Main te nance

Your GP500 system requires no maintenance except for replacement of remote control batteries when they reach the end of their useful life. For further information on this, see the Automatic low battery warning and Remote

control battery replacement sections on page 13.

This product, like any electrical device on your motorcycle, requires that your motorcycle battery be in proper working order and fully charged. To ensure proper operation, periodically have your motorcycle battery

“load-checked” at any local garage/mechanic and ask them to verify that the charging system is working properly. Also make sure that the battery cables and connections are tight and free from corrosion.

ACG-2™ (Anti- CodeGrabbing 2™)

Clifford’s ACG-2 protects your motorcycle from thieves’ remote control

“cloning” devices that are used to record the disarming code transmitted from your remote.

Auto matic re mote con trol low- battery warn ing

If your remote control battery is very low, you will hear five rapid chirps when you disarm rather than the single chirp that you normally hear.

Re mote con trol bat tery re place ment

Any Authorized Clifford Dealer will be happy to replace a remote control battery for you without cost provided you purchase the replacement battery at their shop (it’s also a good idea to keep a spare battery on-hand 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.

3. Put the enclosure back together by first aligning the top of the remote, then snapping the case back together at the bottom.

GP500

Two- Point In ter nal Im mo bi li sa tion

Please be aware that the AutoArming feature has no effect on

Immobilisation. The system automatically immobilizes your vehicle’s starter and ignition 30 seconds after engine shutdown or when you arm with the remote control.

When you remotely disarm your GP500 system, the Immobilisation circuits will automatically disengage. You then have 30 seconds in which to start the engine (or turn the ignition switch to its “ON” position).

If more than 30 seconds pass, the immobilizer will automatically reactivate.

This will be visually indicated by the LED repeatedly flashing, but at a slower rate than that of the normal rapid “armed” indication flash rate.

To dis arm the Im mo bi lizer if it has armed itself, use the re mote con trol to arm and then disarm the system, or turn on the ignition and press button I on the remote control.

Us er’s Man ual/299

AutoArming™

If this feature is enabled and you forget to remotely arm. After 30 seconds pass, the system is automatically armed. In instances where you want to bypass AutoArming, such as when fueling the motorcycle, simply turn the ignition on and then off again after you have parked.

Digi tal Dual- Zone Tilt/Mo tion Sen sor

Clifford’s Digital Tilt/Motion Sensor detects one degree of tilting or any minute forward/reverse motion of the motorcycle while completely ignoring all other conditions that falsely set off other sensors. Even if you park your motorcycle on the steepest hill, it will accurately respond to the first hint of tampering.

The Digital/Tilt Motion Sensor will first provide a five chirp warning if the motorcycle tilts more than one degree. Once the motorcycle tilts more than two degrees, the full alarm will sound.

False Alarm Pre ven tion & FACT™

With Clifford’s patented FACT (False Alarm Control and Test) feature, you’ll never experience repeated false alarms. If the siren sounds, DO NOT remotely disarm the system; allow it to run for the full 30-second siren duration. Before sounding the siren a second time, the system automatically checks for another activated sensor or trigger. Should the siren sound again, you will know for sure that someone is tampering with your motorcycle. (If you wish, you may turn off FACT, see the Table of Programmable features on page 32.)

Auto matic Battery- Saving Mode

To conserve motorcycle battery power (the LED draws more current than the entire control unit), if the system has remained continuously armed for

24 hours, the flash rate will automatically slow to half the normal rate.

Us er’s Man ual/299

Smart Au toTest ing™

Each time you remotely arm the system, it tests all triggers and sensors. For example, if the Helmet Theft Prevention System is active, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and flashes, then, 5 seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes. If a sensor is malfunctioning, you will receive the usual 2 chirps and 2 flashes, then, 10 seconds later, there will be 4 chirps and 4 flashes.

Note that when you receive these indications that the system will still arm even though a trigger or sensor is malfunctioning.

NOTE: Since this is a warn ing in di ca tion, you will hear the 4 chirps even if you use the chirp muting feature.

n Specific malfunction identification: The system can also indicate the specific trigger or sensor that is malfunctioning. If you get the 4-chirp/4-flash signal upon arming, perform the following to identify the malfunctioning trigger or sensor:

1. Remotely disarm, then turn on the ignition. The LED status indicator will be flashing, pause, then repeat.

2. Count the number of flashes in one cy cle be tween pauses (for your con ven ience, the flash cy cle re peats a to tal of 5 times) and re fer to the fol low ing chart:

Smart prior in tru sion at tempt alert

If you hear three chirps when you remotely disarm, it means that a trigger or sensor was activated in your absence. When you turn on the ignition (or start the engine), the LED will flash 1-8 times, pause, then repeat the flash cycle 4 more times. Count the number of flashes in one cycle and refer to the chart on the previous page.

Eight- Event To tal Re call™

Your GP500 system’s memory records the identity of the last eight activated or malfunctioning triggers and sensors in reverse chronological order, which allows your installer to instantly track down malfunctions.

1. Remotely arm and disarm while pressing and holding the unmarked button on the PlainView 2 switch.

2. The LED will flash 1-8 times to indicate the most recently activated point, pause, flash 1-8 times to indicate the second most recently activated point, and so on.

3. Write down the number of flashes between pauses and refer to the chart on the previous page.

Smart Powe rUp™ 2

If power to the system is ever removed, SmartPowerUp 2 ensures that your

GP500 system automatically restores itself to its previous state when power is restored. So if a thief disconnects the power and then restores it in an attempt to start the motorcycle, the system will re-arm and instantly sound the siren while immobilising the motorcycle. If your motorcycle is to be serviced, just use the siren shutoff key to bypass the siren’s circuitry.

Self- Powered Si ren

This siren has its own built-in back-up battery, so even if a thief cuts all the wires, the siren will continue to wail. You may use the supplied keys to turn off the siren for servicing.

Plain View 2 Pro gram ming Switch

You can easily change the status of GP500’s numerous features at any time, even while the engine is running. The programming mode of Clifford systems require the entry of a secret PIN code The factory preset PIN code is “2.”
