Battery After Removal 

5.

 

Connect the new battery and verify that a green LED light illumines.  The green LED will be solid 
once the 

ECHO

 is powered on. 

6.

 

Place the top part of the 

ECHO 

onto the bottom part, ensuring that the curved back (non-sensor end) 

of the top matches with the curved back of the 

ECHO 

bottom.   

7.

 

Tighten the screws beginning with the middle screws on either side of the unit and tighten, not 
completely, until secure. Then tighten, again not completely, the remaining screws in an alternating 
sequence (for example: front left, back right, front right, back left).  Once all screws are secure, fully 
tighten to complete reassembly. Tighten until they no longer turn but be sure not to over tighten.  Stop 
tightening once there is any resistance when turning the screw.  

Note:

  Opening the cover to the monitor enclosure during battery pack replacement increases the 

risk of damaging or introducing debris or moisture to the circuit board.  Make every effort to 
prevent water, dirt, and debris from contacting the monitor's circuit board during routine 
maintenance.  

8.

 

Call the monitor or connect to the monitor on site using a Bluetooth connection cable to verify 
communication. 

Replacing the SIM Card in the Monitor 

The 

ECHO

 monitor performs wireless communications through an internal modem that is supported by a 

SIM card located inside the monitor enclosure in a holder on the PCB.  The SIM card typically requires 
replacement only upon failure, which is rare, or when a change in a wireless carrier occurs. The 

ECHO

 

comes with a SIM card pre-installed.  If a SIM card not supplied by ADS is to be used, the installed SIM 
card will need to be replaced. 

Certain static IPs may be used for communicating wirelessly through the 

QstartXML

™

 software platform 

or networks supporting ADS hosted system software.  The service must support Mobile Terminated service 
as well as Mobile-Originated (for alarm cry out) functionality.  Communication with an 

ECHO 

requires 

entering the IP address for the location in the 

QstartXML

 software. 

When using a static IP with a 

public

 IP address, the PC must have internet connectivity.  When using a 

static IP with a 

private

 IP address, the PC first must establish a VPN connection with the provider.  (Please 

consult ADS Client Services for more information on using private addresses.)  Then, the user can connect 
to the monitor through 

QstartXML

, provided the location has been properly configured.
