system maintenance The system requires no specific maintenance. Your transmitter is pow- ered by a miniature 3V lithium battery (CR2032) that will last approxi- mately one year under normal use. When the battery weakens, operat- ing range will be reduced and the system will provide a low battery warning chirp indication when disarming.
transmitter configurations Remote Start or Accessory Output Button Accessory Output Button transmitter functions This system uses computer-based code learning to learn the transmit- ter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any transmitter button to any system function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with standard configuration, but may also be customized using the CliffNet Wizard PC program.
standard configuration Button The arming, disarming, and panic function are controlled by this button. Button The trunk release or accessory output A is controlled by this button. Button Accessory output B is controlled by this button. Button Remote start is controlled by this button. Buttons Silent arm/disarm is controlled by these buttons.
using your system The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond to the standard transmitter configuration. If your transmitter has been custom configured, the icons on your transmitter buttons may not correspond to the indicated functions. arming You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your trans- mitter for one second.
and programmed for passive locking) at 30 seconds, but the siren will not chirp. The early chirps provide you with a 25-second warning prior to arming. n n o o t t e e : : If any protected entry point (a door or a switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm.
disarming without a transmitter This feature allows you to disarm the system without the transmitter should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order to disarm without a transmitter, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key, know where the PlainView 2 Valet switch is located, and have the PIN code. Be sure to check with the installer for the location of the PlainView 2 Valet switch.
transmitter sensor disable To temporarily disable a sensor input, arm the system, press . The lights will flash four times and all warn away trigger zones one, three, and eight are bypassed. Press the buttons again; the lights flash four times and both warn away and full trigger zones one, three, and eight are bypassed until the system is disarmed.
auxiliary channel bypass Alarm sensor input zones one, three, and eight will be bypassed while a pulsed or timed auxiliary Output is active. panic mode with smart door locking If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention by triggering the system with your transmitter! Just press two seconds to enter Panic Mode.
3. After the last digit of the pin code is entered: a. To disarm the system: press and release b. To enter valet mode: Press and hold three seconds. The LED status indicator will light steadily if you are entering Valet Mode and will turn off if you are exiting Valet Mode.
one-time auto-arming bypass This will bypass the auto arm feature once only. With the key, turn the ignition on, then off within two seconds. The siren will chirp once to confirm auto arming bypass. The system will not auto arm. n n o o t t e e : : The system will revert to normal auto arming when the system sees the ignition on for at least three seconds.
or the ignition is turned on. For more information, please refer to the Table of Zones section of this guide. false alarm control technology (FACT II) Your system offers FACT repetitive trigger sequences due to a faulty sensor or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc.
select siren sounds To customize siren sounds, please refer to the selectable siren sounds feature in the User Selectable Features grid. Once in programming mode, press on the transmitter to begin playback of the avail- able sounds. Press on the PlainView 2 Valet switch while playing the desired sound to add that sound;...
tem will monitor that input normally. For example, if your vehicle has interior light exit delay, and you arm the system before the interior light goes out, you may hear Bypass Notification chirps. Once the light shuts off, however, the doors are monitored normally. disarming diagnostics Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert.
table of zones The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify a specific input. The standard input assignments are listed below, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches you have had installed. If the Warning Zone response is triggered, the LED will not report it.
high frequency Your system transmits and receives at 433 MHz. This provides a cleaner spectrum with less interference and a more stable signal. smart power up II This security system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. If power is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the stored state from memory.
Power Saver in Valet Mode: When the system enters Valet Mode the LED illuminates steadily. If the vehicle is not used (ignition is not turned on) for a period of one hour while the system is in Valet Mode, the LED will shut off. If the system remains in Valet Mode, the LED will come back on the next time the ignition is turned on and then back off.

Panic mode enabled/disabled: Some states have laws against siren capability while driving. Full trigger response 30, 60, or 90 seconds: This determines how long the full triggered sequence lasts. Some states have laws regulating how long a security system can sound before it is considered a nuisance.
cliffnet wizard installation software programming Cliffnet Wizard provides access to all available system features and some that are not available when manually programming with the Valet switch. Cliffnet Wizard is compatible with Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP/NT so most programming operations can be accomplished by pointing and clicking with a mouse.
