How to use

Connect the Echo 13 to your computer using the included Thunderbolt 5 cable to enable data, video, network, and power delivery through a single connection. Install any necessary drivers if prompted by your operating system and use the internal Kingston M.2 NVMe SSD like any external drive for file storage or backups. Attach monitors to the Thunderbolt ports or use compatible adapters for HDMI/DisplayPort, and connect USB peripherals, an Ethernet cable, and memory cards as required.

Recommendations

For maximum internal SSD performance (up to 6000 MB/s) use a Thunderbolt 5 compatible computer. To benefit from 2.5GbE speeds, connect the dock to a switch or NAS that supports 2.5Gb Ethernet and use Cat5e or better cabling. For laptop charging at full 140W, confirm your laptop accepts USB Power Delivery at that wattage.
