3.2 DT400 Display Basics
1. The DT400 handheld has two throttles called the left throttle (L) and
the right throttle (R).
2. There are two direction indicators
on the DT400. One for the L
throttle and one for the R Throttle. If the direction indicator is lit,
and there is smoke over the loco icon
there is an address
selected on that throttle.
3. The direction indicator with blinking smoke
indicates which
throttle is currently active. The active throttle is the one for which
function and text information is currently displayed on the LCD
screen. Also, keypad entries control functions for the active throttle.
4. The direction indicator shows the direction of travel of a DCC
equipped loco selected on that throttle,
for reverse and
for
forward. If you are running an analog loco, the direction indicator
will only indicate change in track polarity and will not necessarily
match the direction of travel of an analog loco.
5. The current mode of operation is shown in center of the bottom line of
the display. The normal operating mode is Fn or Function Mode for
running trains. In this mode, the throttle knobs and direction keys
control the speed and direction of the locos. The Y + & N- Keys
can also be used to increase or decrease speed. The numeric keypad
is used for direct access to functions.
