instructed, aim the Remote at the Receiver and press the

DCS Remote Commander

4

* The DCS Remote Commander will 
ONLY operate locomotives equipped with 
M.T.H. Proto-Sound 2.0 and 3.0 systems.  
Locomotives equipped with Proto-Sound 
2.0 must be the 3 volt model. The 3-volt 
model can be distinguished by its square 
battery charging jack typically found on the 
bottom of  the locomotive or under any 
removable hatches on the top of  the body.

Locomotives will ONLY operate with the 
DCS Remote Commander if  they are set to 
the factory default settings. If  the Factory 
default settings must be reset, the reset 
procedure - in some cases - can be done 
with the Remote Commander by following 
the procedure on page 7 of  this manual.  If  
that procedure fails to reset the locomotive, 
then a conventional transformer (like the 
M.T.H. Z-500, Z-750, Z-1000 or Z-4000) 
can be used by pressing the bell and whistle 
buttons in the order described on page 7 of  
this manual.
