ACG 2 (Anti- CodeGrabbing 2™)
ACG 2 protects you and your automobile from code-grabbing devices. 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 plays back the code when you’re gone, instantly disarming the alarm and unlocking the
doors. It’s like leaving your keys and remote in the door. Many non-Clifford 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, your
OmniStart uses 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 played back by the code-grabber — even the latest generation smart
code-grabbers — will never be accepted by your OmniStart system.
Auto matic re mote con trol low- battery warn ing
If your remote control battery is low, you’ll hear a rapid 5-beep sequence when you disarm instead
of the usual one beep. Replacement batteries are available from any Authorized Clifford Dealer.
NOTE: If the remote battery is dead, or if you lose the remotes, turn
your ignition key on and off 5 times. The parking lights will stop
blinking and you may then drive the vehicle.
Re mote con trol bat tery re place ment
Replacement of a remote control battery is fairly easy, but any Authorized Clifford Dealer will
be happy to do it for you without cost provided that you buy the replacement battery at their
shop (it’s also a good idea to keep a spare of each battery 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.
Eras ing a lost or sto len re mote con trol
If one of your remotes is ever lost or stolen, you or your installing Authorized Clifford Dealer can
use the CliffNet Wizard software to remove it from the system memory. This ensures that the
missing remote can never again be used to control your system.
Add ing new re mote con trols
For other drivers, or to control Clifford G4 systems on your other cars with the same remote,
you can buy additional remote controls from any Clifford Dealer (or direct from the Customer
Service Department of your nearest Clifford Headquarters listed on the front cover) and add
them yourself. Your system will respond to as many as four remote controls.
NOTE: Clifford G4 systems will re spond only to G4-type ACG 2
re mote con trols. Older Clif ford ACG and non- ACG re mote con trols
are not com pati ble with G4 systems.
To add a new remote control, insert your car key and turn the ignition switch on/off 5 times
(there will be a 3-beep/3-parking-light-flash confirmation) then immediately press button
of the new remote control. You will hear a beep when you do so. Press the
button
again, you will hear 2 beeps to confirm that the new remote has been added. Or use the
CliffNet Wizard software to individually assign buttons.
