The ECHO-TOUCH communicates with a window-mounted base unit which
is plugged directly into the host security system module. The window-mount
antenna should be mounted directly to the interior glass by utilizing the attached
adhesive pad (clean the glass before adhering) for the best performance. The
receiver/transmitter also contains alternative Status Lights and a Valet Switch.
these may be used, or the original items may be retained.
NOTE: It is recommended to fully charge the controller before use.
Step 1
Locate &
Remove the
security system’s
Echo port jumper
connector (it has a
Red wire loop).
Step 3 Program the Echo controller and the
