are absolutely flat on the bottom. There are no parts
that could scratch the mounting surface. Thus it can be screwed
directly on the model railway layout or fixed using a self adhesive
tape.
Restoring factory settings
Restoring factory settings of a
Q
decoder
is quite simple: Just press
the programming button for 10 seconds. What you see is:
•
After one second the decoder enters the programming mode and
the LED lights – keep pressing the button
• After about 5 seconds the LED starts to flash. This flashing gets
faster and faster and after 10 seconds the factory settings are
restored – now release the button.
