the power off for 15 seconds does not return it to normal operation, you can
reset your locomotive to original factory values.

sheet.
•
Turn off the power.
•
Place the Magnetic Wand over the reed switch area and apply

send the bell signal command. Even though the Bell will not be heard, the
Magnetic Wand will shut the locomotive down.
