Government regulations
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(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 instal-
lation. 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
The following safety warnings must be observed at all times:
Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this product must only be
performed by an authorized Directed dealer.
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
toggle switch. 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 INSTALL A
CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJA-
CENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIVING
AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE STORAGE
AREA MUST AT ALL TIMES REMAIN CLOSED. These precautions are the sole
responsibility of the user.
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 installer 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•

8© 2008 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved.
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the parking/emergen-
cy brake properly functions. Failure to do so can result in personal injury or prop-
erty damage. We recommend the owner have the parking / emergency brake
system inspected and adjusted by a qualified automotive shop bi-annually.
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 x 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.
OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN
GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPERAT-
ING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT
IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY
CEASE THE USE OF THE UNIT AND SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF AN AU-
THORIZED Directed DEALER TO REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED
REMOTE START MODULE. DIRECTED WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR
PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.

Important information
Congratulations on the purchase of your state-of-the-art remote start and
alarm system. Due to the complexity of this system, it must be installed
by an authorized dealer only. Installation of this product by anyone
other than an authorized dealer voids the warranty. All dealers are
provided with a preprinted dealer certificate to verify authorization.
By carefully reading this Owner’s Guide prior to using your system,
you will maximize the use of this system and its features. You can print
additional or replacement copies of this manual by accessing our web
site at www.directed.com.
➢Your warranty
Your warranty registration must be completely filled out and returned
within 10 days of purchase. Your product warranty will not be validat-

ed if your warranty registration is not returned. Make sure you receive
the warranty registration from your dealer. It is also necessary to keep
your proof of purchase, which reflects that the product was installed by
an authorized dealer.
➢Replacement remotes
Your system comes with one Responder LC remote control (P/N 7752V)
and one companion remote control (P/N 7652V). If additional remotes
are desired, please see your authorized dealer or visit www.directed-
store.com to order.
➢Out of Range Notification
If a command is issued from the remote, but the remote is beyond the
range of the vehicle to receive the command, the remote will respond
with an Out of Range notification. If this occurs, the remote will emit a
harsh tone and the out of range indicator will appear.
Since conditions will vary in different areas (ie: Weather, RF interfer-
ence, etc) range may be affected and require you to be closer to the
vehicle for successful transmission.
➢System maintenance
The system requires no specific maintenance. Your One way remote is
powered by small coin cell lightweight 3-volt lithium battery that will last
approximately one year under normal use. The 1-way remote uses one
CR2032 cell battery. The 2-way remote contains a non-replaceable
rechargeable battery. When the battery begins to weaken, the operat-
ing range will be reduced.

➢Charging the Battery
Plug in the USB charger (alternately a standard mini USB cable•
connected to any standard USB port on any laptop or desktop
computer can also be used (cable not included)).
The LCD displays “CHARGE” while the battery level bars within •
the battery icon flash, displaying the current charge level as the
battery charges.
When charging is complete the LCD then displays “FULL”. •
Note: If the battery has been severely discharged all remote functions
are disabled for a short charge period. The battery status outline flashes
and CHARGE is displayed on the LCD. Once the battery has accu-
mulated enough charge for functionality, the LCD icons initialize with
a beep sound, the battery status outline stops flashing and the remote
becomes operational while still displaying CHARGE.

Warning! The temperature range over which
the battery can be charged is 0ºC TO 45ºC
(32ºF TO 113ºF). Charging the battery at
temperatures outside this range may cause
severe damage to the battery or reduce bat-
tery life expectancy.
➢Low battery indicator
When the batteries are low on the 2-way remote it will emit two groups
of beeps, the battery icon will ash and the text will display low batt,
the alarm then emits an additional chirp upon disarming of the alarm to
let you know its time to change the battery. When the battery is low on
the 1-way remote, the remote responds the same, but without the icons
available on the two way remote.
