User Feedback 

The transmitter has a vibration motor in it which can be used for user feedback. Pressing any button sends a radio 
signal  to  the  base  station  receiver.  The  receiver  (both  TX  and  TX  are  actually  transceivers,  capable  of  bi-
directional communication) will then return a signal to vibrate the transmitter. This is useful to find dead spots in 
your layout or to check radio range. You will likely not want to use this all the time to save TX batteries. This func-
tion can be activated using User programming parameter 13.  
 

Fuses 

If you are blowing fuses due to derailments, or other causes of a short circuit, do not increase the size of the fuse. 
It is doing its job. If you continually blow fuses while simply trying to operate trains, then you can increase the fuse 
size from the 5 amps, to 7.5 amps, or a maximum of 10 amps. Running with the smallest size fuse that still allows 
you to operate will provide the best protection for the TrackSide R/C.
