Key
Display
The display shows a flashing "OFF".
The power to the track is turned off.
Pressing the Stop key again restores power to the track.
All locomotives running prior to pushing Stop will start up and
accelerate to the last set speed.
If a short occurs on the track the display will display a flashing "OFF". Once the
short is cleared from the track, press the Stop button to restore power to the
track.

on the track, all trains resume operation at the speed they were set to prior to

RECALLING LOCOMOTIVES
The HandCommand has a “stack” feature which remembers the last eight loco-
motives accessed. To recall a locomotive from the stack, press either the Forward
or Reverse button (depending on the direction the locomotive is traveling)
and then the
+
or
-
button to scroll through the stack until you reach the desired
locomotive. The stack remembers the last eight locomotives acquired; any loco-
motives acquired prior to the last eight are not accessible via the stack. For exam-
ple, in a stack of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, if you access another locomotive (ie., locomo-
tive 9), the stack will forget locomotive 1 and remember 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
