1.8 Connecting the remote control
If you are only using units with infrared links it is not necessary to connect the ECT
3 to the specific unit, all you have to do is to select them in the Product List.
For units with a RF connection you have to establish a link between the devices and
the ECT 3. The following products from Electrocompaniet has a RF connection: EC
4.8, EC 4.9 and EMP 1 M and S.
The remote controller uses
a two way communication
system. To know what product to control, the remote
controller has to learn a
unique serial number stored
in each product. With
this number the ECT 3
knows which units to
control.
Press and hold
button 1 while holding this button
turn on the device , until "searching
for remote" will display on unit.
Press MENU button
Go to - SETUP ECT 3 --> CONNECT
