Standard Features of the Eagle II
✔Lifetime Warranty — For as long as you own the vehicle, Clifford will
repair or replace the control unit and remote controls free of charge (see
warranty card for full details).
✔FACT — False Alarm Control and Test — One of many patented Clifford
innovations, FACT absolutely, positively ends recurring false alarms.
✔A Pair of 4-Button/12-Channel Remote Controls —For fingertip command
from a distance.
✔AntiScan — Some car thieves still use “scanners” that transmit one digital
code after another until they hit the one code that disarms the alarm.
AntiScan blocks scanners to prevent disarming by anyone other than you.
✔Anti-CodeGrabbing (ACG) with Random Code Encryption — A “code-
grabber” lets a thief record from a distance the digital code transmitted by
your remote control whenever you arm your car. When you leave, the thief
replays the code to disarm the alarm and unlock your car’s doors. ACG
with Random Code Encryption makes thieves’ code-grabbers useless,
because each time you press the button on your remote control a different
random code is transmitted, yet the system will flawlessly recognise and
respond to your transmitter’s new code and ignore all others.
✔Full-Time Remote Panic with Automatic Door Locking and Unlocking— If
you feel threatened, a fingertip touch on your remote control will sound
the siren, flash the indicator lights and unlock your vehicle’s power door
locks for quick entry into your car without fumbling with your keys. If
you press the panic button while driving, the siren will sound, the lights
will flash and the doors will lock to shield you from the assailant.
✔Dual-Mode Chirp Silencing — Your choice of either long-term chirp
silencing or remote controlled chirp muting whenever you wish.
✔Dual-Sensor Protection — A Piezo Sensor detects intrusion-related
vibrations and impacts, while a Proximity Sensor detects any movement
inside the passenger compartment.
✔Remote Controlled Valet Mode Entry and Exit— With just a press of a
button on your remote control, you can enter or exit valet mode. Indicator
light flashes visually confirm valet mode entry and exit.

Standard Features of the Eagle II (cont.)
✔Tamper-Proof Dual-Point AutoImmobilisation —While the Eagle II is
armed, the entire ignition and starter systems are immobilised. For
unmatched security, even if a thief were to cut all the alarm wires, he
would still be unable to start the engine.
✔Remote Door Lock/Unlock Capability — No more fumbling with keys in the
dark or bad weather! A press of a button on the remote simultaneously
arms your system and locks your vehicle’s power locks. Another press
disarms and unlocks.
User-Selectable AutoLock/AutoUnLock — Automatically locks the doors when
you start the engine, and automatically unlocks them when you turn it off.
Deluxe Remote Keyless Entry in Valet Mode — Remotely lock and unlock the
doors and activate system accessories even while the system is in valet mode.
✔Remote Controlled Courtesy Lighting — For your safety and convenience,
when you remotely disarm your Eagle II, the interior lights turn on and
stay on until you start the engine or for 30 seconds, whichever occurs first.
✔Built-In Indicator Light Flasher — Visually confirms lock and system status.
✔Patented AutoTesting — Automatically tests all system triggers and
sensors every time you remotely arm and warns you if you accidentally
arm your Eagle II system with the bonnet or boot open.
✔Patented Malfunction AutoBypass —In the unlikely event of a trigger or
sensor malfunction, Eagle II will automatically bypass the malfunction
and arm all other points to continue relentless protection of your vehicle.
✔Patented Prior Intrusion Attempt Alert — When you return to your vehicle
and remotely disarm your Eagle II, a special chirp and indicator light
flash sequence will audibly and visually alert you from a distance if an
intrusion attempt was foiled while you were away.
✔High-Output Six-Sound Siren — Loud siren wail with six different alarm
sound patterns for unmistakable recognition from a distance.
Patented Automatic Noise Abatement — Limits alarm sounding to no more
than 5 minutes even if a door is left open in the wake of an intrusion attempt.
Selectable Siren Duration — Your choice of either a 30- or 60-second siren
wail.

Standard Features of the Eagle II (cont.)
✔User-Selectable AutoArming— Automatically arms itself “passively” if
you forget to arm it with the remote control.
AutoArming Enable/Disable — You may disable or re-enable AutoArming
with just a few flicks of a switch.
AutoArm & Lock — You may set the system to automatically lock the doors
every time the system AutoArms.
Instant AutoArm Bypass — Just two quick turns of the ignition switch will
bypass AutoArming for one cycle — perfect when fueling the vehicle.
AutoArming is automatically restored the next time you park your vehicle.
✔Smart Remote Boot Release Capability — An electronic interlock assures
that the optional remote boot release can be activated only when the
system is disarmed. To further prevent any possibility of unintentional
opening of the boot, the interlock also makes sure that the boot release
cannot be remotely activated while driving.
✔Patented Remote Control Code Learning with MultiRemote Recognition —
Just a few flicks of a switch lets you match to the system up to 4 different
12-channel ACG Clifford remote controls. Just as easily, a lost or stolen
remote control can be deleted from the system memory.
✔Multiple-Car Control— You can interface your 4-button/12-channel
remote control with Eagle II systems on as many as ten of your vehicles.
✔Control Unit with 4 Channels— For remote controlled system operation
and remote control of optional accessories.
✔Bonnet/Boot Trigger Input— For full perimeter protection of the engine
compartment and boot contents (may require optional pin switches).
✔High-Luminescence LED Status Indicator — Adds visual deterrence and
identifies system status.
✔Patented SmartPowerUp II — When power to the system is disconnected,
the system’s non-volatile memory always remembers the last state
(armed, disarmed or valet mode) and returns to that state when power is
restored. So if a thief disconnects the power and then restores it in an
attempt to start the car, the system will re-arm and instantly sound the
siren while immobilising the vehicle.

