2.2 Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the remote's internal lithium-ion battery using the provided USB charging cable. Connect the remote to a standard USB power source. The LCD will indicate charging status.
2.3 Programming the Remote to Your Vehicle
Programming the 7752V remote requires interaction with your vehicle's Viper control unit. The general steps are as follows:
- Prepare the Vehicle: Turn your vehicle's ignition to the 'ON' position (accessories on, engine off).
- Access Programming Mode: Locate the Viper control button (often a small black button, sometimes referred to as the 'Valet' or 'Program' button) on your vehicle's alarm system. Press and hold this button until the vehicle's alarm system chirps or the LED blinks every 2 seconds, indicating it is in programming mode.
- Prepare the Remote: On the 7752V remote, press and hold the 'F' (Function) button for approximately 8 seconds until the remote enters its menu.
- Navigate to Pairing: Use the 'Aux' button on the remote to scroll through the menu options until 'PAIR' is displayed on the LCD screen.
- Initiate Pairing: Once 'PAIR' is displayed, press the 'F' button again to select it. The remote will now be actively searching for the vehicle's system.
- Confirm Pairing: Within approximately 30 seconds of initiating pairing on the remote, press the 'Lock' button on the remote. The vehicle's alarm system should respond with a chirp or light flash, and the remote's LCD will confirm successful pairing.
- Exit Programming Mode: Turn the vehicle's ignition to the 'OFF' position to exit programming mode. Test the remote's functions.
Note: The exact timing and number of chirps/flashes may vary slightly depending on your specific Viper system. If pairing fails, restart the process. Refer to your vehicle's Viper system installation manual for detailed programming instructions specific to your system model.

3.3 Two-Way Communication
The 7752V remote provides two-way communication, meaning it sends commands to your vehicle and receives confirmation back. When a command is successfully executed (e.g., locking doors), the remote will provide visual feedback on its LCD screen and an audible chirp or vibration (depending on settings) to confirm the action.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Battery Charging
The remote is equipped with a USB rechargeable lithium-ion battery. When the battery icon on the LCD indicates a low charge, connect the remote to a USB power source using the provided cable. A full charge typically takes a few hours. Battery life can vary based on usage and environmental factors.
4.2 General Care
- Avoid Water Damage: While durable, the remote is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to water or extreme moisture.
- Protect the Screen: The LCD screen may have a thin protective film. While this film offers initial protection, consider adding an additional screen protector if desired. Avoid sharp objects that could scratch the display.
- Clean Gently: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the remote. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Temperature Extremes: Do not expose the remote to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) for extended periods, as this can affect battery life and performance.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Remote Not Responding
- Check Battery: Ensure the remote's battery is charged. Recharge if necessary.
- Out of Range: Move closer to your vehicle. The effective range is up to one mile in open areas but can be significantly reduced by buildings, terrain, and other obstructions.
- Re-pair Remote: If the remote has lost its programming, follow the programming steps in Section 2.3.
5.2 Pairing Difficulties
- Timing is Crucial: Ensure you complete the programming steps within the specified timeframes (e.g., the 30-second window for pressing the 'Lock' button after initiating pairing).
- System Compatibility: Double-check that your Viper system is compatible with the 7752V remote (refer to Section 2.1).
- Consult System Manual: Refer to the installation manual for your specific Viper security system for any unique programming requirements.
5.3 LCD Display Issues
