Reprogramming Command reverse unit to restore features
D
ue to the inevitable derailments, static,
and the nature of electricity, it is possi-
ble that your reverse unit could someday lose
its setup program.
The symptom of this condition would be
unresponsiveness in Command mode. This
can be easily remedied by “reprogramming”
your Command reverse unit using the follow-
ing steps.
STEP 1:
Move switch on locomotive from
RUN to PROG.
STEP 2:
Plug-in Command Base.
STEP 3:
Place locomotive on track, then
turn on power to track.
STEP 4:
Press “ENG” then input locomo-
tive’s ID#. Press “SET”.
STEP 5:
Press “ENG,” then the ID#,
“AUX1”, then press
the number 74.
STEP 6:
Turn off power to track and wait
ten seconds.
STEP 7:
Remove locomotive from track,
move switch from PROG to RUN.
STEP 8:
Place locomotive back on track,
turn power on to track.
STEP 9:
Press “ENG” and ID#, then operate
as normal.
Maintaining your locomotive’s handrail antenna
Y
our locomotive handrails are more
than just model grab irons—they’re
the antenna for receiving Command Base
digital communications.
Please handle the
locomotive carefully to avoid handrail
damage.
To ensure optimum reception, both
handrails are insulated from the die-cast
shell. If your locomotive experiences difficul-
ty receiving Base communications, check the
handrail ends in the cab and pilot for the
presence of insulating material. Ensure that
each insulator is present and fits properly.
Prevent the handrails from touching any part
of the die-cast locomotive cab.
