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 (up to 300 feet
with the optional ElectroLoop Antenna). A weak remote control battery will reduce
range. Electrical interference and even sunspots can interrupt the signal from your
remote to the system. If this happens, repeatedly press the button (this works better than
holding the button down). The 4-button/12-channel remote control is the key to your
IntelliVoice-IQ. It incorporates Clifford’s Anti- CodeGrabbing™ (ACG) technology for
the ultimate protection against “code-grabbing” devices (see page 10). 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, override one or both
sensor zones and command options such as a remote trunk release, headlight activation,
power window operation, 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 control, 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 10, press the LevelShift button
twice, then press button 2. 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).
