Troubleshooting the Wireless Connection
If you cannot connect two compatible ECHOMAP devices wirelessly, check the following items and try again.
• If you are connecting an ECHOMAP Ultra 2 device and a ECHOMAP UHD2 5/7 cv device, you must set up the
ECHOMAP Ultra 2 as the network host. A ECHOMAP Ultra 2 device cannot connect to a ECHOMAP UHD2 5/7
cv device set up as the host.
• Ensure the two devices are within range (32 m (105 ft.)).
• Check for signal obstructions between the devices, especially metal.
• Turn the devices off and on again, and try to connect again.
