Connecting the Echo Adapter

 •  Connect the Echo adapter to your computer or another 

Thunderbolt device using only a Thunderbolt cable.

 •  Connect the Echo adapter directly to your computer, or to another 

peripheral device at the end of the Thunderbolt daisy chain 

connected to your computer.

Inserting and Removing Cards

•  Do not force a card into the slot, as you may damage the card or 

the slot connector.

• To insert a card, push it straight into the slot until it stops.

•  To remove a card, pull it straight out.

•  If you are using an ExpressCard/34 card to which you connect 

cables, always connect the cables to the adapter card before 

inserting it into the Echo adapter’s slot.

Before Using the Echo Adapter

Prior to using the Echo adapter with your computer, familiarize 

yourself with the adapter and any cards you plan to use.
