If your locomotive is so equipped, the smoke unit is not controlled by this remote. In
order to turn the smoke unit off/on you must first disconnect power from the track,
manually turn the smoke unit control to the “OFF” or “ON” position, full counter-
clockwise or some degree of clockwise position, and reapply power. (Small screwdriver may
be required for this operation)
