Standard Features of the IntelliGuard 8OO-IQ
✔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 card for details).
✔FACT™—False Alarm Control and Test — One of many patented Clifford
innovations, FACT absolutely, positively puts an end to recurring false alarms.
✔A Pair of 4-Button/12-Channel Remote Controls —Fingertip command from a
typical range of 100 feet. One of the remote controls has a gun-metal gray
finish, the other has a gorgeous laminated burlwood case.
✔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 is a new device that lets a thief record and capture off the air
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 completely useless, because each time you
press the button on your remote control a different random code is
transmitted, yet the system will flawlessly recognize 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, you can, with just a fingertip touch on your remote
control, sound the siren, flash the parking 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.
✔UltraSecure Coded Valet Mode™ — Ensures that no thief can turn off your
IntelliGuard 800-IQ like they can all other brands of alarms.
Remote Controlled Valet Mode Entry and Exit — With just a press of a button
from up to 100 feet away, you can enter or exit valet mode.
✔Remotely Adjustable Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor™— With just a touch on
the remote, you may, at any time or place, adjust and test the sensitivity of
this microprocessor-controlled passenger compartment sensor. The two sensor
zones provide full perimeter protection: If someone is lurking near your car,
the system will sound a one-second warning tone. But if a thief actually reaches
into the passenger compartment, the system will instantly blast the siren.

Standard Features of the IntelliGuard 8OO-IQ (cont.)
Tonal Confirmation of Sensor Adjustments As you remotely increase sensitivity,
the confirming chirps rise in pitch. Conversely, as you lower each zone’s
sensitivity, the confirmation chirps become lower and lower in pitch.
Unprecedented Reliability — There are no moving mechanical parts to wear out
and the entire electronic circuitry resides in the passenger compartment.
Adjust and Test Unobtrusively — Set and test sensitivity without activating the alarm!
✔Remote Override of Each Sensor Zone—A press of a button on your remote
control will override the Proximity Sensor’s outer warning zone when you must
park in an area with heavy pedestrian traffic. Another press overrides both zones if
you need to leave a passenger or pet in your vehicle.
✔Dual-Mode “Chirp” Silencing—Whenever you remotely arm or disarm, the
siren “chirps” and the parking lights flash to confirm system status. Whenever
you wish, you may silence the chirps with either of these two methods:
Remote Controlled Chirp Muting — Just a press of remote control button 3 will arm
and disarm silently. It’s perfect when parking at night in a quiet residential area.
Long-Term Chirp Silencing —A few flicks of a switch silences the chirps until you
choose to reactivate them.
✔Remote Door Locking/Unlocking with Built-in Relays — No more fumbling with
keys in the dark! A press of a button on the remote simultaneously arms the
system and locks your car’s power door locks. Another press disarms and unlocks.
User-Selectable AutoLock™ — Automatically locks the doors the instant you turn
on the ignition to start the engine.
AutoUnLock — Automatically unlocks the doors when you turn off the engine.
Deluxe Remote Keyless Entry in Valet Mode — Use your remote control to lock
and unlock the car doors even while the system is in valet mode.
✔Remote Window/Sunroof Closure Capability — On certain vehicles, the
integrated timer and an optional relay can be used to automatically close the
power windows and sunroof every time you remotely arm your system.
✔Remote Headlight Activation Capability — Remotely turn on the headlights
to illuminate your way to and from your vehicle.
✔User-Selectable Headlight Reminder — Warns you if you forget to turn off
the headlights after you park your vehicle. If your vehicle already has this
feature, you may turn off IntelliGuard 800-IQ’s Headlight Reminder.
✔QuietChirp™— Whenever you desire, you may choose to lower the decibel
volume of the arm and disarm chirps to a level that is clearly audible but less
obtrusive than the full-volume chirps. All it takes is a few flicks of a switch.

