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
May require additional parts and installation
Note
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 three seconds. Major impacts caused for example
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 the siren to chirp three seconds before beginning the Full Trigger
output. This three 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.
© 2013 Directed. All rights reserved.

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
SENSOR WARN
10 beeps (if on) and displays a sensor zone specific
text for 30 seconds. 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

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 button on the Control Center the correct
number of times (the default is one press).
3. After a few seconds the siren output ceases and the system
is disarmed.
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 four times (or five times
if NPC On*), the parking lights flash three times, and the control
center LED flashes in groups to indicate the last two zones that were
DISARM
triggered (see Table of Zones). The
text is replaced by
ALARM REPORT
and text identifying the triggers.

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.
The Alarm 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.
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.
© 2013 Directed. All rights reserved.

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
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 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
will turn off one 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.
© 2013 Directed. All rights reserved.
41
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
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 nor-
mal functions of the system and remote, perform the command again
within 10 seconds to return to normal operation.

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.
Warnings! NEVER use a cable other than the one pro-
vided 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 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
LOWBAT
when disarming. After performing a command,
and several
beeps play on the Responder LC remote to indicate the battery needs
to be charged.
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.
Important
Battery Life
The Responder LC 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:
•
•
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 mes-
sages with Paging off in the Setup Remote menu. Caution! The
remote will not receive trigger messages from the system.
Turn Beeps off: The Button beeps can be turned off in the Setup
Remote menu. The command beeps still play normally.

designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates and can radiate radio fre-
quency 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 installa-
tion. 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.

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 proce-
dures regarding manual transmission remote starters. If you have any questions,
ask your authorized Directed dealer or contact Directed at 1-800-753-0600.

WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the parking/emer-
gency 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 biannu-
ally.
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 im-
mediately 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.
