remote control communication

Below are descriptions of the functions and features the remote

control uses to communicate information.

Command send: to send a command to the system, press

•

the buttons for the desired function as described above. While the

remote control is transmitting, the screen will play the transmit

animation.

Note: If the remote control does not play the transmitting anima‑

tion, the remote control did not transmit the command.

Command response: one second after the system receives

•

and implements a command; it will transmit a command response

to the activating remote control. The remote control will play the

appropriate Notification output.

Note: If more than one remote control is programmed to the

system, a command update will follow ten seconds later.

Command Update: a command update is sent to keep

•

additional remote controls in sync with the current system state.

The command update remote control Notification will be a

repeat of the command response.

Note: If only one remote control is programmed to the system, a

command update IS NOT sent.

Page: a Page is a single transmission five seconds long to

•

all programmed remote controls.

A page is transmitted when the system state changes by means

other than a command from a remote control. Usually it is due to

an alarm warn or full trigger, a timer mode remote start, a remote

start shutdown, or the Car Call feature is activated.

Notification: a remote control Notification is the audible

•

beeps and animation output after the remote control receives

a command response, command update, or a page from the

system.

• Alarm Page Alert: an alarm page alert is a single beep that

repeats every sixty seconds after an alarm warn or full trigger

page has been received. It will continue to beep until it has been

cleared by the user.

Alarm Page: to clear an Alarm Page Alert, press any button

•

on the remote control.

Until the alert is cleared, the buttons on the remote control will

not transmit commands.

a. During Alarm Page Notification: press any button while

the Notification is playing, the alert will clear and the animation

will stop.

b. After Notification: press any button after the Notification,

the alert will clear and the animation will replay without the

beeps.

Out of Range: If the remote control does not receive a

•

command response with a few seconds of sending a command,

it will assume it is out‑of‑range and will play the appropriate

Notification.

notification replay feature

The notification replay feature allows you to replay the most recent

remote control Notification animation. This feature is convenient

for reviewing the detail for the Notification such as remote start

on/off, alarm page etc.

To replay, simultaneously press and release the “

” & “ ”

buttons. The screen will replay the animation once without beeps.

remote control maintenance

This remote control needs no specific maintenance beyond charging

of the remote control battery. It is powered by a 4.3V/600mA

Lithium Ion battery that will last approximately 1 week on a full

charge under normal use. Excessive viewing of on-screen anima-

tions will quickly diminish the battery charge.

The Battery Level icon has three bars as a visual indication of

battery charge. When the battery level icon displays one bar, the

battery charger should be connected promptly to assure uninter-

rupted operation. The remote control battery level icon is displayed

during each Notification and Notification replay.

charging the remote control battery

To charge the battery in the 2way color remote control plug the

AC adapter into a 115V AC wall socket and the other end into the

charging port of the Remote Control.

The charging time will depend on the battery charge level when

connected. If completely discharged, the battery will reach ½ charge

in about 25 minutes and full charge in approximately 2 hours.
