Diagram 4: DT400/R Battery Installation
22.3 Battery Replacement
When the battery is not supplying enough power to run your throttle in tether-
less mode, you will see your throttle display “Idle”. When this happens, plug
in to LocoNet and complete any jobs you had in progress. Loco addresses
selected on your throttle will continue running until you plug in and bring them
to a stop. Loco addresses selected will not be “lost” when the battery goes
down. Install a fresh battery and then you can unplug again and resume tether-
less operation.
23.0 Customizing Your DT400
You can set up the following options for each DT400 throttle to customize the
way it operates.
You can choose between ballistic and normal tracking, whether the fast clock is
displayed by default, whether the keys and knobs click when you operate them,
how the throttle handles new decoders, how tetherless operation works, the
brightness of the backlight in the display, whether the clock is in 24 or 12 hour
