Welcome to the world of

high-technology vehicle security and convenience

C ongratulations on the purchase of your Concept 300, and thank you for choosing

Clifford Electronics World-Class Auto Security for your vehicle security needs!

Clifford has long been recognised as the world’s leading manufacturer of

high-technology vehicle security systems and accessories. Buying Clifford products has

always meant buying the best, and that commitment to technological innovation,

reliability and quality is clearly evident in the Thatcham-evaluated Concept 300.

Your Concept 300 is loaded with protective features and convenience benefits,

including our ACG 2™ (Anti-CodeGrabbing) that fights off thieves with

code-grabbers (a device similar to those that capture and “clone” cellular phones).

Clifford’s unique PlainView 2 Coded Valet Switch ensures that no thief can turn off

your Concept 300 like they can with other car alarms. The Smart Self-Powered

Medallion Siren with Digital ComLink will detect any theft-related wire tampering

and continue to sound even if the thief were to cut all the wires! Our new optional

CliffNet Wizard™ PC interface lets you test and set all the user-selectable features

on your computer screen. Our latest innovation, the optional Wireless FuelGuard

Module, makes theft by even the most skilled car thief virtually impossible since there

are no wires for the thief to trace! Plus there’s remote controlled valet mode, dual-point

immobilisation, an electronic interlock to prevent accidental activation of theoptional

remote boot release, smart automatic locking/unlocking if you ever need to “panic”

the system, full-time programming access, and much, much more. Yet despite all the

sophistication, you will find that your Concept 300 is amazingly easy to use: never

more difficult than a few presses of a button.

NOTE: Your system MUST be installed by an Authorised Clifford Dealer in

accordance with the instructions we supply them. The system is intended for

automobileswitha12-voltbatteryandpetrol-ordiesel-poweredengines.

NOTE: The Installation Certificate document must be completed by your

installer at the Authorised Clifford Dealer. Other than the remote controls,

this system has no user-serviceable parts. Your Authorised Clifford Dealer

can correct any system wiring problems and, if ever needed, can return any

malfunctioning component to Clifford Electronics for repair/replacement

under the terms printed on the supplied warranty card. Any alterations or

additions would automatically invalidate the warranty, antitheft guarantee

(if applicable) and invalidate the Installation Certificate.

Maintenance

Your Concept 300 requires no maintenance except for replacement of remote control

batteries when they reach the end of their useful life; see the Automatic low battery

warningand Remote control battery replacement sections on page 8. This product, like any

electrical device in your vehicle, requires that your vehicle battery be in proper working

order and fully charged. To ensure proper operation, periodically have your vehicle

battery “load-checked” at any local garage/mechanic and ask them to verify that the

charging system (alternator, etc.) is working properly. Also make sure the battery cables

and connections are tight and free from corrosion.

Your remote controls

The 4-button remote controls of your Concept 300 are ultra-sophisticated miniature

radio transmitters each powered by a tiny3-volt lithiumbattery. A weak remote control

battery will reduce range (the system will warn you if the battery in your remote is

nearing the end of its useful life, see Automatic remote control low battery warningon page

8 for details). Electrical/radio frequency interference, buildings and other obstructions,

weather conditions and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your remote to the

system. If this happens, repeatedly press the remote control button several times until

the system responds (this works better than holding the button down). The remote

controls are the keys to your system. But these remotes are much more secure than car

keys because each incorporates Clifford’s ACG 2™ (Anti-CodeGrabbing 2™) technology

with trillions of digital codes for the ultimate protection. You will use your Concept 300

remote control to arm and disarm the system, lock and unlock the doors,

activate/deactivate the panic feature, enable/exit valet mode and command options such

as a remote boot release, timed headlight activation, automatic closure of the power

windows, electric garage door interface and even remote starting of the engine and

heater or air conditioner, among other options.

TIP:Ifyoupress the top of the remotetoyourchin,you can increase the range

since your body acts as a large radio antenna (this is the same principle as a

station coming in more clearly when you touch the TV or radio antenna).

