Important information
Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art remote start and
alarm system. Due to the complexity of this system, it must be installed
by an authorized dealer only. Installation of this product by anyone
other than an authorized dealer voids the warranty. All dealers are
provided with a preprinted dealer certificate to verify authorization.
By carefully reading this Owner’s Guide prior to using your system,
you will maximize the use of this system and its features. You can print
additional or replacement copies of this manual by accessing our web
site at www.directed.com.
➢ Your warranty
Your warranty registration must be completely filled out and returned
within 10 days of purchase. Your product warranty will not be validat-
ed if your warranty registration is not returned. Make sure you receive
the warranty registration from your dealer. It is also necessary to keep
your proof of purchase, which reflects that the product was installed by
an authorized dealer.
➢ Replacement remote controls
Your system comes with one Responder LC remote control (P/N 7752V)
and one companion remote control (P/N
controls are desired, please see your authorized dealer or visit us at

➢ 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 emit a
harsh tone and the out of range indicator will appear.
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 One way remote is
powered by small coin cell lightweight 3-volt lithium battery that will last
approximately one year under normal use. The 1-way remote uses one
CR2032 cell battery. The 2-way remote contains a non-replaceable
rechargeable battery. When the battery begins to weaken, the operating range will be reduced.

Note:
If the battery has been severely discharged all remote functions
are disabled for a short charge period. The battery status outline flashes
and CHARGE is displayed on the LCD. Once the battery has accumulated enough charge for functionality, the LCD icons initialize with
a beep sound, the battery status outline stops flashing and the remote
becomes operational while still displaying CHARGE.
Warning!The temperature range over which the
battery can be charged is 0ºC TO 45ºC (32ºF
TO 113ºF). Charging the battery at temperatures
outside this range may cause severe damage to
the battery or reduce battery life expectancy.
➢ Low battery indicator
When the batteries are low on the 2-way remote it emits two groups of
beeps, the battery icon flashes and low battery is indicated, the alarm
then emits an additional chirp upon disarming of the alarm 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 way audibly.
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.
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.

Details:
Smart start uses temperature and voltage settings to determine
when the vehicle should start and run. If any changes to temperature
or voltage are made using the Bitwriter programming tool Smart start
activation is affected.
The Smart Start function works similar to the Timer mode. The system
must be in the locked mode, and using the system default settings, it
has a maximum of 6 starting cycles and checks the voltage/cabin
temperature every 3 hours to see if the thresholds have been met.
If thresholds have been met then the remote start will start the vehicle
and run for the pre programmed time. It counts the first start as one successful start, leaving 5 start cycles.
If the threshold has not been met then the system will not start the vehicle, and 6 start cycles are left. The unit continues to check threshold
levels every 3 hours.
The Responder LC 2-way remote control has menus for configuring the

This system has several important safety features to ensure proper operation of the motor and prevent accidental damage to the engine or
its components.
➢ Starter anti-grind circuitry
Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind circuitry
prevents the starter from engaging, even if the key is turned to the start
position. This prevents damage to the starter motor if the key is turned
to the start position during remote start operation.
Note:
Anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote start system is
operating the motor and the Failsafe® Starter Kill relay is installed.
➢ Disabling the remote start system
This feature allows the remote start unit to be temporarily disabled to
prevent the vehicle from being remote started accidentally. This feature
is useful when the vehicle is being serviced or stored in an enclosed
area.
To disable the remote start, move the shutdown toggle switch to the OFF
position. Check with your installer for the location.
Location of Shutdown Switch____________________________
The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly monitoring
all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It is designed to detect
any faulty switches and sensors and prevent them from disabling the
entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence.
Refer to System Status Chirps and Table of Zones sections of this guide
for diagnostic information.
➢ Last trigger
Press
last trigger and the remote recalls the last zone that has triggered the
security system.
➢ Arming
If the security system is armed at the same time that an input is active
(such as a door opening or sensor triggering), you will hear one siren
chirp to indicate arming and a second siren chirp to indicate Bypass
Notification.
A Bypass Notification chirp means that the security system ignores
the input that was active when the system was armed, until that input
ceases. Three seconds after that input ceases, the security system will
resume normal monitoring.
For example
your security system before the interior light turns off, you may hear a
second Bypass Notification chirp.
Once the light turns off, the security system resumes normal monitoring.

Note:
Bypass Notification does not occur when the system is in Silent
Mode or if the notification chirps have been programmed off by the
installer.
➢ Disarming
Extra chirps heard when disarming the system are the Tamper Alert.
If four chirps are heard when disarming the system, then the security
system was triggered in your absence.
If five chirps are heard when disarming the system, the system was
triggered so many times that the Nuisance Protection® Circuitry has
bypassed the intended zone. In either case, the status LED will indicate
which zone was involved (see Table of Zones).
The security system will retain this information in its memory, and chirp
four or ve times each time it is disarmed, until the next time that the
ignition is turned on.
Note concerning low battery alert:
When the batteries in the remote
are low the alarm will give an additional chirp when disarming to let
you know its time to change the battery in the remote.
➢ System status chirps
The siren will chirp when arming/disarming the system. The pattern of
chirps will audibly report the system’s status as described below.
ActionNumber of ChirpsDescription
Arm1System armed
Arm1 (3-second delay) + 1 System armed with bypass notification
A zone is represented by the number of LED flashes used by the system
to identify a particular type of input. Standard input assignments are
listed in the following table, along with spaces to write in any optional
sensors or switches that have been installed.

