. Reinsert the retaining screw but DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Companion remote:
1. Insert a small, thin screwdriver blade in the slot near the keyring opening (you may leave the keyring in place) and turn it to separate the two halves.
2. Remove the old battery noting the + and – indications and replace it with the new one.
3. Put the enclosure back together by first aligning the top of the remote, then snapping the case back together at the bottom.