How to use your remote controls

Each of your two remote controls can command several different functions and options.

TO ARM, PRESS:

You will heartwo chirpsand the indicator lights will flash twice.

The dashboard LED will flash repeatedly and your vehicle’s power

locks will automatically lock.

TO DISARM,

AGAIN PRESS:

One chirp and one indicator light flash confirms disarming. In

addition, the power locks will automaticallyunlock, the LED will

turn off and the interior lights will turn on and stay on for 30

seconds or until you start the engine, whichever occurs first.

TO ACTIVATE

THE PANIC

FEATURE, PRESS

AND HOLD:

Hold the button 3 seconds. The indicator lights will flash

repeatedly and the siren will blare until you press the button

again to turn it off. If the ignition is on (indicating you are in the

car), the doors will automatically lock to prevent an assailant from

entering (note: some vehicles are unable to lock the doors whilst

the ignition is on). If the ignition is off, the doors will unlock,

allowing you to enter immediately without fumbling with your keys.

TO REMOTELY OPEN

THE BOOT, PRESS:

If you have the remote boot release option, pressing the

button whilst the system is disarmed will release the boot latch (see

Smart boot release option on page 9 for more information). If you do

not have the boot release option, you may assign this button to

activate one of the other functions noted in column 4 of theTable

of User-Selectable Featureson page 19, or it can be programmed

into a Clifford ACG 2 electric garage door/entry gateopener

interface or a Concept 100, 300, 400 or 600 on your other car.

TO ACTIVATE THE

TIMED HEADLIGHTS,

PRESS:

If you have the remote timed headlight activation option, pressing

the button will turn on the headlights for any duration you

wish between one second and 4 minutes (the factory setting is 10

seconds; see User-selectablefeatures on pages 18-19). If you do not

have this option, you may assign this button to activate one of the

other functions noted in column 4 of theTable of User-Selectable

Features on page 19, or it can be programmed into a Clifford ACG

2 electric garage door/entry gate opener interface or a Concept

100, 300, 400 or 600 on your other vehicle.

TO REMOTELY START

THE ENGINE, PRESS:

✱

The ✱button is factory-set to activate the IntelliStart 4* remote

engine starting accessory. If you do not have this option, you may

assign this button to activate one of the other functions noted in

column 4 of theTable of User-Selectable Featureson page 19, or it

can be programmed into a Clifford ACG 2 electric garage

door/entry gate opener interface or a Concept 100, 300, 400 or

600 on your other vehicle.

TO ARM OR DISARM

SILENTLY, PRESS:

AND✱

By simultaneously pressing both the button and the ✱

button, you can arm or disarm with all the indications previously

noted except the chirp acknowledgments. Silent arming and

disarming is handy when parking late at night in a quiet

residential area.

TO REMOTELY

ENABLE OR EXIT

VALET MODE, PRESS:

AND ✱

By simultaneously pressing both the button and the✱

button, you can enable or exit your Concept 300’s valet mode (see

page 11 for details on valet mode). Two indicator light flashes

confirm remote enabled valet mode entry, a single flash confirms

valet mode exit. If you prefer, you may turn off remote controlled

valet mode as noted in the User-selectable features section on pages

18-19 so that the system cannot be placed in valet mode via the

remote control.

TO REMOTELY

VENT OR OPEN THE

WINDOWS, PRESS:

AND

If you have the SmartWindows 4 option, simultaneously pressing

both the and button will fully open the power windows

if the system is disarmed. If the system is in its armed state when

you press this button combination, SmartWindows 4 will vent the

windows slightly for ventilation on hot days. Please note that a

SmartWindows 4 module will control two power windows,

additional modules may be added to control additional windows.

SmartWindows 4 is not compatible with some vehicles.

TO OVERRIDE THE

PROXIMITY

SENSOR, PRESS:

AND

Pressing buttons and within 10 seconds of arming will

override your Concept 300 system’s Proximity Sensor III.

