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
Note 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.
