When set to off, beeps are not emitted for any operations except programming. For triggers only, beeps will only be emitted for full trigger messages. Sensor Adjust The button is used for sensor adjustment, to avoid unintended alarm triggers; it is recommended that an authorized Directed dealer performs all sensor adjustments. 19

23 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 starting Note May require additional parts and installation Sensor triggers: The onboard shock sensor can distinguish minor impacts from major impacts to the vehicle exterior. Minor impacts cause 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 parking lights flash for 30 seconds or longer. 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 Responder LE remote control, 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. 20

24 Full Silent Arm Protection Sensor Warn-away, Sensor Full Trigger and Point of Entry activations will only send messages to the Responder LE remote control, with parking light flash and siren outputs defeated. Sensor Warn-away When the system sensors detect a Warn-away trigger the siren chirps and parking lights flash for 3 seconds. No messages are sent to the Responder LE remote control for Warn-away triggers. Full Trigger An alarm Full Trigger will sound the siren and flash the parking lights for 30 seconds while sending a Full Trigger message to the remote control. The ghost LED s flash and siren tones play for 30 seconds 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 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. 21

25 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. Alarm Report If the alarm was triggered while armed, it will be 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 report output will repeat for each disarm operation until the ignition is turned on. * See Nuisance Prevention (NPC) for more details. 22

26 Table of Zones Zone # (led flashes) Zone Name 1 Trunk 2 Shock Sensor 3 Door 4 Sensor 2 5 Ignition 6 Hood 7 Sensor 3 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. 23

27 Remote and System Operations Passive Arming* Park and exit the vehicle, after the doors are closed the Passive arming 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 arming resumes. To stay secure in case of accidental disarming of 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. 24

28 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. The Responder LE emits the arm in valet and disarm in valet output as described for arm and disarm in the Basic Commands section. 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 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 control center LED will turn off after1 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 arm status. 25

29 Out of Range Each time a command is performed the Responder LE will expect a command confirmation from the system. If a command confirmation is not received the and transmit LED s flash and a long fault tone plays 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 normal functions 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 Remote Control Configuration section to turn on). 1. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds. The remote flashes the transmit LED and beeps once or twice to indicate the selected car is 1 or Release the button, then press and release while the transmit LED and beeps continue to perform car select. Once the car is selected a command can be performed by pressing one of the command buttons. Note: The 1-way remote does not emit any indication beeps. The transmit LED flashes once or twice to indicate car one or car two. 26

30 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 arm LED and beeps play to confirm arming. If valet mode is on, the before arming VRS. LED and fault tone plays, exit valet mode 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 arm 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 before the siren begins to chirp. If not disarmed before the siren begins to chirp, the emergency override procedure must be used to disarm VRS. 27

31 System Expansion Options Controlling Two Vehicles (Car Select) The Responder LE 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 following Owner Recognition for details. 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 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. 28

32 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. 29

33 Battery Information The Responder LE remote is powered by 2 batteries (PN CR-2016) and the 1-way companion remote by 1 battery (PN CR-2032), that can be purchased at most retailers. When the battery begins to weaken, the operating range will be reduced. The information and precautions in this section can help maximize your battery s life and usage in providing your Responder LE and 1-way companion remote controls with many years of trouble free operation. Low Battery After a command is performed the Responder LE and 1way companion remote controls check their battery level and, when the level requires attention, will begin generating alerts. Once the alerts begin, the remote controls will remain operational for several days but the battery/batteries should be replaced 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, several beeps play on the Responder LE remote to indicate the battery/ batteries need replacing. Battery Life The Responder LE 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 life. However, to maximize this battery life, the following suggestions will help: 30

34 Turn Paging off: The remote will not wake up to check for messages with paging off in the setup remote menu. Note: 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. Responder LE Battery Replacement Rear View 1 2 Battery Cover Battery Clip + 1.

57 Basic Remote Functions See Owner s guide for functionality details on both the LE 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 Open a door. Turn the ignition to the ON position. 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. 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 history: 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. 16

58 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 detected by the onboard shock sensor On board 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 vehicle? 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 section 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. 17
