CAB-1 Remote® Numeric Keypad Commands
When you press the AUX1 on CAB-1 Remote Controller®, you turn the
numeric keypad into 10 command buttons. The keypad lets you control extra
command features (until you press any top row button).

7 TowerCom™ is an audible announcement from the tower.
8 Turns the smoke unit off.
9 Turns the smoke unit on.
Braking and Boosting
There's more to starting and stopping than just turning the CAB-1 Remote
Controller® throttle. Use the BOOST and BRAKE command buttons - they give you
incremental control of speed and are the superior way to handle grades, gradual
stops-and-starts and more. Plus, using BRAKE in the Command environment gives
you a bonus RailSounds® effect - the realistic sound of squealing brakes.
Assigning Your Locomotive A New ID#
As your fleet of command-equipped engines grows, new engines require a
different ID#. Choose from any number between 2 and 99. Remember, all command
equipped engines ship as ID#1.
We recommend that you choose an easy to remember ID# for your engine.
Some possibilities are part of the engine road number, your age, or any two-digit
number that is not used by another engine. If you like, write the number on a small
piece of tape and put this on the bottom of the engine chassis to aid in remembering.
Step 1: Slide the PROGRAM / RUN switch to PROGRAM.
Step 2: Turn the Command Base ON and set the engine on the track. Power up the
track power to 18 VAC.
Step 3: Press ENG and new ID#.
Step 4: Press SET located under the removable cover.
Step 5: See the headlight flash and hear the horn blow; that's your signal that
programming has been accepted.