Welcome to the world of high-technology
vehicle security and convenience
Congratulations on the purchase of your Eagle II. Clifford Electronics
has long been recognised as the world’s leading manufacturer of
high-technology vehicle security systems. Buying Clifford has always
meant buying the best. In fact, Clifford Electronics holds more patents than
all other vehicle security manufacturers combined. Yet despite all its
sophistication, you will find your Eagle II system amazingly easy to use:
never more difficult than a few flicks of a switch or a press of a button on
one of your keychain remote controls.
Your 4-button/12-channel remote controls
The 4-button/12-channel remote controls are ultra-sophisticated miniature radio
transmitters, each powered by a tiny 12-volt battery. A weak remote control battery
will reduce range. Electrical interference and even sunspots can interrupt the signal
from your remote control to the system. If this happens, repeatedly press the remote
control button (this works better than holding the button down). The
4-button/12-channel remote control is the key to your system. It incorporates
Clifford’s Anti-CodeGrabbing (ACG) technology for the ultimate protection against
“code-grabbing” devices (see page 13). 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 zones of the
Proximity Sensor, command options such as a remote boot release, timed headlight
activation, power window operation,
electric 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, 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:
continued . . .

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 flash 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 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 flashes twice, pauses, flashes 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 flashes three times, pauses, flashes 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).
What each button/channel does
Your Eagle II remote controls are pre-programmed so that certain channels command
certain functions. If you wish, you can assign any channel to any function (see
User-selectable features on pages 14-15).. The following chart indicates what each
remote control channel number does, and how to transmit each channel number.

from entering. If the ignition is off, the doors will unlock,
letting you to enter immediately without fumbling with your keys.
TO REMOTELY
OPEN THE BOOT. . . . Button 2 (channel 2) can control an accessory when the system is
disarmed, such as an optional remote boot release. Pressing
button 2 while the alarm is disarmed will remotely open the
boot. Transmitting channel 2 while the system is armed (or
while the ignition is on) will not activate the boot release. This
ensures that you can’t accidentally open the boot while driving
or false-alarm the system while it’s armed.

Anti-CodeGrabbing (ACG) with Random Code Encryption
ACG protects you and your automobile from the most effective and onerous car
stealing device ever used by car thieves — a code-grabber. Code-grabbers literally
record, from hundreds of meters away, the code sent by your car alarm remote
control. Then the thief simply plays back the code when you’re gone, instantly
disarming the alarm and unlocking the doors. Your Eagle II has Clifford
Electronics’ proprietary ACG technology, which uses complex proprietary digital
signal processing and unbreachable encryption to randomly change the digital code
every time you use the remote control. Your remote will never transmit the same
code twice, and the control unit will never accept the same code twice.
Clifford Electronics also offers an optional ACG interface (#64-128/ACG) to your
electric garage door/gate opener that not only allows you to command your garage
door and/or gate opener(s) via your Clifford remote control, but also protects your
garage and home from burglars with code-grabbers.
Tamper-proof dual-point AutoImmobilisation
While armed, the system assures that your vehicle is completely immobilised by
automatically locking out both the ignition system and the starter motor. That means
that a thief won’t be able to start the engine even if he had a duplicate of your car
key. In fact, even if he were to find the system control unit and tear it out of your
vehicle, he still would not be able to start your car’s engine!
Dual-sensor protection
Your Eagle II system has two sensors: An all-electronic Piezo Sensor that detects
intrusion-related vibrations and impacts as well as a Proximity Sensor passenger
compartment radar sensor that detects any movement inside the vehicle. Both the
Eagle II’s Piezo Sensor and the Proximity Sensor are impervious to the wind and
temperature variations that cause ultrasonic and electromechanical sensor to falsely
alarm.
AutoLock/AutoUnLock
For your safety and that of your passengers, the vehicle doors will automatically
lock the instant you turn on the ignition switch to start the engine. When you switch
off the ignition to shut down the engine, the AutoUnLock feature automatically
unlocks the doors. To suit your preferences, the AutoLock/AutoUnLock feature can
be disabled or re-enabled (see User-selectable features on pages 14-15).
