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.

Note If the battery is excessively depleted when charging, 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

Status LED:

The Control Center Status 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 starting

Note

May require additional parts and installation

Sensor triggers: The shock sensor can distinguish minor impacts from major impacts to the vehicle exterior. Minor impacts causes the system to emit a Warn-away output by chirping the siren and flashing the parking lights for 3 seconds. Major impacts caused for example by a forcible entry attempt, results in a Full Trigger output. The siren sounds and the 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 Trigger output, while opening a Door or turning on the Ignition causes the 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 messages to the remote, while the vehicle’s light flash and siren outputs are defeated. Point of entry triggers will activate the light flash, siren, and send messages normally.


35

36

Full Silent Arm Protection

Sensor warn-away, Sensor full trigger and Point of entry activations will only send messages to the remote, with vehicle 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 plays a sensor zone specific

WARN AWAY

animation once. Warn-away messages cannot be reviewed or displayed in reports.

Full trigger Messages

A Full Trigger message generates a Full Trigger output of siren tones and zone specific

TRIGGER

animation for 15 seconds followed by an alert that consists of 2 beeps per minute for 10 minutes.

To stop the output and alert, press

a command button to perform a command, or toggle

the menu wheel. If the output is not stopped, the next press or toggle of the remote control buttons or wheel replays the zone specific

TRIGGER

animation for review before returning to normal operation.

Emergency Override

The following procedure disarms the system when a programmed remote is not available. Number of presses__________

1. Turn the ignition On.

2. Press the control button on the Control Center 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 emits a fault tone, displays a screen for each faulty zone, and then updates the Sensor status icon in the Status screen.

Press

any button within 20 seconds of the fault tone to review the report without performing a command.

Alarm Trigger Report

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 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 remote control Disarm output is replaced by screens and beeps that identify the two most recent triggers.

* See ”Nuisance Prevention (NPC)” on page 38 for more details.

Last Trigger Report

The Last Trigger report displays the two most recent alarm triggers depending on the system state when requested. When disarmed, the report will display screens for the two most recent Alarm Zone triggers since the vehicle was last driven. When armed, the report will display screens for two most recent Alarm Zone triggers since the system was armed.

Note The last trigger report clears when ignition is turned on.

38

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.

Sensors that trigger excessively are bypassed and reported to the remote via Sensor Status icon in the Status Screen, and by NPC On screens that are displayed during the Disarm Trigger and Last Trigger reports.

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 arming countdown begins. The 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 arming resumes.

To stay secure in case of accidental 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 arming 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.


45

Valet Mode

Valet mode can be entered and exited by performing the Remote Valet command or manually using the vehicle key and the control 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

LOCKED IN VALET

and

UNLOCK IN VALET

animations 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 and release

the control button once

3. The control center LED turns On when entering and Off when exiting.

Power Save

To reduce power consumption the control center status LED modifies its output if the vehicle is parked for an extended period. If Armed the flashing is reduced after 24 hours. When Valet mode is On, the LED turns off after 1 hour and resets 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.

46

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 command response from the system. If a command response is not received the

OUT OF RANGE

screen and tone plays as an alert.

No Remote Output

Occasionally when a command is performed the remote may not generate a command response output or Out of Range output. This indicates that the system received the command but it was an incomplete command (e.g. AUX button press 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.

Feature not Available

The

System Expansion Options

Controlling two vehicles (Car Select)

The Responder HD and 1way companion remote can control systems in two different vehicles saving the need for multiple remote controls.

This feature also allows for customized system configurations on each vehicle that has more than one driver. See

Owner Recognition

for details.

When you select the car you wish to control, the remote control sends a request to the selected car which, if within range, responds with its system status information. The remote then displays the new car screen followed by the updated status screen. If the newly selected car does not respond the remote control then displays the

CAR 1 NOT AVAILABLE

screen (or Car 2 if applicable) and remains in the newly selected car mode.

Owner recognition

The system can be configured to recognize the remote used when disarming and change selected features to match the remote users preferences. Memory seat adjustment, siren chirps, passive arming, remote button auto unlocking, alarm output duration can all be custom set for each remote user at the time of installation.

Comfort closure

Comfort Closure emulates turning the key in the door cylinder or holding the lock button of an OEM keyless entry. It will automatically close the windows and sunroof on vehicles with this type of OEM convenience feature.

Alarm output duration

The length of time the siren sounds can be adjusted from 1 to 180

52


seconds at the time of installation.

Arming and warn-away chirp control

The system arm, disarm and sensor warn-away chirps can be configured for those that prefer a custom silent alarm operation.

Driver door priority unlocking

The door unlocking operation can be configured to emulate an OEM style of driver priority unlocking for added security during disarming.

