Your 4-button/12-channel remote controls The 4-button/12-channel remote controls are ultra-sophisticated miniature radio transmitters powered by a tiny 12-volt battery. Range is up to 100 feet. A weak remote control battery will reduce range. Electrical interference and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your remote control to the system. [...]

What each button/channel does Your Concept 40 remote controls come pre-programmed so that certain channels command certain functions. If you wish, you can actually assign any channel except 9 through 12 to any function (see pages 20-24). The following chart indicates what each remote control channel number does, and how to transmit each channel num[...]

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 ano[...]

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 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, t[...]

To exit valet mode 1. Turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position or start the engine. 2. Flick the switch back to its center position. The LED will turn off to confirm that the system is now in its normal operating mode. Setting your own secret valet code Since all Concept Series systems have the same factory-set code, it is highly advisable[...]

FA CT™— False Alarm Control an d T est With FACT, you’ll never experience repeated false alarms. If the Insignia Siren goes off, DO NOT remotely disarm the system; allow it to run for the full siren duration. Before sounding the siren a second time, the system automatically checks for another activated trigger to verify that an intrusion is i[...]

Remote controlled sensor adjustments Due to ever-changing conditions, all alarms require periodic fine-tuning of their sensors. Other alarms require repeated trips back to the dealer. Not so with Concept 40. You can adjust sensitivity of each sensor zone electronically without tools and without even knowing where the sensors are mounted! If the set[...]

Smart AutoTesting™ Each time you remotely arm the system, it tests all triggers and sensors. If the hood or trunk is open when you remotely arm, the system will immediately alert you of the problem by sounding 4 chirps and 4 parking light flashes instead of the usual 2 and 2. If a door is ajar, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and flashes, the[...]

Smart prior intrusion attempt alert If you hear three chirps when you remotely disarm, it means that a trigger or sensor was activated in your absence. When you enter the vehicle and turn on the ignition (or start the engine), the LED will blink 1–5 times, pause, then repeat the blink cycle 4 more times. Count the number of blinks in one cycle an[...]

User-selectable features Your Concept 40 allows you to set many of its features to your own personal preferences. Although the system’s programming capabilities are very extensive, we have made the programming procedures very simple: to make a change, you just flick the PlainView switch a few times. Once you’ve changed a few settings, you’ll [...]
