• When the system does send a signal to the Echo transceiver, a few seconds is needed for this
“handshake” to occur. If the system is operated rapidly, as in quickly repeating arm and disarm
cycles, the Echo will not have time to receive the signal from the system, and therefore it will stop
responding and reporting the system’s status. This symptom does not occur in normal operation.
• A final point to remember is that the Echo transceiver cannot receive a signal from the host alarm
system while it itself is transmitting. For normal operations, the Echo’s buttons are pressed and
released. Even when “Panic” is operated, the Echo button should be released as soon as “Panic”
engages. Otherwise, the Echo cannot receive the signal from the system.
Programming the Omega Echo:
The optional Omega Echo transceiver has several user-programmable features:
✓
Chirp or Mute The chirps may be turned off, and replaced with vibration.
✓
Vehicle Type Choices are a passenger car, pickup truck, or van/SUV.
✓
Time Adjust To set the Echo’s clock time.
✓
Start Melody; and Stop Melody These are played with remote starting.
Programming these features is a sequential process- the controller is placed into programming mode, then
each programmable operation is accessed in turn, and either changed as desired, or left as is, and then the
next step is accessed. Programming is done using the Echo unit’s three round side buttons:
A-
At this time Chirp or Mute can be chosen by pressing the “:” button for 1 second.
B-
Hold this button for 5 seconds to enter programming mode.
OR
1) Press and
hold the
“P” button
2) After 5 seconds the Echo chirps twice; release the “P” button
; the upper rear of the
vehicle will flash; Vehicle Type may be chosen now.
