Shashlyk-type electromagnetic calorimeter (ECal) of the Multi-Purpose Detector at heavy-ion NICA collider is optimized to provide precise spatial and energy measurements for photons and electrons in the energy range from about 40 MeV to 2-3 GeV. To deal with high multiplicity of secondary particles from Au-Au reactions, ECal has a fine segmentation and consists of 38,400 cells (towers). Given the big number of towers and the time constraint, it is not possible to calibrate every ECal tower with beam. In this paper, we describe the strategy of the first-order calibration of ECal with cosmic muons.
