Getting Started

Your Responder HD remote is powered by an internal rechargeable battery that can only be serviced by an authorized Directed dealer. Due to transit and storage time prior to your purchase, the battery charge may have depleted. To ensure proper operation, check the battery level and connect the battery charger if not fully charged. See Battery Information and Status Screen Icons sections for more information about the battery.

Charging the remote control:

1. Plug the AC adapter into a 110V AC outlet. Insert the mini-USB connector into the port on the remote control. The Status screen Info Center then indicates the remote control is charging.

2. While the Status screen is off, the blue transmit LED will continue blinking until fully charged (the remote control also remains functional to command the system or access the Status screen to check the battery level).

3. Once fully charged the remote control is ready for use. Disconnect the mini-USB end from the remote control ﬁrst and then the AC adapter from the AC outlet.

connected, functionality may be delayed while it charges to the minimum voltage required to operate the display, after which normal charging resumes.