Auxiliary Channels

The Auxiliary Channel outputs of this system can activate many of the convenience features found in today’s vehicles. Once a command is performed to activate a convenience feature the Responder HD displays an animation that matches the feature. The system installer can clarify if any of the below listed features are compatible with your vehicle.

• Left Sliding door open/close

• Right Sliding door open/close

• Rear Hatch open/close

Battery Information (Responder HD)

The Responder HD remote control is powered by an internal rechargeable battery that can be serviced only through an authorized Directed dealer. The information and precautions in this section can help maximize your battery’s life and usage in providing your Responder HD 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 use a cable other than the one provided or plug into an unspecified source. Injury, severe damage or explosion may occur when connected to any other products or used in a way not intended.

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.

54

Low Battery

After a command is performed the Responder HD and

1way 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

When disarming the system using a remote control 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. The Responder HD remote control also interrupts each Status screen output and plays the

LOW BATTERY ON REMOTE

screen with several alert beeps.

Important To preserve power at critically low battery levels the

HD remote disables the color display, stops receiving messages from the system, and only performs basic commands. The beeps and blue transmit LED continues to operate while performing basic commands until the battery is charged.

Battery Life

The Responder HD 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 Options menu.

• Set animations to Trigger only: The animations that play during commands can be turned off in the Options menu. Only the trigger message animations will play.

• Turn Paging off: The remote will not wake up to check for messages with Paging off in the Settings menu.

Caution!

The remote will not receive trigger messages from the


55

56 system.

• Turn Beeps off: The Button beeps can be turned off in the Settings menu. The command beeps still play normally.

Battery Information (1-Way)

The 1-way companion remote is powered by one 3V coin cell lithium battery (P/N CR-2032) that should last approximately one year under normal use.

Battery Replacement

1. Using a small slotted/flathead screwdriver, insert into the slot located along the rim at the bottom of the remote control and carefully pry the case open.

2. Gently pry up on the used battery to remove it from the holder.

Orient the new battery for the correct polarity and insert under clip in holder.

3. Reposition case parts, and snap together by pressing firmly and evenly on the front and back.

(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesirable operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television, which can be determined by turning the equipment OFF and ON, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.

Remote Controls

To satisfy FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, this device should be used in hand-held, hand operated configurations only. The device and its antenna must maintain a separation distance of 20 cm or more from the person’s body, except for the hand and wrists, to satisfy RF exposure compliance. This device is designed to be used in a person’s hands and its operating configurations do not support normal transmissions while it is carried in pockets or holsters next to a person’s body.

Warning! Safety First

Please read the safety warnings below before proceeding. Improper use of the product may be dangerous or illegal.

Installation

Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be performed by an authorized Directed dealer. If you have any questions, ask your retailer or contact Directed directly at 1-800-753-0600.

Remote Start Capable

When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal from the remote control transmitter. Therefore, never operate the system in an enclosed area or partially enclosed area without ventilation (such as a garage). When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed area or when having the vehicle serviced, the remote start system must be disabled using the installed menu wheel. It is the user’s sole responsibility to properly handle and keep out of reach from children all remote control transmitters to assure that the system does not unintentionally remote start the vehicle. THE USER MUST IN-

STALL A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA

ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIV-

ING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE STOR-

AGE AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES REMAIN CLOSED. These precautions are the sole responsibility of the user.

Manual Transmission Vehicles

Remote starters on manual transmission vehicles operate differently than those with automatic transmission because you must leave your car in neutral. You must read this Owner’s Guide to familiarize yourself with the proper procedures regarding manual transmission remote starters. If you have any questions, ask your authorized Directed dealer or contact Directed at 1-800-753-0600.


Before remote starting a manual transmission vehicle, be sure to:

• Leave the vehicle in neutral and be sure no one is standing in front or behind the vehicle.

• Only remote start on a flat surface

• Have the parking brake fully engaged

WARNING!

It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the parking/emergency brake properly functions. Failure to do so can result in personal injury or property damage. We recommend the owner have the parking / emergency brake system inspected and adjusted by a qualified automotive shop biannually.

Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode of operation may result in property damage, personal injury, or death. (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the keys in the ignition. The user must also have the neutral safety feature of the vehicle periodically checked, wherein the vehicle must not remotely start while the car is in gear. This testing should be performed by an authorized

Directed dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in the product installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start operation immediately and consult with the authorized Directed dealer to fix the problem.

After the remote start module has been installed, contact your authorized dealer to have him or her test the remote start module by performing the Safety Check outlined in the product installation guide. If the vehicle starts when performing the Neutral Safety Shutdown Circuit test, the remote start unit has not been properly installed. The remote start module must be removed or the installer must properly reinstall the remote start system so that the vehicle does not start in gear. All installations must be performed by an authorized Directed dealer.
