Press the Power Button once to turn on your Ecotones Duet Adaptive Sound Therapy System. The small orange light next to the Power Button will light when the unit is on. Press the Power Button again to turn the unit off. CAUTION: Never turn your unit off and on by plugging and unplugging it at the wall outlet or convenience receptacle while the unit is still powered on. Power surges that occur when plugging and unplugging the unit when it is still powered on can damage the device.
What is Adaptive Mode? The Ecotones Duet has the unique ability to adapt and respond to intrusive noise in a room. The unit detects unusual or disturbing noises and adjusts the current SoundStory by adding enhanced sounds (sound richness) and/or raising the volume to reduce the prominence of the disturbance and replace it with a more soothing sound environment. The Ecotones Duet automatically detects the sound environment in a room where it is to be used to properly respond to that environment.
Page 4 USING ADAPTIVE MODE (cont’d.) Adjusting Richness Your Ecotones Duet Adaptive Sound Therapy System uses long recordings of natural sounds blended with a wide variety of short nature sounds to create the most natural possible listening environment. When Adaptive Mode is active, the short sounds are blended into the primary SoundStory to help block disturbing background noises.
NOTE: When in Adaptive Mode, Ecotones Duet is designed to react to disruptive sounds. That includes loud voices or people speaking too near the device. This works well in office environments where nearby conversations can be distracting. If you would like to have Ecotones play during a conversation without adjusting volume or richness, simply turn Adaptive Mode off.
The Sleep Timer setting is indicated by the lights next to the button. Pressing the button multiple times cycles through these settings. The Sleep Timer light for the setting you’ve chosen is centered under your selection. When all lights are off, the Sleep Timer is turned off. Turning the unit off with the Power Button automatically clears the Sleep Timer setting. Pressing the Timer Button when the unit is off will turn on the unit and set the sleep timer to the 30 minute setting.
Adaptive Mode will work the same way with external speakers as it does with Ecotones Duet’s built-in speakers, except you’ll need to adjust volume and equalization to suit your needs. Restoring Factory Settings If the Ecotones Duet behaves strangely for any reason or if you’ve simply forgotten settings changes you’ve made, it is possible to restore the unit to the factory settings. First power off the unit and then simply press and hold the Power Button for 3 seconds.
