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.

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
© 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 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.
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.

➤ Replacement remotes
Your system comes with two Responder remote controls (P/N 7153V).
If additional remotes are desired, please see your authorized dealer or
➤ 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 remote uses one
CR2032 cell battery. When the battery begins to weaken, the operat-
ing range will be reduced.
➤ Low battery indicator
When the batteries are low the alarm then emits an additional chirp
upon disarming of the alarm to let you know its time to change the
remote battery.
Note: The Arm/Disarm chirps should be programmed ON for the
alarm to emit any additional chirps during disarm. Ask your authorized
dealer if you have any questions.
➤ Battery Replacement
Slide the door up to expose the battery beneath the holder. Remove the
expired battery. Place the new battery into the remote control. When
power is returned the remote control is ready for use.
➤ Two Car Operation
You can use the remote control system for two cars with full command
capability for both vehicles.

Using the system
➤ Arming the system
To arm the system, press the
button on the remote control.
The siren in the vehicle will “chirp” once and the parking lights will flash
once. If the power door locks have been connected, the doors will
lock. The system will automatically check for errors when it arms.
If errors are found when arming:
If an alarm trigger zone – such as a door, the trunk, the hood, or a
sensor, was active at the time of arming, the system will “bypass”, or
ignore, this trigger zone. This allows the system to continue to protect
your vehicle using the remaining trigger zones.
You are notified of this active zone immediately after arming the system.
The siren in the vehicle will “chirp” again and the parking lights will
flash again. The Status LED indicator in the vehicle will blink in a pattern
to indicate the active zone number error which was found (See Table
of Zones on page 34).
Arming without the chirp (Silent Arm):
Press the
button at the bottom of the remote once, and then press
the button. The system will arm without the confirmation chirp. The
parking lights will flash once.

Alarm Responses
The security system can generate two levels of alarm: Warn Away - Soft
siren chirps and flashing parking lights.
The purpose of Warn-Away is to warn a would-be thief next to your
vehicle that the vehicle is protected, but in a manner that does not call
attention to it from more than a few feet away.
Full Alarm Trigger
Sounds the siren at maximum volume and flashes the parking lights.
The default duration of the Full Alarm is 30 seconds. This can be pro-
grammed to any duration from 30 to 60 seconds manually. Ask your
authorized dealer for details.
Warn-Away response is triggered by:
•
•
•
Lesser or lighter vibrations or impacts (detected by the Stinger
Doubleguard shock sensor)
Opening a door: the Progressive Door Trigger feature will sound
the Warn Away response, followed immediately by Full Alarm
Any attempt to start the car: the Progressive Ignition Trigger will
first sound the Warn Away response, followed immediately by Full
Alarm.
•
An optional Proximity Sensor (508D) triggered in the outer zone.
Full Alarm response is triggered by:
•
Heavier impact to the vehicle (detected by the Stinger Double-
Guard shock sensor).
•
•
Opening the trunk or hood (if connected).
Opening a door: the Progressive Door Trigger feature will first
sound the Warn-Away response, followed immediately by Full
Alarm.
•
An optional sensor, such as an optional Proximity Sensor triggered
in the inner zone.

Note: Call the police immediately if you witness a crime in progress.
➤ Modified Arming Modes
The Responder gives you an unprecedented level of control over how
it will protect your car. “Normal arming” means that all the Responder
security features are active automatically. You can turn some security
features off on a one-time basis.

the number of flashes between pauses. This number is important, it tells
what triggered your alarm. See Disarming section under Diagnostics on
page 33 for more details.
If you hear five chirps on disarming, the system was repeatedly trig-
gered in your absence. Immediately look at the Status LED in the vehicle
and count the number of flashes between pauses. This number is impor-
tant, it tells what triggered your alarm.
The door locks (if connected) will unlock, and the parking lights will
flash.
While the alarm is triggering:
Press the
button on the remote. The siren will stop sounding and
disarm the alarm system.

