Getting Started
Your remote control 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 Bat-
tery Information and Status Screen Icons sections for more information
about the battery.

Charging the Remote Control


1. Plug the AC adapter into a 110V AC outlet. Insert the mini-USB
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 CHARGE to indicate the remote control is
charging (The remote remains operational while charging and
can command the system).
2. Once fully charged the text field will display FULL .
3. The remote control is then ready for use. Disconnect the mini-
USB end from the remote control first and then the AC adapter
from the AC outlet.

Note The remote control remains operational while charging and


can command the system.
If the battery is excessively depleted when the charger is
connected, functionality may be delayed while it charges to
the minimum voltage required to operate the display, after
which normal charging resumes.

Alarm Features
Normal Arm Protection
Control center LED: The control center LED flashes as a visual indicator
that your vehicle’s security system is active.

Starter Kill: The failsafe starter kill relay prevents the engine from start-
ing
Note May require additional parts and installation

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 flash-
ing the parking lights for 3 seconds. Major impacts caused for exam-
ple 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 trig-
ger output, while opening a door or turning on the Ignition causes 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 mes-
sages 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 SENSOR WARN text
for 30 seconds. Warn-away messages cannot be reviewed or dis-
played in reports.

Full Trigger Messages


A full trigger message generates a full trigger output of siren tones and
zone specific TRIGGER text followed by an alert that consists of 1
long beep per minute for 10 minutes.
To stop the output and alert, press a command button to perform a
command, or Press the button.

Emergency Override
The following procedure disarms the system when a programmed re-
mote is not available. Number of presses__________
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Press the control center button the correct number of times
(the default is 1 press).
3. After a few seconds the siren output ceases and the system
is disarmed.

Note As a precaution, if programmed for passive arming or auto


re-arming the system should be placed into valet mode until
a remote is available .

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 DISARM text is replaced by ALARM REPORT and text
identifying the triggers. The report output will repeat for each disarm
operation until the vehicle is driven.

* See Nuisance Prevention (NPC) for more details.

Alarm Report when Requested


The alarm report displays the two most recent alarm triggers depend-
ing on the system state when requested. When disarmed, the report
will display text to identify the two most recent triggers since the ve-
hicle was last driven. When armed, the report will display text to
identify the two most recent triggers since the system was armed.

Note The Alarm Report clears when ignition is turned on.

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 arm-
ing countdown begins. The control center 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 arm-
ing resumes.
To stay secure in the case of accidentally 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 arm-
ing 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.

Valet Mode
Valet mode can be entered and exited by performing the remote valet
command or manually using the vehicle key and the control center
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
VALET text and beeps play to confirm.

Use the following steps to manually enter and exit valet mode:
1. Turn the ignition switch on and then off
2. Immediately press and release the control center button once
3. The control center LED turns on when entering and off when exit-
ing.

Power Save
To reduce power consumption the control center LED modifies its out-
put if the vehicle is parked for an extended period. If armed the flash-
ing is reduced after 24 hours. When valet mode is on the control
center LED will turn off after 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.

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.

Out of Range
Each time a command is performed the remote will expect a com-
mand 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 incom-
plete command (e.g. aux button pressed too short to activate the trunk
release) or it was an illegal message (e.g. the command was cor-
rupted due to local RF interference). These are temporary normal func-
tions of the system and remote, perform the command again within 10
seconds to return to normal operation.

Car Select
Car 2 must first be turned on (See Responder LC Configuration and
Main Menu sections to turn on).

Two Way Remote


1. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds or until the remote
beeps. The or icon flashes and the text CAR 1 or
CAR 2 is displayed.

2. Change car: While in this mode press the button to switch


between cars and the or icon changes accordingly
indicating which car the remote currently operates.
3. Select the car you want to operate and then press any com-
mand to operate the system. The selected car remains selected
until the setting is changed.

Vehicle Recovery System (VRS)
In case your vehicle is stolen or carjacked, VRS sounds the siren and
flashes the parking lights to persuade the thief to abandon the vehicle,
and when the ignition is turned off, activates the starter kill to prevent
the engine from restarting.

To arm VRS, perform the silent arm command while driving, or while
the ignition is turned on. The siren chirps and parking lights flash once
to confirm arming. The ARMED text and beeps play, and the system
status icons update to confirm arming.

If valet mode is on, the NOT AVAILABLE text and tone plays, exit valet
mode before arming VRS.

Once armed, VRS triggers if any door is opened then closed while
the ignition remains on, and if the vehicle is parked while armed, VRS
triggers when driving resumes. See trigger description below.

When triggered, the control center LED begins flashing after fifteen
seconds. Within 45 seconds perform the silent disarm command to
disarm VRS. If not disarmed, the siren begins chirping for 60 seconds
and then becomes a constant siren blast with flashing parking lights
for several minutes. This output will continue and be repeated each
time the ignition is turned on until VRS is disarmed.

