Your 4-button/12-channel remote controls
The 4-button/12-channel remote controls (one with a gun-metal gray case, the other with
a burlwood finish) 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 remote
control is the key to your IntelliGuard 800-IQ. It incorporates Clifford’s Anti-CodeGrabbing
(ACG) technology for the ultimate protection against “code-grabbing” devices (see page
12). 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).
