Hey Lyle,
Yes, there is a manual override button available for that brake controller # C83HR. It pairs via the app. Once you have connected the brake controller to the Curt Echo app, you will hit the "open" option then select the Echo manual override button. After that it is just pressing the pair device button, and then holding down the manual override button until it connects to the app. I have attached the installation instructions for you below.
What kind of trailer are you towing?
