transmitter functions This system uses computer-based code learning to learn the transmitter buttons. This makes it possible to assign any transmitter button to any system function. The transmitter initially comes programmed with standard configuration, but may also be customized using the CliffNet Wizard PC program. The buttons in all of the instructions in this manual correspond to a standard configuration transmitter.

mately once per second showing that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear more than two chirps when arming, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. These extra chirps confirm a malfunction autobypass. The security system also can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called passive arming).
disarming To disarm the system, press . You will hear a chirp and the park- ing lights will flash once. If the power locks are connected to the system, the doors will unlock. If the siren chirps three times when disarming, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This is called Tamper Alert. If the siren is active when the system is disarmed you will hear two chirps but the system is not disarmed. (Refer to the Remote Siren Silencing section of this guide.
resetting the system, press again to disarm the system. transmitter chirp muting To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use transmitter chirp muting. Simply press on the transmitter, and the confirmation chirp(s) will be eliminated for that one operation only. The parking lights will flash to confirm the arm/disarm command. If you want the arm/disarm chirps turned off permanently, please refer to the UserSelectable Features section of this guide.
intellistart and smartwindows sensor bypass When the system sees a command to start the vehicle via the Intellistart, it bypasses sensor zones and will continue to bypass these zones until the remote start shuts down. When the system sees a SmartWindows command for up or down operation, the unit will automatically bypass sensor zones one, two, three, and eight until the windows complete their operation. note: These are optional accessories that can be added to your system.
disarm/valet mode Entering your pin code using the PlainView 2 Valet switch allows you to disarm the system or enter valet mode without using the transmitter. In valet mode, the security system will not arm, even with the transmitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will continue to work normally. To disarm or enter Valet Mode: 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Enter PIN code (factory setting is 2). 3. After the last digit of the pin code is entered: a.
The operations described in this section refer to transmitter buttons. Remember, the buttons used in all the instructions in this guide correspond to a Standard Configuration transmitter. This may not be how your transmitter is set up. To enter Valet Mode, press twice then . The LED status indicator will light solid if you are entering Valet Mode, or will turn off if you are exiting Valet Mode. one-time auto-arming bypass This will bypass the auto arm feature once only. 1.
multiple event total recall This will report the last eight system triggers. 1. Press and hold of the PlainView 2 Valet switch. 2. While still holding release the button. 3. The LED will start to blink to indicate the most recent trigger and proceed down to the eighth trigger. If fewer than eight triggers are stored in memory, the LED will blink continuously until the system is armed/disarmed using the transmitter or the ignition is turned on.
ger ceases. FACT II is programmable. See the Programming Options section of this guide. note: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function! The only way to reset a bypassed zone is for 60 minutes or to turn on the ignition. If testing your system, it is important to remember that the FACT II programming can cause zones to be bypassed and appear to stop working. If you wish to clear the FACT II memory, turn the ignition key on.
diagnostics The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors that are connected to it. It detects any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence. arming diagnostics If the system is armed while an input is active (door open, sensor triggering, etc.

table of zones The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify a specific input. The standard input assignments are listed below, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches you have had installed. If the Warning Zone response is triggered, the LED will not report it.
smart power up II This security system will store its current state to non-volatile memory. If power is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in Valet Mode and the battery is disconnected for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit will still be in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system including arm, disarm, and Valet Mode.
programming options Programming options control what your system does during normal operation, and require few or no additional parts. However, some may require additional installation labor. Following is a list of the program settings, with the factory settings in bold: z Active arming (only with the transmitter) or passive arming (automatic arming 30-seconds after the last door is closed). z Arming/disarming confirmation siren chirps on or off.
explanation of how FACT II operates. If FACT II is programmed off, the security system will respond to inputs from any sensor indefinitely. note: Because many states have laws regulating security systems, programming FACT II off may cause your system to violate state laws. z Siren tones and chirp volume: The output of the siren consists of six different tones in sequence and the arm/disarm chirp volume can be changed or eliminated. z Reset the system to all factory defaults.
cliffnet wizard installation software programming Cliffnet Wizard provides access to all available system features and some that are not available when manually programming with the Valet switch. Cliffnet Wizard is compatible with Microsoft Windows 2000/ME/XP/NT so most programming operations can be accomplished by pointing and clicking with a mouse. This eliminates the need for programming grids and lengthy programming sequences.
5. Feature select - Press the same number of times as the desired feature. The siren will chirp with each press. The feature can now be changed using the remote control. 6. Feature change - Press on the transmitter. If the system chirps once, the feature has just turned off; if the system chips twice, the feature has just turned on. If the feature has more than two settings, continue pressing on the transmitter to toggle through the settings.