Note: An optional push button can be hard wired to the (-) activation
input (H1/10) on the remote start. This allows the user to activate the
turbo timer without having to use the remote.
When the vehicle is running follow the procedures listed above, but
instead of pressing the remote, press the push button the appropriate
number of times to activate the remote start (factory setting is for 1
pulse). Turn off the ignition and exit the vehicle. The car remains running
for the pre-programmed amount of time.
➤ Smart start
With Smart Start you can activate remote start when the vehicle reaches
a certain temperature, or when it reaches a certain voltage.
The factory setting for temperature high is 100º, and the low is 0º (F).
The voltage setting is 10.5v. These settings can be adjusted or turned
off by your installer using the Bitwriter.

➤ Valet take-over
The Valet take-over feature allows the vehicle to remain running after
the key has been removed from the ignition. This feature is useful for
occasions when you wish to exit and lock the vehicle for short periods
of time, but would like to leave the motor running and the climate
controls on.
To perform Valet take-over:
1. Before turning off the engine, press and release
mitter. Then wait a few seconds.

2. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position (The engine will stay
running).
3. The engine will run until the pre-programmed time elapses or a
shut-down input is received.
Note: To enable Valet take-over with a manual transmission, open the
door and enter into manual transmission mode, as described above.
The parking lights flash five times when entering Valet take-over. Once
you exit the vehicle you can lock the system and the car will remain
running. If the vehicle shuts down when locking, then the unit did not
enter valet take-over mode.

Safety features
This system has several important safety features to ensure proper op-
eration of the motor and prevent accidental damage to the engine or
its components.
➤ Starter anti-grind circuitry
Whenever the vehicle is remote started, advanced anti-grind circuitry
prevents the starter from engaging, even if the key is turned to the start
position. This prevents damage to the starter motor if the key is turned
to the start position during remote start operation.
Note: Anti-grind circuitry only works when the remote start system is
operating the motor and the Failsafe® Starter Kill relay is installed.
➤ Disabling the remote start system
This feature allows the remote start unit to be temporarily disabled
to prevent the vehicle from being remote started accidentally. This
feature is useful when the vehicle is being serviced or stored in an
enclosed area.
To disable the remote start, move the shutdown toggle switch to the
OFF position. Check with your installer for the location.

Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly monitoring
all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It is designed to detect
any faulty switches and sensors and prevent them from disabling the
entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any trig-
gers that occurred during your absence.
Refer to System Status Chirps and Table of Zones sections of this guide
for diagnostic information.
➤ Arming
If the security system is armed at the same time that an input is active
(such as a door opening or sensor triggering), you will hear one siren
chirp to indicate arming and a second siren chirp to indicate Bypass
Notification.
A Bypass Notification chirp means that the security system ignores
the input that was active when the system was armed, until that input
ceases. Three seconds after that input ceases, the security system will
resume normal monitoring.
For example: if your vehicle has an interior light exit delay and you arm
your security system before the interior light turns off, you may hear a
second Bypass Notification chirp.
Once the light turns off, however, the security system resumes normal
monitoring.
Note: Bypass Notification does not occur when the system is in Silent
Mode or if the notification chirps have been programmed off by the
installer.
© 2008 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved.
33
➤ Disarming
Extra chirps heard when disarming the system are the Tamper Alert.
If four chirps are heard when disarming the system, then the security
system was triggered in your absence.
If five chirps are heard when disarming the system, the system was
triggered so many times that the Nuisance Protection® Circuitry has
bypassed the intended zone. In either case, the status LED will indicate
which zone was involved (see Table of Zones).
The security system will retain this information in its memory, and chirp
four or five times each time it is disarmed, until the next time that the
ignition is turned on.
➤ System status chirps
The siren will chirp when arming/disarming the system. The pattern of
chirps will audibly report the system’s status as described below.

➤ Table of zones
A zone is represented by the number of LED flashes used by the system
to identify a particular type of input. Standard input assignments are
listed in the following table, along with spaces to write in any optional
sensors or switches that have been installed.

