This document describes a state-of-the-art security and remote start system, specifically the Viper 5706V Responder LC, manufactured by Directed. Directed is a company known for providing vehicle security and accessories, holding numerous patents and innovation awards in advanced electronic technology. Their products are sold and serviced globally.
The core of the system is the Responder LC Remote Control, a two-way communication device that allows users to interact with their vehicle's security and remote start features. It features an internal antenna for transmitting and receiving information. The remote control has a comprehensive display that serves as a status screen, showing icons for the system, siren, alarm zones, remote start, and the remote control itself. A text field on the display shows the clock, runtime, or temperature during remote start, as well as command confirmations, page messages, and programming menus. Four command buttons are used for arming, disarming, auxiliary channel control, and remote start commands. A dedicated function button (f) provides access to function levels for advanced commands, configuration menus for programming, car selection, and requesting reports. The remote also includes a Mini-USB Port for charging, located on its side.
The system communicates with a Control Center, typically located on the upper part of the vehicle's front windshield. This Control Center acts as the in-vehicle system antenna for two-way communication. It also features a Status LED, which provides a visual indicator of the system's status, and a Control button, used for placing the system into Valet Mode and performing Emergency Override operations.
The Responder LC Remote Control's display uses various icons to convey system status. For system status, icons indicate whether the system is armed, locked in Valet mode, disarmed, or unlocked in Valet mode. Siren status icons show if the siren is disabled for sensor triggers (remote paged for all triggers, known as Sensor Silent Arm) or disabled for all triggers (remote paged for all triggers, known as Full Silent Arm). Remote start status icons indicate when remote start is active and the engine is running, or when Timer Start is enabled (with or without an arrow head to distinguish if Remote Start is off). Additional remote start icons show if Smart Start is on, if Manual Transmission Start mode is enabled, and display the vehicle's interior temperature. During remote start, an icon may appear after a Defogger On command. Zone status icons indicate warn-away and full trigger message output, trunk zone full trigger output, and auxiliary/trunk channel activation. Fault report icons appear to indicate an open trunk, active sensor, open door, or open hood, which are bypassed when arming.
The remote control status icons provide information about the remote itself. Bars indicate the battery level (Full, ¾, ½, ¼, or Empty). Icons show when the remote is transmitting a command, receiving a message, or if it failed to receive a command confirmation (accompanied by an Out of Range fault tone). Pager on/off icons indicate whether the remote will wake up to listen for messages. Other icons show if the remote will vibrate or emit beeps and tones when messages are received. The text field displays the clock, runtime, temperature, message text, and feature menus. Icons also confirm when "Garage Open" or "Garage Closed" messages have been received (these require the remote to be paired with an optional garage door opener). A "Car 2" icon is present only when Car 2 is turned on in the Setup Remote configuration menu.
Using the system involves both basic and advanced commands. Basic commands, which control frequently used security and remote start features, are performed by directly pressing one of the command buttons while the text field displays the clock, temperature, or runtime (Direct Access level). Advanced commands, for more specialized features and reports, require first accessing one of the Function Levels (LEVEL 1, 2, 3, or 4) and then pressing a command button within that level. Command confirmations are provided through siren chirps, parking light flashes, and text, icons, beeps, or tones on the remote control.
For example, to perform a Silent Arm (an advanced command), the user presses the f button once to access Function Level 1. While "LEVEL 1" is displayed, pressing the lock button performs the Silent Arm command. The remote will then display "SILENT ARMED" and update the status screen icons.
The system also provides fault condition alerts. If a command cannot be activated due to an existing condition (e.g., an open door when trying to arm), the remote will display "NOT AVAILABLE" or "REMOTE START ERROR" text and play a fault tone.
Basic commands include Arm, Disarm, AUX/Trunk, and Remote Start.
The Responder LC's configuration settings are managed through the Main Menu. Navigating menus and options, changing settings, and exiting are done using the remote control buttons. The f button is used to access menus, set options, and perform actions displayed in the text field. The AUX and unlock buttons are used to scroll through menu lists. The lock or unlock buttons are used to exit configuration. To access the Main Menu, the f button is pressed and held for 8 seconds until "MAIN MENU" is displayed. Releasing f shows "SETUP REMOTE," indicating access to the Main Menu. Users can then use the AUX or unlock buttons to change features/options and the f button to select a feature and view/set its options.
A 1-way companion remote control is also available, which operates similarly but without the message display of the Responder LC remote. Commands are confirmed via siren chirps and parking light flashes. Basic commands are performed by direct button presses. Advanced commands are accessed by pressing the f button one to four times, with an LED flashing to indicate the function level before the command button is pressed.
Maintenance features include battery information. The Responder LC remote control has an internal rechargeable battery that can only be serviced by an authorized Directed dealer. Users are warned against using non-provided cables or unspecified power sources for charging to prevent injury, damage, or explosion. The 1-way companion remote uses a 3V coin cell lithium battery (PN CR-2032) with an approximate one-year lifespan. Directed encourages proper battery disposal according to municipal requirements.
The document also includes important government regulations and safety warnings. It emphasizes that installation of this complex system must be performed by an authorized Directed dealer. For remote start capable vehicles, it warns against operating the system in enclosed or partially enclosed areas without ventilation (like a garage) and stresses the user's responsibility to disable the system when servicing the vehicle and to keep remote controls out of reach of children to prevent unintentional remote starts. It mandates the installation of a carbon monoxide detector in or near the living area adjacent to the vehicle's storage area and requires all connecting doors to remain closed.
For manual transmission vehicles, specific procedures must be followed: leaving the vehicle in neutral, ensuring no one is in front or behind the vehicle, remote starting only on a flat surface, and fully engaging the parking brake. The owner is responsible for ensuring the parking/emergency brake functions properly, with biannual inspections recommended. The document explicitly states that using the product contrary to its intended mode of operation (e.g., remote starting with the vehicle in gear or keys in the ignition) can result in property damage, personal injury, or death. It requires periodic checks of the neutral safety feature by an authorized Directed dealer. If the vehicle starts in gear during testing, remote start operation must cease immediately, and the dealer must fix the problem. The remote start module must be properly installed and tested, and any issues must be addressed by an authorized dealer. The product is designed for fuel-injected vehicles only, and its use in standard transmission vehicles must strictly adhere to the guide. It should not be installed in convertible vehicles or soft/hard top manual transmission vehicles due to potential risks.
All radio devices are subject to interference, which may affect performance. Any upgrades or battery installations must be performed by an authorized dealer, and unauthorized modifications are prohibited. The product is not designed to be water or heat-resistant, and exposure to water or heat will void the warranty.
Directed provides a limited lifetime consumer warranty for the original purchaser, covering repair or replacement of the unit (excluding siren, remote transmitters, sensors, and accessories) if defective in workmanship or material under reasonable use. The warranty requires purchase and professional installation/service by an authorized Directed dealer, and the unit must be reinstalled in the original vehicle by an authorized dealer. Proof of purchase is required. Components other than the main unit carry a one-year warranty. The warranty is void if the unit's date code or serial number is defaced, altered, or if the unit has been modified, misused, neglected, or improperly serviced/installed. Directed disclaims liability for third-party actions, theft, damage, or vandalism, stating that their security systems are deterrents, not guarantees or insurance. The warranty does not cover labor costs for maintenance, removal, or reinstallation. It also excludes consequential, incidental, and commercial damages. This warranty is valid for products sold in the US and Canada; products sold elsewhere are "AS-IS" without warranty.
