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 connect the battery charger if not fully charged. See  
Battery Information and Status Screen Icons sections for more informa-  
tion about the battery.  
Charging the remote control:  
1. Plug the AC adapter into a 110V AC outlet. Insert the mini-USB  
connector into the port on 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. Discon-  
nect the mini-USB end from the remote control first and then the  
AC adapter from the AC outlet.  
Mini-USB  
Port  
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.

Normal Arm Protection  
Status LED: The Control Center Status LED flashes as a visual indicator  
that your vehicles security system is active.  
Starter Kill: The Failsafe starter kill relay prevents the engine from  
starting  
May require additional parts and installation  
Note  
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  
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 Trig-  
ger 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 mes-  
sages to the remote, while the vehicles light flash and siren outputs  
are defeated. Point of entry triggers will activate the light flash, siren,  
and send messages normally.

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 .  
Note  
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.

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.  
The last trigger report clears when ignition is turned on.  
Note  
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 arm-  
ing 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 arm-  
ing 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 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 button.  
When entered, the alarm functions are defeated while the conve-  
nience features still operate normally.  
Arm and Disarm commands lock and unlock the doors while the

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 press 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.  
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 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.

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 con-  
trol sends a request to the selected car which, if within range, re-  
sponds 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 hold-  
ing the lock button of an OEM keyless entry. It will automatically close  
the windows and sunroof on vehicles with this type of OEM conve-  
nience feature.

Battery Information (Responder HD)  
The Responder HD 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 batterys life and usage in providing your  
Responder HD remote control with many years of trouble free opera-  
tion.  
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 HD remote con-  
trol. It is a high current device designed specifically for  
rapid charging of the Responder HD battery and may  
cause severe damage or explosion when connected to  
any other products.

ing alerts. Once the alerts begin they will continue to command the  
system for several days but should be charged at the earliest opportu-  
nity 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 inter-

rupts each Status screen output and plays the  
screen with several alert beeps.  
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.  
Important  
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 su-  
perior 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:
