Trigger refers to the remote tones and LED pattern generated by the last alarm trigger event.

Out of Range Notification

If a command is issued from the remote, but the remote is beyond the range of the vehicle to receive the command, the remote will respond with an Out of Range notification. If this occurs, the remote will Blink rapidly the transmit indicator, turn on the F indicator and play the error tone.

Since conditions will vary in different areas (ie: Weather, RF interference, etc) range may be affected and require you to be closer to the vehicle for successful transmission.

System maintenance

The system requires no speciﬁc maintenance. Your remotes are powered by small coin cell lightweight 3-volt lithium batteries that will last approximately one year under normal use. The 2-way remote uses two CR2016 cell batteries and the 1-way remote uses one CR2032 cell battery. When the battery begins to weaken, the operating range will be reduced.

Low battery indicator

When the batteries are low on the 2-way remote it will emit two groups of beeps, the LED will ﬂash, and the alarm will emit an additional chirp to let you know its time to change the battery. When the battery is low on the 1-way remote, the remote responds the same, but without the LED ﬂash.

Note: The Arm/Disarm chirps should be programmed ON for the alarm to emit any additional chirps during disarm. Ask your authorized dealer if you have any questions.

Battery Replacement

Slide the door up to expose the battery beneath the holder. Remove the expired battery. Place the new battery into the remote control. When power is returned the remote control is ready for use.

Remote control programming

The Responder LE 2 way remote control has menus for programming the remote to the system control module including adjusting the control module onboard shock sensor, and for configuring the remote control user features.

To program the remote user features:

Press and hold the button for 12 seconds: (at 3 seconds ignore

1. the Car number indicator.) The remote emits one long beep, and the Transmit LED turns on.

2. This indicates the Main menu. Press and hold the

3. The remote beeps two-times, and the Transmit LED blinks two-times and stays on. You are now in the Remote Configuration menu. The Arm, Disarm, Remote Start & Aux LEDs will turn ON, and/or blink to indicate the current remote feature configuration. When the LED is ON, the feature is ON.

To configure the remote control features press and release the command button. The LED next to the button will turn On then OFF. The remote beeps to indicate the feature configuration.