Confirmation of this remote controlled sensor override is

acknowledged with 4 flashes of the indicator lights (see Remote

controlled override of the Proximity Sensor III on page 13).

ACG 2™ (Anti-CodeGrabbing 2™)

ACG 2 protects you and your automobile from the most effective and onerous car

stealing device ever used by car thieves — a code-grabber. 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 simply plays back the code when you’re gone, instantly disarming the alarm

and unlocking the doors. It’s like leaving your keys and remote on the bonnet.

Many 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, Clifford Concept Series systems use 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 recorded and played back by the thief’s code-grabber — even the latest

generation smart code-grabbers— will never be accepted by your Concept 300 system.

REV B UPDATE PAGE: ONLY PAGES 6, 7, 12 and

the back cover change, all other pages same as REV A.

Adding new remote controls

For other drivers of the vehicle in your family, you can purchase additional remote

controls from any Clifford Dealer (or ring our UK Customer Service Department on

0800 929949 or 0181 646 8440) and program them into your Concept 300 system

yourself.

Each Concept 300 will respond to as many as four Concept 100, 300, 400, 600 type

remote controls.

NOTE: Your Concept 300 will respond only to Concept 100, 300, 400 and 600

type ACG 2 remote controls. Older Clifford ACG and non-ACG remote

controls are not compatible with the Concept 300.

To add a new remote control to the system, use the Add new remote feature (column 1,

row 1) of the User-selectable features on pages 18-19.

You may also assign unused buttons and/or button combinations from the remote

controls of other Concept 100, 300, 400 and 600 systems to your Concept 300 as noted

in column 4 of the User-selectable featureson pages 18-19.

How to erase the codes of lost or stolen remote controls

If one of your remotes is ever lost or stolen, you can erase it from the memory to make

sure that the missing remote control can never again be used to disarm your system.

To do so, you will use theClear All Remotes feature noted on the Table of User-Selectable

Features (feature column 2, row 6) on page 19. ThisClear All Remotesfeature will erase

all remote controls from the Concept 300 memory. Then simply reprogram each

remaining and/or replacement remote control as noted in the Adding new remote controls

section above.

Automatic remote control low-battery warning

If your remote control battery is very low, you will hear an unusually low-pitched chirp

whenever you remotely disarm rather than the chirp that you normally hear. Your

Concept 300 system will continue to sound this low-pitched chirp warning every time

you disarm until you replace the battery.

Since this is a warning indication, you will hear this low-battery warning even if you use

the and ✱button combination silent disarming feature (see page 6 & 7).

Remote control battery replacement

Replacement of a remote control battery is simple, but any Authorised Clifford Dealer

will be happy to do it for you without cost provided that you buy the replacement battery

at their shop (it’s a good idea to keep a spare of each battery type in your glove box just

in case).

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.

Two-Point Internal AutoImmobilisation

Whilst armed, your Concept 300 assures your vehicle is immobilised by automatically

locking out both the ignition and starter. The system’s dual internal immobilisation

circuits ensure that a thief will not be able to start your vehicle’s engine even if he had a

duplicate of your car key. What’s more, even if he were to find the system control unit

and tear it out of your vehicle, he still would be unable to start your car’s engine!

However, unlike AutoArming described on page 10, AutoImmobilisation occurs 30

seconds after you turn off the ignition regardless of whether you open or close any doors.

What’s more, disabling the AutoArming feature has no effect on AutoImmobilisation.

When you remotely disarm your Concept 300 system, the AutoImmobilisation circuits

automatically disengage. You then have 30 seconds to start the engine (or turn the

ignition switch to its “ON” position). If more than 30 seconds pass, the immobiliser will

automatically reactivate. This will be visually indicated by the LED repeatedly flashing,

but at a slower rate than that of the normal rapid “armed” indication flash rate.

To disarm the AutoImmobiliser, use the remote control to arm and then

disarmthesystem,orturnonthe ignition and pressbutton onthe remote

control.

