Getting Started

Your Responder LC 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:

Plug the AC adapter into a 110V AC outlet. Insert the mini-USB 1. connector into the mini-USB port located on the side of the remote control (see diagram under Responder LC 2-way). The text ﬁeld will display charging (The remote remains operational while charging and can command the system). Once fully charged the text ﬁeld will display 2. The remote control is then ready for use. Disconnect the mini-3. USB end from the remote control ﬁrst and then the AC adapter from the AC outlet.

If the battery is excessively depleted when the charger is

Note

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

Note

Sensor triggers: The onboard shock sensor can distinguish minor im-

pacts from major impacts to the vehicle exterior. Minor impacts causes the system to emit a Warn-away output by chirping the siren and ﬂashing the parking lights for 3 seconds. Major impacts caused for example by a forcible entry attempt, results in a Full Trigger output. The siren sounds and the parking lights ﬂash for 30 seconds or longer. Both Warn-away and Full Triggers send a message to the remote control.

Point of entry triggers: Opening the hood or trunk causes a Full Trigger output, while opening a Door or turning on the Ignition causes the the siren to chirp 3 seconds before beginning the Full Trigger output. This 3 second delay allows time to disarm and silence the siren in case of accidental trigger. The Full Trigger message is still sent to the remote.

Sensor Silent Arm protection

Sensor Warn-away and Sensor Full Trigger activations only send messages to the remote, while the parking light ﬂash and siren outputs are defeated. Point of entry triggers will activate the parking light ﬂash, siren, and send messages normally.

Full Silent Arm Protection

Sensor Warn-away, Sensor Full Trigger and Point of Entry activations will only send messages to the remote, with parking light ﬂash and siren outputs defeated.

Sensor Warn-away Messages

When the remote receives a Sensor Warn-away message it emits 10 beeps (if on) and displays a sensor zone speciﬁc text for 30 seconds. Warn-away messages cannot be reviewed or displayed in reports.

Trigger Zone Fault Report

When armed by remote command the system runs a status check of the alarm trigger zones. Faulty zones (usually caused by dome light delay or open trunk) are bypassed and reported via the control center LED and remote, while all other trigger zones remain active and are monitored to protect the vehicle. Should a faulty zone self correct (dome light turns off) it becomes active and is then monitored normally. The siren chirps once again a few seconds following the arming chirps as an audible alert, the control center LED ﬂashes in groups to indicate the zone number. The remote will emit a single fault tone and play zone speciﬁc text that identiﬁes the faulty zones.

Alarm Report when disarming

The most recent alarm triggers (if any) are reported when the alarm is disarmed via the remote control, siren chirps, parking light and control center LED ﬂashes. The siren chirps 4 times (or 5 times if NPC On*), the parking lights ﬂash 3 times, and the control center LED ﬂashes in groups to indicate the last two zones that were triggered (see Table of Zones).

The Alarm Report displays the two most recent alarm triggers depending on the system state when requested. When disarmed, the report will display text to identify the two most recent triggers since the vehicle was last driven. When armed, the report will display text to identify the two most recent triggers since the system was armed.

The Alarm Report clears when ignition is turned on.

Note

Nuisance Prevention (NPC)

NPC monitors all alarm zones and, if any are triggered excessively, bypasses them until corrected. If a point of entry (trunk, hood, door) is left open following a forced entry, it is bypassed. It becomes active again only after being closed.

Bypassed sensors automatically reset after one hour and after the vehicle is driven. Disarming then re-arming the alarm does not reset bypassed sensors.

Remote and System Operations

Passive Arming*

Park and exit the vehicle, after the doors are closed the Passive arming countdown begins. The led ﬂashes quickly and upon reaching 20 seconds the siren then chirps once. At 30 seconds the system arms itself.

Anytime before the system arms you can re-enter the vehicle or open the trunk to load or unload items and, after closing passive arming resumes.

To stay secure in case of accidental disarming the system, if a door is not opened within 30 seconds the system re-arms itself and locks the doors.

Auto Re-arming*

Auto re-arm ensures the vehicle stays protected if it is not entered after disarming by remote control. After disarming by remote, the alarm automatically re-arms itself (and locks the doors if programmed on) in 30 seconds. Open any point of entry to stop the re-arm until the next disarm by remote.