To disarm, perform the silent disarm command anytime before VRS


has been triggered, or within one minute after it has triggered and be-
fore the siren begins to chirp. If not disarmed before the siren begins
to chirp, the emergency override procedure must be used to disarm
VRS.

Battery Information (Responder LC)
The Responder LC remote control is powered by an internal recharge-
able 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 Re-
sponder 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 con-
trol. 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 ex-
treme cold or heat (direct sunlight) when charging the
battery.

Low Battery
After a command is performed the Responder LC and 1way com-
panion 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


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. The default
feature settings provide for excellent battery charge duration. How-
ever, to maximize this duration between charges, the following sug-
gestions will help:

s 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.
s Turn Paging off: The remote will not wake up to check for mes-
sages with paging off in the setup remote menu.
Note: The remote will not receive trigger messages from the sys-
tem.
s Turn Beeps off: The button beeps can be turned off in the setup
remote menu. The command beeps still play normally.

If programming with the Bitwriter®, the learn routine can be locked or unlocked. If the learn routine
has previously been locked, it must be unlocked with Bitwriter® - this cannot be done manually with
the Control button.
The Bitwriter® gives you access to a wider range of system options. These features and the adjustments
that may be programmed are described in the table below.

Basic Remote Functions
See Owner’s guide for functionality details on both the LC and 1-way companion remote control.

Reset and Deletion


If a feature needs to be reset or the remote controls need to be deleted, use the following procedure.

1. Open a door.
2. Turn the ignition to the ON position.
3. Within 10 seconds, press and release the Control button: 2 times if you want to delete remotes or 3 times
to reset features. These function steps are described next.

Delete remotes: This feature erases all remotes from the memory of the security system. This is useful
in cases when a customer’s remote is lost or stolen.
Note: This does not reset the programmed features of the security system.

Reset Features: This resets all features of the security system to the factory default settings.
Note: This feature does not delete the remotes from the security system.

4. Once you have selected the function step, press the Control button once more and hold it. The LED flashes
and the siren chirps to confirm the selected functional step. Do not release the Control button
5. While holding the control button, press the button on the remote control. The unit chirps to confirm that
the feature has been successfully reset. AUX

Once the feature is reset, the Control button can be released.

Note: For step 1, the + or - Door Trigger Input wire needs to be connected unless using an interface module
that supplies the door trigger through D2D.

Long Term Event History


The system stores the last six full triggers in memory. These are not erasable. To access long term event his-
tory:

1. With the ignition Off, press and hold the Control button (on Control Center).
2. Turn the ignition On.
3. Release the Control button.
4. Within 5 seconds, press and release the Control button. The status LED flashes in groups indicating the
last six zones that triggered the unit for 1 minute or until the ignition is turned off (indicated in the order
of most recent first to oldest last). Refer to Table of Zones.

Note: The Warn Away triggers are not stored to memory and is not reported.

Table of Zones
A zone is represented by the number of status LED flashes used by the system to identify a particular type of
input.

Zone Description Input Description


1 Trunk Pin H1/7 Blue wire
2 Instant trigger: a heavier impact On board shock sensor.
detected by the onboard shock sensor
3 Door switch trigger H1/8 Green or H1/6 Violet wire
4 Instant trigger: For optional sensors 3 pin optional GWA MUX port
5 Ignition trigger H3/5 Yellow wire
6 Hood Pin H3/7 Grey wire
7 Instant trigger: For optional sensors 4 pin optional MUX port

Troubleshooting: Alarm
Shock sensor doesn’t trigger the alarm:
1. Was the onboard shock sensor adjusted before the brain was mounted? If so re-adjust the sensor.
2. Has the onboard shock sensor been turned off? The sensor has the ability to be turned off when
adjusting.
3. Has the NPC® system been triggered? If so, you hear 5 chirps when disarming. To check this, turn the
ignition key on and off to clear the NPC® memory, and then retest the shock sensor. For a detailed
description of NPC®, see Nuisance Prevention Circuitry section of the owners guide.

Door input does not immediately trigger full alarm. Instead, chirps are heard for the first 3 seconds:
• That’s how the progressive two-stage door input works! This is a feature of this system even if the door
is instantly closed again, the progression from chirps to constant siren continues.

Closing the door triggers the system, but opening the door does not:
• Have you correctly identified the type of door switch system? This happens often when the wrong
door input has been used.

System does not passively arm until it is remotely armed and then disarmed:
1. Is passive arming programmed ON?
2. Are the door inputs connected? Is the H1/7 blue wire connected to the door trigger wire in the ve-
hicle? Either the H1/8 green or the H1/6 violet should be used instead.

Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm:
• Does the Status LED indicate that the trigger was caused by the shock sensor? (See Table of Zones sec-
tion of this guide.) The shock sensor, if set to extreme sensitivity, may be detecting the door unlatching
before the door switch sends its signal. Reducing the sensitivity can solve this problem.
