Your Responder LC3 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.

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.
The companion 1 way remote commands the system features as
shown in the previous table, but without the message display of the
Responder LC3 remote. Parking light flashes is used to indicate that a
command has been received and activated as described in the Basic
and Advanced command sections.

The Responder LC3 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 LC3 remote control with many years of trouble free
operation.
The battery information for the 1-way 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 LC3 remote control. It is a high current device designed specifically for
rapid charging of the Responder LC3 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 LC3 and 1-way 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
be charged at the earliest opportunity or failure to control the system
may occur.
Low Battery Alerts
After performing a command,

charged.

Important
To preserve power at critically low battery levels the
Responder LC3 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 LC3 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
vehicle the remote can be turned off in the Main menu.
• Turn Paging off: The remote will not wake up to check for messages with Paging off in the Setup Remote menu.
• Turn Beeps off: The Button beeps can be turned off in the Setup
Remote menu. The command beeps still play normally.
