ENG ECT 4 Remote Control Start Pairing To be able to use the ECI 6DS with ECT 4 the two devices have to be paired once. In the pairing process the devices exchange some necessary data like device ID, RF address, etc. After pairing success, ECI 6DS will be added to the device selection screen of the ECT 4 and can be used. Pairing mode has to be started on both ECI 6DS and ECT 4. In addition, ECT 4 and ECI 6DS have to be in close proximity to each other.
ENG ECT 4 Remote Control 1. When pairing is successful press ENTER to select the name of the newly paired device (ECI 6DS). ( image 1 ) 2. Next step, you can select to change the key mapping for the the volume control keys (V+/V-/Mute). This will allow you to remap the volume control keys to a IR device known to ECT 4. Pressing the volume keys will then send volume changes using IR to the selected IR device. Choose "Don't change" to let the volume keys control the volume on ECI 6DS using RF. 3.

ENG Important Notice For optimal sonic performance, the ECI 6DS should be burned in for a minimum time of 72 hours. The easiest way to burn in your ECI 6DS is to put a signal at any input, without the speakers connected In daily operation, switch off the ECI 6DS by using the MUTE button on the remote control. If the ECI 6DS has been switched off, allow two hours of warm-up to optimal sonic performance. Due to high class A operation in all Electrocompaniet designs, it is normal for the ECI 6DS to feel warm.
