In fact, Clifford Electronics holds more patents than all other vehicle security manufacturers combined.
Built-in vehicle recovery/anti-carjacking circuitry Concept 60’s built-in BlackJax circuitry provides a safe and effective means of recovering your vehicle after a theft or carjacking. VERY IMPORTANT: The factory setting for the anti-carjacking feature is OFF. Once you are familiar with the following, we suggest you turn this feature ON (see pages 21-25).
IMPORTANT: What you MUST do to drive your car If you have the anti-carjacking feature turned on, until you set your own disarming code, you will use the factory-set code: the single digit “2.” To drive your car, do the following: 1. Start the engine, then press the brake pedal, then enter the factory-set code via the rocker switch mounted on the dashboard or console (you may do this while driving): a.
Enable/disable anti-carjacking You may enable or disable the anti-carjacking feature (see User-selectable features on pages 21-25) or temporarily override it via UltraSecure Coded Valet Mode (see page 15). What to do in a carjacking situation In a carjacking situation, the sooner you are out of the car the better. Don’t resist or take anything with you, just get out and get away. The instant the car door is opened, your Concept 60 takes charge.
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.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM . . . . . . . Press button 1 (channel 1) once. You will hear two chirps and the parking lights will flash twice. The dashboard LED will flash repeatedly and the car doors will automatically lock. TO DISARM THE SYSTEM . . . . . . . Press button 1 (channel 1) again. One chirp and one parking light flash confirms disarming. In addition, the doors will automatically unlock and the interior lights will turn on and stay on for 30 seconds or until you start the engine, whichever occurs first.
How to interpret the chirps and parking light flashes When you use the remote control, the system responds with chirps (unless the chirp muting feature is turned on) and parking light flashes. These chirp/flash acknowledgments mean: Chirps and flashes Meaning 1 Your system is disarmed or you have remotely exited valet mode (see page 16) 2 Your system is armed or you have remotely engaged valet mode (see page 16) 2 and then 4 Armed but there is a door open (if there was a 5-sec.
Enhanced AutoArming™ If this feature is enabled and you forget to remotely arm, the system will automatically arm itself 30 seconds after the vehicle doors are closed. For your convenience, if you re-open any door(s) within the 30-second countdown, AutoArming will restart from the beginning once all doors are closed. Concept 60 has these additional AutoArming features: AutoArming enable/disable: If you prefer, you may deactivate or reactivate the AutoArming feature.
To exit valet mode 1. Turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position or start the engine (you may also perform the following while driving). 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. Remote controlled valet mode entry and exit You can even enable or exit valet mode with your remote control simply by transmitting channel 9 (LevelShift twice, then button 1).
Remote controlled sensor adjustments Due to ever-changing conditions, all alarms require periodic fine-tuning of their sensors. With other alarms, this requires repeated trips back to the dealer. Not so with Concept 60.
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, then, 5 seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes. (This door ajar warning will not work on vehicles that have factory-delayed courtesy lights).
Multiple-event TotalRecall™ The system’s memory records the identity of the last eight activated or malfunctioning triggers and sensors, which allows your installer to instantly track down malfunctions. To identify the triggers and sensors held in the system’s memory, use the following procedure: 1. With the ignition OFF, flick the PlainView valet switch to its latched side. 2. Press button I to “arm” the system, then again to “disarm.” 3.
High-output MultiSound Medallion™ Siren All the siren electronics are in the system control unit rather than the siren itself. This protects them from heat, dirt and exposure to the elements (other alarm companies’ sirens are far more susceptible to failure). Your Concept 60 also provides these additional features: Personalized Siren Sounds: Most alarm sirens have a single “warble” tone.
User-selectable features Your Concept 60 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.
EXAMPLE 1: Turn off siren sound number 2: You can turn each of the siren’s six different sound patterns on and off as you wish to create you own custom sound (see the Personalized Siren Sounds section on page 20 for more information) To turn off “Sound 2” you’ll note that “Sound 2” is in column 1, row 2 of the Table (on pages 24-25). The “on” in bold type indicates the factory setting. The following example will turn that one sound off: 1.
5. To exit the program mode, turn the ignition off. You’ll hear 3 chirps to confirm program mode exit. You just made three programming changes in only five steps. Easy, isn’t it? Notice again that in step 3 on the previous page you did not have to re-select column 1. If you don’t touch the switch, the system stays in the column for 10 seconds to allow you to select any other feature(s) in the same column without having to re-enter the column number. Of course, you can select a new column at any time.
Table of user-selectable features: 1 chirp = OFF, two chirps = ON.
