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.
