Clifford IntellVoice 4 Technical manual

IntelliVoice 4 Operation Instructions
Congratulations on your purchase of the Clifford IntelliVoice 4, a G4 system accessory.
Your Clifford G4 vehicle security system is IntelliVoice 4 ready and will automatically
provide the following human voice synthesis features.
Arming
When you arm your Clifford G4 vehicle security system with its remote control, IntelliVoice 4
will announce “ARMED” instead of the usual siren double-chirp confirmation.
Disarming
When you remotely disarm, IntelliVoice 4 will announce “DISARMED”instead of the usual
single-chirp confirmation.
Full perimeter protection
If someone brings his hands and face to the window to see what is inside your vehicle, a verbal
warning will sound: “ALARM WILL SOUND IF YOU DON’T BACK AWAY!” If the
person continues to linger near your vehicle,IntelliVoice 4 will issue a second warning:
“LAST WARNING! ALARM WILL SOUND IF YOU DON’T BACK AWAY!”
Immediate alarm sounding
If someone actually leans into the passenger compartment, the verbal warnings are bypassed
and the full alarm sounds immediately.
Silencing voice acknowledgments and warnings
You may use your G4 system’s chirp muting feature to silence the “ARMED” and
“DISARMED”announcements. The warning messages will not be effected.
If you wish to switch from the voice synthesis to your G4 system’s standard siren chirps and
sounds, you may do so using the remote control button combination noted in your G4
system’s user’s manual. IntelliVoice 4 will issue a door-bell-like acknowledgment when you do
so. Repeating the remote control button combination restores IntelliVoice 4 to normal
operation (confirmed with two door-bell-like chimes).
Automatic remote control low-battery warning
If your remote control battery is low, you’ll hear a low-pitched chirp when you disarm instead of
the “DISARMED” acknowledgment. Replacement remote control batteries are available from
any Authorized Clifford Dealer.
Chime upon remote arming
If the door-bell-like chime sounds immediately after you arm, IntelliVoice 4 is warning you
that the hood or trunk is open. If the chime sounds 5-10 seconds after the “ARMED”
acknowledgment, a sensor is active.
Verbal diagnostic
If you receive the chime upon arming, disarm, enter the vehicle and turn on the ignition.
IntelliVoice 4 will verbally name the trigger or sensor that was active when you armed.

Chime upon remote disarming
If the chime sounds after you disarm, IntelliVoice 4 is alerting you that there was an intrusion
attempt made on your vehicle while you were away
Verbal identification
If you receive the chime upon disarming, IntelliVoice 4 will verbally name the trigger or
sensor that was tripped while you were away when you turn on the ignition.
About the Digital Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor 4
The Digital Dual-Zone Proximity Sensor 4 is a radar sensor that detects movement both
inside the passenger compartment and several inches to a foot outside the windows and
soft-top (if you have a convertible). IntelliVoice 4 uses this sensor (whether it was standard
on your particular G4 system or was added as an option) to detect such movement. The
sensor’s radar waves pass through nonmetallic materials like plastic, carpet, glass and wood.
However, metal and metallic paint, plastic and even some metallic window tinting materials
will interfere with or completely block the radar waves. As such, it is not unusual that the
Proximity Sensor zones may need a little readjustment when you first have the system
installed. In some instances, your Clifford installer may need to try a different location for the
sensor.
If needed, you or your installing Clifford Dealer can adjust sensitivity of these sensor zones as
noted in your owner’s manual. To prevent falsing, system sensors are bypassed when the
engine is remotely started (if you have the IntelliStart 4 option).
Metal above or near the Proximity Sensor will have a significant impact on
operation. You should not place coins, CDs, cassettes (due to the iron oxide
tape)orothermetallicobjectsaboveornearwherethesensorismounted.
CliffNet Wizard software
With the free CliffNet Wizard software and an optional #60-539 CliffNet Replicator, you can
plug your Windows PC into your Clifford system to gain extensive feature control: you can
select the language (English, Spanish, German or Dutch), set the volumes of the interior and
exterior voice, alter the pitch of the chirps, and make other interactive adjustments. See
www.clifford.com/wizard for details.