➢ Interpreting zone diagnostics
Warn Away responses are not reported by arming or disarming diagnostics. If you receive a Bypass notification when arming or a Tamper
Alert notification when disarming, look at the LED on the control center.
Active or triggered zones will be indicated by a pattern of blinks by
the LED.
If zone 3 was active or triggered, the LED will blink three
times with a two-second pause. Then it will blink three times again, and
repeat until the ignition is turned on.
➢ Nuisance prevention® circuitry
Your system has Directed’s Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry (NPC). It
prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin
switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers,
airport noise, etc.
For example:
If the alarm triggers three times within a 60-minute period
and each time the same sensor or switch triggers the alarm, NPC will
interpret those triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger, NPC ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors
or switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes.
If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the security system while it is being
bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures that
a sensor that is continually being triggered will remain bypassed.
The vehicle doors are protected by NPC differently. If your security
system is triggered by an open door for three full cycles, the system will
bypass the doors until the trigger ceases.
➢ Remote Start
This system can provide you with information to indicate what the problem is
when using the remote start. When the remote start is activated and fails to
engage, count the parking light flashes to determine the problem. The parking
lights will flash between 5 - 8 times to indicate what caused the no start situation.
• 7 ashes: manual transmission mode is enabled and not initialized
• 8 ashes: neutral safety wire has no ground or the remote start
defeat toggle switch is off.
Keep a record of the number of flashes, to assist your installer when taking the
vehicle in for service.
Owner recognition
Owner Recognition lets up to four users of the system have unique settings that meet their specific needs. It is almost like having four separate
alarms in your vehicle, one for each user. This feature is only available
to authorized dealers using the Bitwriter or Bitwriter 2 program tool.
Rapid resume logic
This Directed system will store its current state to non-volatile memory.
If power is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the stored
state from memory.
For example, if the unit is in Valet Mode and the battery is disconnected
for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery is recon-
nected the unit will still be in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the
system including arm, disarm, and Valet Mode.
Your system will automatically enter Power Saver Mode while armed or
in Valet Mode, after a period of time in which no operation has been
performed. This lowers the current draw on the vehicle’s battery. Power
Saver Mode takes over under the following conditions:
Power Saver when the system is armed:
armed for 24 hours the LED will flash at half its normal rate, decreasing
the system’s current draw.
Power Saver in Valet Mode:
Status LED on the Responder LE control center illuminates steadily. If the
vehicle is not used (ignition is not turned on) for a one hour period while
the system is in Valet Mode, the status LED will shut off. If the system
remains in Valet Mode, the LED will come back on the next time the
ignition is turned on and then back off.
When the system enters Valet Mode the
After the system has been
➢ 2-way remote
Your Responder LC 2way remote control has a feature called remote
power save mode. When programmed ON under remote options, the
remote will conserve power by disabling the paging function if unused
for more than 72 hours. Pressing any button on the remote will restore
the paging function.
The default setting is ON. See Remote control programming section of
this guide or ask your dealer for details on how to program.
Your system has many custom programmable options. Some may require installation labor. Ask your authorized dealer for details.
The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory
settings in Bold.
Active
• arming (remote only) passive arming with or without locking
the doors (automatic arming without locking the doors 30 seconds
after the last door has been closed), or Auto Re-arm with or without
locking the doors (Automatically arms 60 seconds after disarm if
no door is opened).
Arming/disarming siren chirps •
chirps, Or OFF with or without Warn-away chirps.
Ignition controlled door lock feature• ON or OFF: When this feature is programmed on, the doors will lock three seconds after the
ignition is turned on, and unlock when the ignition is turned off.
If your installer is programming the security system with the Directed
Bitwriter®, ignition lock and unlock are independent features that can
be programmed separately.
Panic mode enabled
• /disabled when the ignition is turned on or
completely turned OFF. (Some states have laws against sirens
sounding in moving cars.)
Full trigger response 30
• or 60 seconds: This determines how long
the full triggered sequence lasts. Some states have laws regulating
how long a security system can sound before it is considered a
nuisance.
If your installer is programming the security system with the Directed
Bitwriter®, the full triggered response can be programmed for any
duration ranging from 1 to 180 seconds.
Siren tones and chirp volume:
• The output of the Revenger™Soft
Chirp™ siren consists of six different tones in sequence. Any of
these tones can be eliminated by a dealer, resulting in a unique,
easily identiable siren sound. The arm/disarm chirps can be either full volume or 6 decibels quieter than the full alarm blast.
Comfort closure
• is a programming option which closes the ve-
hicle’s windows after remote locking.
Note:
Comfort closure can only be used on cars that have the capability of closing the windows (and on some cars the sunroof as well) with
the key cylinder in the door.
Listed below are some of the many expansion options available. Please
consult your dealer for a complete explanation of all the options avail-
able to you.
