Omega ECHO-3 Operation And Installation Manual page 9

• If the "MUTE" vibrating operation is selected, turning off the chirps, the remote starting
melodies are also replaced by vibration.
• The previous also applies to the musical melodies when programming- if the Echo is configured
for "MUTE" operation (vibrates instead chirping), then in programming it will not play the
musical melodies. Instead, it vibrates when the remote starting Start Melody and Stop Melody
are accessed for programming.
Other Omega Echo Notes:
• The system will only transmit a signal to the Echo transceiver if the Echo was last used to
operate the system (as in Arming, Disarming, etc). Example: if the I-way transmitter is used to
Arm the system, the system will not transmit a signal which will cause the Echo to chirp and
change its icons.
• If multiple Echo transceivers are programmed to operate the system, the system will send its
signal to only one transceiver- the last one used.
• 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 in a rapid fashion, 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. Normally
operating the system corrects this symptom.
• A final point to remember is that the Echo transceiver cannot receive a signal from the
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.
