Clifford’s unique PlainView Coded Valet Switch ensures that no thief, carjacker or joy-rider can turn off your Concept 50 like they can with all other car alarm brands. For total freedom from incorrectly adjusted sensors, there’s remote controlled adjustment of the system’s Dual-Zone Magnetic Resonance Sensor that...
Built-in vehicle recovery/anti-carjacking circuitry Concept 50’s built-in BlackJax circuitry provides a safe and effective means of recovering your vehicle after a theft or carjacking. IMPORTANT: The factory setting for this feature is OFF. Once you are familiar with the following, we suggest you turn this feature ON (see pages 20–22). When anti-carjacking is on, each time you begin driving you MUST enter your disarm- ing code as noted below (unless the system is in valet mode).
What you MUST do if you forget to enter the disarming code If you forget to enter the code, Concept 50 will remind you to do so 20 seconds after you begin driving by “chirping” the siren 5 times and flashing the LED on the dashboard. At this point, you have another 20 seconds to enter your code.
12-volt battery. The range is up to 100 feet. Obstructions, electrical interference, weather conditions or a weak battery will reduce the range. Your 4-button/12-channel remote control is the key to your Concept 50. It incorporates Clifford’s proprietary Anti-Code- Grabbing™ (ACG) technology with Random Code Generation for the ultimate in protection against “code-grabbing”...
What each button/channel does Your Concept 50 remote controls come pre-programmed so that certain channels command certain functions. If you wish, you can actually assign any channel (except 11 and 12) to any function (see pages 19–22). The following chart indicates what each remote control channel number does, and how to transmit each channel number.
Press button 3 (channel 3). Your Concept 50 system will arm or TO SILENTLY ARM OR DISARM disarm with all the indications noted on the previous page except THE SYSTEM ..for the chirp acknowledgments.
Clifford systems have ACG with Random Code Encryption. Smart AutoArming™ If this feature is enabled and you forget to remotely arm your Concept 50, it arms itself auto- matically (“passively”) 30 seconds after the doors are closed. For your convenience, if you re-open any door within the 30-sec.
(such as a mechanic) who will not know your disarming code, you must place Concept 50 in valet mode, otherwise your car will be immobilized. NOTE: If you temporarily lose the use of your remote controls, you can disarm the system by enabling valet mode.
Not so with Concept 50. You can adjust sensitivity without any tools and without even knowing where the sensor is mounted! All you need is your car alarm’s remote control. If at any time you find the setting(s) of your system’s sensors to be either too sensitive (i.e., it tends to false...
(To disable FACT, see User-selectable features on pages 19–21.) Smart AutoTesting™ Each time you remotely arm your Concept 50, it will perform a series of tests on all triggers and sensors. If the hood or trunk is open when you arm the system, Concept 50 will immediately alert you of the problem by issuing 4 chirps and 4 parking light flashes instead of the usual 2 and 2.
If your vehicle already has a similar warning feature, you may turn off your Concept 50’s Headlight Reminder. See the User-selectable features section on pages 19–21. Remote QuickAccess™...
What’s more, even if he were to find the system control unit and tear it out of your vehicle, he still won’t be able to start your car’s engine! That’s Clifford security you can count on.
Either a malfunction (see page 15) or an intrusion was attempted (see page 17) High-output Medallion™ Siren All the electronics for the system’s siren are built into your Concept 50’s main control unit, rather than the siren itself. This protects the circuitry from engine heat, dirt and exposure to the elements (in contrast, the electronics of other alarm companies’...
PlainView switch a few times. Once you’ve changed a few settings, you’ll find that programming Concept 50 is so easy, you can even do it while driving! The system comes with all of its features pre-programmed as noted by the bold type in the Matrix of user-selectable features on the following page.
AutoArm & Lock: on/off info on page 15 info on page 12 NOTE 6 Gray cells indicate features that require programming by trained Clifford installers. DO NOT change any of these setting. NOTE 9: the window to test sensitivity. NOTE 10: one-chirp confirmation.
Authorized Clifford Dealer (or call our 24-hour Customer Service Department at 800-824-3208) and program them into the system yourself. Each Concept 50 will respond to as many as four 12-channel remote controls. To add a new remote control to the system, use the procedures noted in the User-selectable features section on pages 19–21.
