6. Install the decoder

between the motor clips.
Press down and slide the
board back to lock the
board under the plastic
clip in the frame. Be care-
ful to keep the brass pick
up rails in position. 
7.

Bend the motor clips

down over the pads on the
decoder making sure the
Kapton tape insulates
them from the brass pick
up rails. Reinstall the plastic clip to hold the motor clips tightly against the
pads of the circuit board and the circuit board in place. If the plug is not
secure, add a piece of tape to secure the decoder against the motor clips. 

8. Reinstall the black plastic cab seat panel over the head light.

9. Place the locomotive on the track, select address 03 on your throttle and

apply power. If the motor does not respond but you can control the lights,
check the installation for motor short circuits. For this installation, be sure
the kapton tape is preventing contact between the brass pick up rails and the
brass motor clips. 

10. Replace the locomotive shell. 

11. Digitrax decoders are set up with configuration variable (CV) default values

so you can run your locomotive right away using address 03. See the
Digitrax Decoder Manual for complete instructions on setting up the CVs
for customizing your locomotive’s performance characteristics.