Optional Wireless FuelGuard Module™

Our ingenious optional Wireless FuelGuard Module makes your vehicle undrivable by

interrupting the fuel delivery system whilst the system is armed, and it can’t be defeated

even by the most sophisticated thief.

Why not? Because this unique Clifford innovation unfailingly provides reliable fuel pump

obstruction without any wires connecting it to the system control unit. That means that

a thief would not be able to find the Wireless FuelGuard Module even if he tried locating

and tracing the system wires, since there are no wires for him to trace! Operation is

completely automatic and user-transparent.

If you have had the optional Wireless FuelGuard Module installed, make

sure to keep the record your Clifford installer provides as to the Wireless

FuelGuard Module location in case your vehicle needs future servicing.

Engine Restart Feature

Thirty seconds after shutting down the engine, the Two-Point AutoImmobilisation

electronics (and the Wireless FuelGuard Module, if you have this option) will engage,

preventing engine starting. To restart the engine, simply do the following:

1. Turn your ignition switch to the “ON” position.

2.Press button on the remote control. This will disengage the immobilisation.

3.You may now start the engine.

Smart boot release option

If the optional remote boot release feature was installed, you may use the button on

the remote control to release the boot latch. Your system has a built-in electronic interlock to

preventunintentional activation of the remote boot release when you drive, or when the

system is armed. This interlock requires installer programming, so if you have remote

boot release, you may want to verify that it will NOT activate whilst the system is armed.

False Alarm Prevention & FACT™

With Clifford’s patented FACT (False Alarm Control and Test) feature, you’ll never

experience repeated false alarms. If the siren sounds, DO NOT remotely disarm the

system; allow it to run for the full 30-second siren duration.

Before sounding the siren a second time, your Concept 300 system will automatically

check for another activated sensor or trigger to verify that an intrusion is in progress.

Should the siren sound again, you will know for sure that someone is tampering with

your vehicle. (If you wish, you may turn off FACT, see User-selectable features on pages

18-19.)

AutoLock and AutoUnLock

Please note: The AutoLock and AutoUnLock features are not available on

some vehicles, such as Volkswagen and Audi.

For safety, the system will automatically lock your vehicle’s power door locks the instant

you turn on the ignition switch (e.g., when starting the engine). When you turn the

ignition switch off (e.g., when shutting down the engine), the AutoUnLock feature will

automatically unlock the doors. To suit your preferences, you may turn on or off either or

both the AutoLock and/or AutoUnLock features (seeUser-selectable featureson pages

18-19).

AutoArming™

If this AutoArming feature is enabled and you forget to arm your Concept 300 with its

remote control, the system will automatically arm itself 30 seconds after the vehicle

doors are closed and the interior light(s) have turned off.

For your convenience, if you re-open any door(s) within the 30-second countdown,

AutoArming restarts the 30-second delay from the beginning after all doors are closed.

Concept 300 has these additional AutoArming features:

nAutoArming enable/disable: If you prefer, you may deactivate or reactivate the

AutoArming feature. SeeUser-selectable featureson pages 18-19.

nVisual acknowledgment: Five seconds after you shut off the engine,exit the vehicle,

close all the doors and the interior light has turned off, the indicator lights will flash

twice to confirm the AutoArming countdown is progressing; 25 seconds later, the

system will AutoArm.

nLock upon AutoArming: To ensure you can’t accidentally lock your keys inside the

car, the system is factory-set notto lock the doors upon AutoArming. To change this

setting, see User-selectable features on pages 18-19.

nInstant AutoArming bypass:Prevents AutoArming when fuelling the vehicle and at

other times when you wish to temporarily bypass the AutoArming feature. To activate

the Instant AutoArming Bypass, rapidly turn the ignition switch to “ON” then “OFF.”

You will hear a single siren chirp to confirm that the system will not AutoArm. Your

Concept 300 system will automatically revert to its normal operating mode when you

next start the engine.
