The DT400 automatically defaults to the Fn mode & returns to this mode
when ever the EXIT Key is pressed.
The Mode indicator usually
shows what the numeric keys are associated with.
For example, in
Fn mode, any entry on the numeric keypad will affect functions. In
Sw mode, keypad entries will change turnouts and in Lo mode,
entries on the keypad will enter loco address numbers, etc.
4.3.5 L (Left) & R (Right) Throttle Display
The decoder address selected on the L Throttle is displayed on the bot-
tom line of the LCD to the left of the Mode Indicator. The decoder
address selected on the R Throttle is displayed on to the right of the
Mode Indicator. The address can show as either the 2-digit or the 4-
digit decoder address. If no address is selected the display will show
“SEL.” If a 2-digit address is selected (00-127), the display will
show two or three digits. If a 4-digit address is selected (0128 -
9983), the display will show all four digits including the leading
zero.
4.3.6 Text Area
The Text Area of the LCD consists of the eight characters in the middle
line of the display. This is where information like locomotive speed,
decoder status, turnout position, fast clock, text prompts, messages
and programming data are displayed.
4.3.7 L & R Bar Graph
Each throttle has a bar graph located above the text area of the LCD.
Each of these indicates the speed setting of the L & R Throttles