➤ Interpreting zone diagnostics
Warn Away responses are not reported by arming or disarming diag-
nostics. If you receive a Bypass notification when arming or a Tamper
Alert notification when disarming, look at the LED.
Active or triggered zones will be indicated by a pattern of blinks by
the LED.
For example: If zone 3 was active or triggered, the LED will blink three
times with a two-second pause. Then it will blink three times again, and
repeat until the ignition is turned on.
➤ Nuisance prevention® circuitry
Your system has Directed’s Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry (NPC). It
prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin
switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers,
airport noise, etc.
For example: If the alarm triggers three times within a 60-minute period
and each time the same sensor or switch triggers the alarm, NPC will
© 2008 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved.
35
interpret those triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger, NPC ig-
nores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors
or switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes.
If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the security system while it is being
bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures that
a sensor that is continually being triggered will remain bypassed.
The vehicle doors are protected by NPC differently. If your security
system is triggered by an open door for three full cycles, the system will
bypass the doors until the trigger ceases.
NPC requires that you change the way you test the system since NPC
bypasses an input zone for 60 minutes. If the system “sees” the same
zone trigger three times, and the triggers are spaced less than an hour
apart, the system bypasses that input zone for 60 minutes.
If that zone does not attempt to trigger the system during the 60-minute
bypass period, the zone’s monitoring begins again at the end of the
hour. If it does attempt to trigger while bypassed, the 60-minute bypass
starts over again.
Disarming and rearming the system does not reset NPC. The only way
to reset NPC™ is for the 60 minutes to pass without a trigger, or for
the ignition to be turned on. This allows the system to be repeatedly
triggered, disarmed and rearmed, and still allows NPC to bypass a
faulty zone.
When disarming the system, 5 chirps indicate NPC is activated. The
LED reports the zone that has been bypassed. (See Diagnostics section
of this guide.)

Owner recognition
Owner Recognition lets up to four users of the system have unique set-
tings that meet their specific needs. It is almost like having four separate
alarms in your vehicle, one for each user. This feature is only available
to authorized dealers using the Bitwriter or Bitwriter 2 program tool.
Rapid resume logic
This Directed system will store its current state to non-volatile memory.
If power is lost and then reconnected the system will recall the stored
state from memory.
For example, if the unit is in Valet Mode and the battery is disconnected
for any reason, such as servicing the car, when the battery is recon-
nected the unit will still be in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the
system including arm, disarm, and Valet Mode.
© 2008 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved.
37
Power saver mode
Your system will automatically enter Power Saver Mode while armed or
in Valet Mode, after a period of time in which no operation has been
performed. This lowers the current draw on the vehicle’s battery. Power
Saver Mode takes over under the following conditions:
Power Saver when the system is armed: After the system has been
armed for 24 hours the LED will flash at half its normal rate, decreasing
the system’s current draw.
Power Saver in Valet Mode: When the system enters Valet Mode the
Status LED on the Responder LE control center illuminates steadily. If the
vehicle is not used (ignition is not turned on) for a one hour period while
the system is in Valet Mode, the status LED will shut off. If the system
remains in Valet Mode, the LED will come back on the next time the
ignition is turned on and then back off.