Standard Features of the IntelliGuard 8OO-IQ (cont.)
✔Built-In Parking Light Flasher —Visually confirms door lock and system status.
✔Remote Controlled Courtesy Lighting —For your personal safety and
convenience, when you remotely disarm, the interior lights turn on and stay
on until you start the engine or 30 seconds, whichever occurs first.
✔Patented Smart AutoTesting™—Automatically tests all triggers and sensors
every time you remotely arm and warns you if you accidentally arm the
system with the hood or trunk open. If there is a genuine trigger or sensor
malfunction, the system will specifically identify the problem, thereby
eliminating time-consuming and costly trouble-shooting.
✔Patented Malfunction AutoBypass™ with Automatic Monitoring —In the
unlikely event of a trigger or sensor malfunction, your IntelliGuard 800-IQ
will automatically bypass the malfunction and arm all other points to
continue relentless protection of your vehicle. If you simply left the hood,
trunk or a door open when you armed, just close it and the system will again
monitor that trigger point.
✔Eight-Event TotalRecall™—The IntelliGuard 800-IQ’s memory stores the
identity of the last eight triggers and/or sensors activated. This provides an
invaluable diagnostic means, since, whenever you wish, the system will
visually identify the activated triggers and sensors in reverse chronological
order.
✔Patented Smart Prior Intrusion Attempt Alert — When you return to your
vehicle and remotely disarm your IntelliGuard 800-IQ, a special chirp and
parking light flash sequence will audibly and visually alert you from a distance if
an intrusion attempt was foiled while you were away. IntelliGuard 800-IQ
systems even identify the specific trigger or sensor that detected the intrusion
attempt.
✔Fault-Proof Starter Interrupt™—Prevents an intruder from cranking the
starter while the IntelliGuard 800-IQ is armed. Fault-proof design ensures
that you can start the engine even in the unlikely event of a malfunction.
✔Dual-Port Immobilizer Capability—With the addition of an optional relay,
you can add yet another layer of protection to the Fault-Proof Starter
Interrupt that will immobilize the entire ignition and fuel systems. For
unmatched security, even if a thief were to cut all the alarm wires, he would
still be unable to start the engine.

Standard Features of the IntelliGuard 8OO-IQ (cont.)
✔User-Programmable MultiSound Medallion™ Siren — The IntelliGuard
800-IQ’s innovative MultiSound Medallion siren integrates creative form and
engineering triumphs. Designed entirely by Clifford engineers, there’s no
other siren like it. The remarkable Clifford MultiSound Medallion Siren is far
superior in its performance, features, reliability and even aesthetics to all
other manufacturer’s look-alike, sound-alike generic sirens.
Personalized Siren Sounds™ —Your choice of up to 64 distinct sound patterns for
unmistakable recognition from a distance.
Ultra-Reliability — Since sirens are installed in the engine compartment, they’re
continually exposed to an unforgiving environment of extreme temperatures,
vibrations, dirt, dust and water, which may cause the siren’s electronics to fail.
But the entire electronic circuitry of the IntelliGuard 800-IQ siren and all of its
components have been designed into the underdash control unit. Consequently,
the electronic circuitry is sheltered from the harsh environment and is no longer
the weakest link of the alarm system. In fact, the calculated mean time between
failure (MTBF) of the IntelliGuard MultiSound Medallion Siren is 10 times better
than that of conventional sirens.
User-Selectable Siren Duration — You may set the siren wail for your choice of
either 30 or 60 seconds.
Patented Automatic Noise Abatement — IntelliGuard 800-IQ siren electronics
limit alarm sounding to five siren duration cycles even if a door is left open in the
wake of an intrusion attempt. This ensures against battery drain or towing of your
vehicle due to noise pollution. The system then automatically resets and re-arms
all other points to continue to provide the utmost possible protection.
✔Enhanced User-Selectable AutoArming™— Arms itself “passively” if you
forget. May qualify you for an insurance discount that could pay for the
system.
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.
Visual Indication — Two parking lights flashes signal that the 30-second
countdown to AutoArming has started.
15-Second Entry Delay — If you ever temporarily lose the use of your remote
controls, an entry delay allows you to enter the vehicle and disarm the system
without sounding the siren.
Instant AutoArm Bypass — Just a quick turn of the ignition switch bypasses
AutoArming for one cycle — perfect when fueling the vehicle. AutoArming is
automatically restored the next time you park the car.