Onetime Bypass*

Turn the ignition On for one to three seconds and then Off. The siren chirps once to conﬁrm one-time bypass is enabled. One-time bypass can be used to temporarily bypass the Passive arming operation for one cycle. It also bypasses the comfort closure and auxiliary channel outputs programmed to activate when arming. After the next disarm all operations return to normal.

* These features must be turned on by an authorized Directed dealer.

Page 44

Valet Mode

Valet mode can be entered and exited by performing the Remote Valet command or manually using the vehicle key and the control button. When entered, the alarm functions are defeated while the convenience features still operate normally. Arm and Disarm commands lock and unlock the doors while the

Use the following steps to manually enter and exit Valet Mode:

Turn1. the ignition switch On and then Off Immediately 2. press and release the control button once The control center LED turns On when entering and Off when 3. exiting.

Power Save

To reduce power consumption the control center status LED modiﬁes its output if the vehicle is parked for an extended period. If Armed the ﬂashing is reduced after 24 hours. When Valet mode is On the LED will turn off 1 hour and will reset each time the ignition is turned off.

Rapid Resume

If power is ever disconnected by a mechanic or thief, the system will resume the state it was in at the time of disconnection, when power is reconnected.

Feature Details

Automatic Remote Updates

The system sends a silent message to all remote controls after any major action has occurred. When the remote receives this message it updates the status screen icons. This way all users are able to quickly review the system status just by accessing the status screen.

Page 45

Out of Range

Each time a command is performed the remote will expect a command conﬁrmation from the system. If a command conﬁrmation is not received the out-of-range icon (

) and a fault tone will play as an

alert.

No Remote Output

Occasionally when a command is performed the remote may not generate a command conﬁrmation output or Out of Range output. This indicates that the system received the command but it was an incomplete command (e.g. Aux button pressed too short to activate the trunk release) or it was an illegal message (e.g. the command was corrupted due to local RF interference). These are temporary normal functions of the system and remote, perform the command again within 10 seconds to return to normal operation.

Battery Information (Responder LC)

The Responder LC remote control is powered by an internal rechargeable battery that can be serviced only through an authorized Directed Electronics dealer. The information and precautions in this section can help maximize your battery’s life and usage in providing your Responder LC remote control with many years of trouble free operation. The battery information for the 1way companion remote control can be found in the 1-way Companion Remote Control section of this manual.

Warnings! NEVER connect the supplied AC adapter to products other than the Responder LC remote control. It is a high current device designed speciﬁcally for rapid charging of the Responder LC battery and may cause severe damage or explosion when connected to any other products.

Charging the battery when the temperature is below 32°F (0°C) or above 113°F (45°C) may cause severe battery damage and/or reduce battery life. Avoid placing the remote control in areas exposed to extreme cold or heat (direct sunlight) when charging the battery.

Low Battery

After a command is performed the Responder LC and 1way companion remote controls check their battery level and, when the level requires attention, will begin generating alerts. Once the alerts begin they will continue to command the system for several days but should

Battery

Page 53

be charged at the earliest opportunity or failure to control the system may occur.

Low Battery Alerts

When disarming the system using a remote with a low battery the siren will emit one additional chirp as an alert. If conﬁrmation chirps are programmed off, the system will still emit one chirp as an alert when disarming. After performing a command,

LOWBAT

and several beeps play on the Responder LC remote to indicate the battery needs to be charged.

Important

To preserve power at critically low battery levels the Responder LC turns the pager off and stops receiving messages from the system. It will continue to command the system until the battery can be charged.

Battery Life

The Responder LC remote control has many features that make it one of the most unique remote controls on the market today, including superior long range communication with the system. The default feature settings provide for excellent battery charge duration. However, to maximize this duration between charges, the following suggestions will help:

Turn the remote Off: When not in use and/or out of range of the s vehicle the remote can be turned off in the Main menu. Turn Paging off: The remote will not wake up to check for mes-s sages with Paging off in the Setup Remote menu. Caution! The remote will not receive trigger messages from the system.
