TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Streaming from Apple devices
On Apple devices, it is possible to stream all audio from your iPhone/iPad to the EC Living via “AirPlay”. This is represented by this symbol

We recommend not using “AirPlay” when playing from Spotify and Tidal. Instead, use our EC PLAY App to control playback.
For Spotify, use Spotify connect, as represented in the Spotify App by the device icon. This will allow EC Living to stream directly from the internet, which optimizes the bandwidth, and saves battery life on your iPhone/iPad.

Connecting to WiFi
We recommend that the EC Living has a link quality of a minimum of 70%, and better than 40 Mb/s link speed. This can be verified in our App, in the  More -> Network menu. Higher link quality and speed are recommended for a better user experience. We recommend a wireless AC router with MIMO  technology for maximum performance.

Resetting your system
If your system acts strangely, it can be reset to its default settings by using a paperclip to press the RESET button on the rear side of the unit ( see illustration “rear panel overview at page 11”) The yellow led will blink a few times, after which the green led on top of the speaker will start to blink. The unit will have restarted into the initial setup and you can then follow the steps in this quick start guide. To fully reset the software of the system, please go to the Firmware and Software chapter under support on www.electrocompaniet.com and follow the instructions for software download.

“SET UP with Apple iOS phone or tablet”
Tana speakers can wirelessly be set up from within the EC Play app if you have an iOS® phone or tablet, with Apple Wireless Accessory Configuration.  When the Tana SL-2 is powered up for the first time and not connected to the network with a cable, the yellow led lights up, indicating the unit is not connected to any networks. After 15 seconds, a green LED lights up indicating the unit is ready for setup with WAC. Make sure the phone or tablet is connected to the wireless network you want the Tana SL-2 to be connected to.
Open the EC Play app and tap the “setup a new room”. The Tana SL-2 will be visible, choose it. now you can choose which network the Tana SL-2 should connect to. (The default is the network your phone, or tablet is connected to). Choose the network and tap “continue”. After the wireless settings are transferred to the speaker, it will connect to the wireless network and be ready for use.