Programming options
Your system has many custom programmable options. Some may re-
quire installation labor. Ask your authorized dealer for details.
The following is a list of the programmable options, with the factory
settings in Bold.
•
Active arming (remote only) passive arming with or without locking
the doors (automatic arming without locking the doors 30 seconds
after the last door has been closed), or Auto Re-arm with or without
locking the doors (Automatically arms 60 seconds after disarm if
no door is opened).
Arming/disarming siren chirps ON with or without Warn-away chirps,
Or OFF with or without Warn-away chirps.
•
Ignition controlled door lock feature ON or OFF: When this fea-
ture is programmed on, the doors will lock three seconds after the
ignition is turned on, and unlock when the ignition is turned off.
If your installer is programming the security system with the Directed
Bitwriter®, ignition lock and unlock are independent features that can
be programmed separately.
•
Panic mode enabled/disabled when the ignition is turned on or
completely turned OFF. (Some states have laws against sirens
sounding in moving cars.)
•
Full trigger response 30 or 60 seconds: This determines how long
the full triggered sequence lasts. Some states have laws regulating
© 2008 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved.
39
how long a security system can sound before it is considered a
nuisance.
•
•
If your installer is programming the security system with the Di-
rected Bitwriter®, the full triggered response can be programmed
for any duration ranging from 1 to 180 seconds.
Siren tones and chirp volume: The output of the Revenger™Soft
Chirp™ siren consists of six different tones in sequence. Any of
these tones can be eliminated by a dealer, resulting in a unique,
easily identifiable siren sound. The chirps can be either full volume
or 6 decibels quieter than the full alarm blast.
•
Comfort closure is a programming option which closes the ve-
hicle’s windows after remote locking.

Security & convenience expansions
Listed below are some of the many expansion options available. Please
consult your dealer for a complete explanation of all the options avail-
able to you.
Audio Sensor: Metal on glass, glass cracking, and breaking
glass produce distinctive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio sensor
uses a microphone to pick up sounds, then analyzes them with propri-
etary acoustic software to determine if the glass has been struck.
Backup Battery: The 520T keeps the system armed, triggers the alarm
and keeps the starter interrupt active if main battery is disconnected.
Digital Tilt Sensor: The 507M tilt sensor can be added to your system
to protect your car when its parked. It can protect your vehicle from be-
ing lifted and provide protection for your expensive rims.
Field Disturbance Sensor: An invisible dome of coverage is established
by installing the 508D “radar” sensor. Your system can react to any
intrusions into this field with the full triggered sequence.
Power Locks: This system offers lock outputs that can control some manu-
facturers’ power door lock systems. For other systems, additional parts
may be required.
Power Trunk Release: The accessory output of the system can operate
a factory power release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch. Although the
on-board relay can control most power trunk releases, sometimes an
optional relay is required. If the factory release is not power-activated,
Directed®’s 522T trunk release solenoid can often be added.

41
Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is provided
with the 529T and 530T systems. These can operate power windows,
and can roll them up automatically when the system is armed, roll them
down, or both up and down.
Ultrasonic Cabin Sensor: Using the 509U Ultrasonic cabin sensor pro-
vides a field of protection inside the car to protect your belongings.
Glossary of terms
Control Center: The control center contains the system’s radio-frequency
antenna, the valet and override switch, and the Status LED.
For maximum remote-control range, the Control Center is usually lo-
cated at the top of the windshield, centered near the rear-view mirror.
Control Module: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden underneath
the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which moni-
tors your vehicle and controls all of the alarm’s Functions.
Failsafe® Starter Kill (if equipped): An automatic switch controlled by
the security system which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking
whenever the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from
cranking when the system is disarmed, in Valet® Mode, or should the
starter kill switch itself fail. Your system is ready for this feature, however
installation of this feature may require additional labor.
Input: Any physical connection to the security system. An input can
be provided through a sensor, pin-switch or by existing systems in the
vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.
In-vehicle status LED: A light used to indicate the status of your system.
It is located on your systems control center.
Shock Sensor: This system has a dual zone shock sensor. This sensor is
mounted in the vehicle and designed to pick up impacts to the vehicle
or glass.
Trigger or Triggered Sequence: This is what happens when the alarm
“goes off ” or “trips.” The triggered sequence of your system consists

43
of the siren sounding and parking lights flashing for the programmed
duration.
Valet Button: A small push button switch located on your systems control
center. It is used to override the starter interrupt when a 2-way remote is
lost or damaged, or to enter or exit Valet Mode.
Warn Away® Response: Light impacts to the vehicle generate the
Warn Away® Response, which consists of several seconds of horn
honks and flashing parking lights.
Zone: A zone is a separate input that the alarm can recognize as
unique. Each input to the system is connected to a particular zone.
Often, two or more inputs may share the same zone.
