Features

Product Overview: The Echo-2 is a modular two-way remote controller/pager transceiver designed for use with compatible Omega vehicle security systems, including the Crime Guard i4, i5 (except 350i5), and i6 series. The Echo-2 can be used with existing 1-way remotes supplied with the alarms. The remote transceiver has a 1-1/4" LCD screen which indicates the current status of your vehicle. It operates on one "AAA" battery (supplied). Note: Echo-2 is not compatible with previous Crime Guard alarm systems, such as "i", "i2", or "i3" systems.

Operating Range: The Echo-2's powerful transceiver has an extended operating range of approximately 1,500 feet.

LCD Screen: The remote transceiver's backlit LCD screen has various icons which indicate the security system's status. You can select the type of vehicle icon used in the LCD screen: passenger car, pickup truck, or an SUV/Van. When the remote transceiver is used to operate the system, it receives back a signal which causes it to display the appropriate icon, in addition to chirping (emulating the siren). The LCD screen displays the following icons:

• Alert Icons: The following icons appear when the alarm is in the alert mode:
  • Hood/Trunk: This icon indicates this zone on the vehicle has been violated.
  • Crossed-out Key: This icon appears if the system aborts a remote start attempt because of a violated safety circuit.
  • Carjack: This icon indicates if the carjack operation has been activated by any of three methods.
  • Hammer and Impact: The impact icon appears briefly (and the remote chirps three times) to indicate the shock sensor has detected a light impact causing the system to prewarn. The full hammer & impact icon appears continually if the sensor detects a harder impact or breaking glass.
  • Door: The door icon indicates the system has been activated via the door detection circuit.
  • Start: The start icon confirms remote starting, and puffs of smoke periodically appear behind the vehicle icon to indicate the engine is running.
  • Numeric Icons: The 2 or 3 icons appear to confirm the use of the 2nd or 3rd output channel on the alarm system.
  • Mute: The vibrating Mute indicates the chirps or melodies have been turned off.
• Digital Clock: The clock has a 12-hour display with an AM and PM indication. The digital readout also shows how many Echo transceivers and one-way transmitters can operate the system.
• Disarm/Arm: The remote indicates whether the status of the alarm system: Armed or Disarmed. (Neither icon appears in Valet mode.)
• Locked/Unlocked Padlock: The icon reflects the true locked or unlocked status of the doors.
• Valet: The Valet icon replaces the Armed or Disarmed icons, and a musical tone occurs when placing the system into Alarm Valet Mode.
• Battery Low: This icon appears when the transceiver's battery needs to be changed.

User-Programmable Features: The Echo transceiver has several user-programmable features:

• Chirp/Mute: You can turn chirps on or off, or set to vibrate.
• Vehicle Type: Select the vehicle icon for the LCD--passenger car, pickup truck, or van/SUV.
• Time Adjust: You can adjust the time on the built-in clock.
• Start/Stop Melody: You can select any of the 5 available Start melodies when using a remote starter. You can also select any of the 5 melodies that play when the remote start engine run period ends.

Controls: The Echo 2 has the same 4 operational buttons as the standard Crime Guard remote transmitter, plus a 5th button. You can find the following buttons on the remote transceiver:

• Lock: Allows you to arm the system and lock the vehicle's doors
• Unlock: Allows you to disarm the system and unlock the vehicle's doors.
• 2 Button: For operating the 2nd channel output (typically a remote trunk release)
• 3 Button: For operating the remote panic or the 3rd channel output (typically for remote start)
• P Button: This 5th button, not found on standard remotes, is the Programming button. You can turn the LCD backlight on for 10 seconds, or change the custom features found on the Echo.

Installation: The base transmitter/receiver can be mounted directly to an interior glass surface via the attached adhesive pad for the best operating range. The supplied harness connects from the base transmitter/receiver to the Echo port on the side of the alarm system control module (alarm brain), as well as the LED and Valet Switch plugs.

• Base Transmitter/Receiver: W=1.358", H=3.268", D=0.654"