Standard Features of the IntelliGuard 8OO-IQ (cont.)
✔Smart Remote Trunk Release Capability — An electronic interlock assures
the optional remote trunk release can be activated only when disarmed. To
further prevent any possibility of unintentional opening of the trunk, the
interlock also makes sure the trunk release cannot be remotely activated
while driving.
✔Advanced CMOS Microcomputer —Very large scale integration (VLSI)
microprocessor commands and monitors all system functions more than
1,000,000 times per second, yet it draws less power than the vehicle’s clock,
so it won’t deplete your car battery like other alarms.
✔Extended Range Capability— The optional ElectroLoop Antenna mounts
unobtrusively inside your vehicle to triple the system’s remote control range!
✔Patented Remote Control Code Learning — Just a few flicks of a switch
lets you match to the system up to 4 different 12-channel Clifford remote
controls. Just as easily, a lost or stolen remote control can be deleted from the
system memory.
✔High-Luminescence LED Status Indicator with Automatic Battery-Saving
Mode — Adds visual deterrence and identifies system status. To conserve
vehicle battery power, if the system has remained continuously armed for 48
hours, the flash rate automatically slows to half the normal rate. If left
continuously armed for 96 hours, the blink rate slows to one-quarter normal.
✔Multiple-Car Control— You may use the same remote to control up to seven
different vehicles.
✔Control Unit with 5 Channels— For remote system operation and accessories.
✔Multiple Sensor/Trigger Inputs— Separate inputs for two sensors as well as
separate inputs for the doors, trunk and hood allow for a higher level of
security and precise trigger/sensor identification.
✔Patented SmartPowerUp™ II — When power to the system is disconnected,
its 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 immobilizing the car.
✔Full-Time Programming Access— You can easily change the status of 30
user-selectable features at any time, even while driving. Clear, audible signals
confirm each feature selection and setting.

Clifford has always meant buying the best, and nowhere is our commitment
to technological innovation, reliability and quality more evident than in the
astounding IntelliGuard 800-IQ.
Your IntelliGuard 800-IQ is loaded with protective features and lifestyle
convenience benefits that other car alarm companies don’t even have on their
wish lists, let alone their alarms. Features like Anti-CodeGrabbing™ that
fights off the latest and most onerous threat from high-tech thieves. A thief
equipped with a code-grabber can record with total impunity the codes of
your car alarm’s remote control from up to several hundred feet away. How?
The thief simply waits for you to arm or disarm your alarm with your remote
control. The thief’s portable, pocket-sized code-grabber will automatically
pick and record the transmitted code off the air. As soon as you walk away,
he simply plays it back, instantly disarming your alarm and unlocking the
doors. It’s like giving the thief your car keys. Code-grabbing will instantly
defeat all other brands of remote controlled car alarms, regardless of whether
they are equipped with anti-scanning or trillions of digital codes.
IntelliGuard 800-IQ’s unique PlainView Coded Valet Switch ensures that no
thief or joy-rider can turn off your IntelliGuard 800-IQ like they can with all
other car alarm brands. For total freedom from incorrectly adjusted sensors,
there’s remote controlled adjustment of the system’s dual-zone radar sensor
that allows you to set the desired sensitivity levels any time or place with
just a touch of a button on your remote control. Plus there’s remote
controlled valet mode, remote controlled sensor zone override, an electronic
interlock to prevent accidental activation of the optional remote trunk
release, optional headlight activation, user-programmable MultiSound
Medallion™ Siren with 64 distinctly different siren sound combinations sets
your alarm apart from all others, smart automatic locking/unlocking if you
ever “panic” the system, full-time programming access (even while driving),
and much, much more.
Yet despite all the sophistication, the IntelliGuard 800-IQ is amazingly easy
to use: never more difficult than a few flicks of a switch or a press of a
button on one of your miniature keychain remote controls.
