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. If this happens, repeatedly press the
remote control button (this works better than holding the button down). The
4-button/12-channel remote control is the key to your system. It incorporates Clifford’s
Anti-CodeGrabbing™ (ACG) technology for the ultimate protection against
“code-grabbing” devices (see page 13). You will use your remote control to arm and
disarm the system, lock and unlock the doors, activate the panic feature, adjust sensor
sensitivity, enable/exit valet mode, command options such as a remote trunk release,
timed headlight activation, power window operation, electric garage door interface and
even remote starting of the engine and heater or air conditioner, among other options.
How to use your keychain remote control
Your remote control can individually command up to 12 different system functions and
options. It’s like having a TV with 12 channels. You change channels (functions) with
your keychain remote control. But instead of putting 12 buttons on the remote, we made
it easy: First, the button you use the most — button 1 to arm, disarm, lock and unlock —
is larger than the others. Buttons 2, 3 and 4 are the smaller buttons to the right, below
and left of button 1. The LevelShift button on the side of the remote control allows you
to select channels 5–12:
To transmit either channel 1, 2, 3 or 4:
Just press either button 1, 2, 3 or 4. For
instance, to transmit channel 3, press
button 3. While you transmit, the LED
indicator will blink once every second:
this indicates level 1.
To transmit either channel 5, 6, 7 or 8:
Press the LevelShift button once. This
shifts buttons 1–4 to level 2 (channels
5–8). Then press the desired button
within the next 7 seconds. For instance,
to transmit channel 5, press the
LevelShift button once, then press
button 1. While you transmit, you’ll notice that the LED indicator blinks twice,
pauses, blinks twice, etc.: this indicates level 2.
To transmit channel 9, 10, 11 or 12:
Press the LevelShift button twice. This shifts
buttons 1–4 to level 3 (channels 9–12). Then press the corresponding button
within the next 7 seconds. For instance, to transmit channel 12, press the LevelShift
button twice, then press button 4. While you transmit, you’ll notice that the LED
blinks three times, pauses, blinks three times, etc.: this indicates level 3.
NOTE: One second after you stop transmitting level 2 or level 3 (channels 5–12), the
remote control automatically returns to level 1 (channels 1–4).
