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 if not fully charged, use the provided cable to connect to the USB port on a computer. See Battery Information and
Status Screen Icons sections for more information about the battery.
Charging the remote control:
1. Plug the USB end of the provided USB cable into the USB port
on a computer. Insert the mini-USB connector into the mini-USB
port located on the side of 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 cable from the remote control end first.
If the battery is excessively depleted when charging, func-
Note
tionality may be delayed while it charges to the minimum
voltage required to operate the display, after which normal
charging resumes.
