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 LSC 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.
