For a list of included accessories, please refer to the What Is Included section of this manual.
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.
Button warning! Operation of the remote start module if the the vehicle starts in gear is contrary to its intended mode of operation. Operating the remote start system under these conditions may result in property damage or personal injury. Immediately cease the use of the unit and repair or disconnect the installed remote start module. Clifford will not be held responsible or pay for installation or reinstallation costs. Remote start is controlled by this button.

If your transmitter has been custom configured, the icons on your transmitter buttons may not correspond to the indicated functions. arming with transmitter You can activate, or arm, the system by pressing on your trans- mitter for one second. When the system arms, you will hear two short siren sounds, or chirps, and see the parking lights flash twice.
ally armed at that point. The system arms and the doors lock (if connected and programmed for passive locking) at 30 seconds, but the siren will not chirp. The early chirps provide you with a 25-second warning prior to arming. note: If any protected entry point (a door or a switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will not passively arm. Additionally, each time a protected entry is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
disarming without a transmitter This feature allows you to disarm the system without the transmitter should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order to disarm without a transmitter, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key, know where the PlainView 2 Valet switch is located, and have the PIN code. Be sure to check with the installer for the location of the PlainView 2 Valet switch. Please refer to the Disarm/Valet Mode section of this guide for instructions to enter the pin code.
transmitter sensor disable To temporarily disable a sensor input, arm the system, press twice and then . The lights will flash four times and all sensor warn away ones are bypassed. Press the buttons again; the lights flash four times and both warn away and full trigger sensor zones are bypassed until the system is disarmed. This can be performed anytime the system is armed. 1. Arm the system. 2. Press 3. The lights will flash four times; all warn away zones are now bypassed. 4.

ly until the system is armed/disarmed using the transmitter or the ignition is turned on. For more information, please refer to the Table of Zones section of this guide. false alarm control technology (FACT II) II, Your system offers FACT a feature that prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to a faulty sensor or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc. Here’s how it works: The alarm triggers three times.
select siren sounds To customize siren sounds, please refer to the selectable siren sounds feature in the User Selectable Features grid. Once in programming mode, press on the transmitter to begin playback of the avail- able sounds. Press on the PlainView 2 Valet switch while playing the desired sound to add that sound; press while playing the desired sound to delete that sound. note: Additional tones can be accessed through the CliffNet Wizard.
The security system will ignore the input that was active when the system was armed, until the input goes away. Three seconds later the system will monitor that input normally. 1. If a door is open the siren will chirp 4 times – 5 seconds after the arming chirps. 2. If a sensor is active the siren will chirp 4 times – 10 seconds after the arming chirps. disarming diagnostics Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert. If three chirps are heard when disarming, the system was triggered in your absence.
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.
high frequency Your system transmits and receives at 433 MHz. This provides a cleaner spectrum with less interference and a more stable signal. 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.
power saver mode Your system will automatically enter Power Saver Mode while armed or in Valet Mode, after a period of time in which no operation has been performed. This lowers the current draw on the vehicle's battery and prevents the system from draining the battery. Power Saver Mode takes over under the following conditions: 20 z Power Saver when the system is armed: After the system has been armed for 48 hours, the LED will flash at half its normal rate, decreasing the system's current draw.
programming 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 95/98/2000/ME/XP/NT so most programming operations can be accomplished by pointing and clicking with a mouse.
