Ma inte na nce
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-Cod e Gra b b ing 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.
Automa tic re mote control low-b a ttery wa rning
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 control b a ttery rep la ce me nt
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.

Two-Point Inte rna l Immob ilisa 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 d isa rm the Im m ob ilize r if it ha s a rm e d itse lf, use the
re m ote control to a rm a nd the n d isa rm the syste m , or
turn on the ig nition a nd p re ss b utton I on the re m ote

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.
Dig ita l Dua l-Zone Tilt/ Motion Se nsor
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.

Fully Adjusta ble Dua l-Level Piezo Sensor
The Dual-Level Piezo Sensor detects vibration and impacts to the
motorcycle. If someone were to lean on or sit on the motorcycle, the primary
zone of this sensor would trigger the full alarm. However, if a thief lightly
bumped the motorcycle, a four chirp warning would sound.

Then:
• Press button II to decrease sensitivity. A single
chirp confirms each decrease in sensitivity.
• Press button III to increase sensitivity. Two
chirps confirm each increase in sensitivity.
• Three chirps indicate that you are at the top or
bottom of the 16 step incremental range.
Test your settings by lightly thumping on the
motorcycle. One chirp signals an alarm trigger
level detection, two chirps signal a warning level
detection.

Fa lse Ala rm Pre ve ntion & 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.)

Sma rt AutoTe sting ™
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.
NO TE: Since this is a w a rning in d ica tion, you w ill he a r
the 4 chirp s e ve n if you use the chirp m uting fe a ture .
n Sp e cific ma lfunction id e ntifica tion: 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 cycle between pauses (for your
convenience, the flash cycle repeats a total of 5 times) and refer to the

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.
Eig ht-Eve nt Tota lRe ca ll™
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.

Sma rtPowe 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 Siren
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.
Pla inVie w 2 Prog ra mming 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.”

How to e nte r your PIN Cod e for the first time
The PIN code provides two functions: to turn the alarm off in the event that
you cannot use your remote control and secondly, to access programming
mode. Your GP500 PIN code was set by the factory. You may want to
change the PIN code using the instructions provided to insure the utmost
vehicle security.
