Adjusting the locomotive volume with the Universal Remote
T
o adjust the overall volume of the locomotive’s sound system begin by placing the throttle
in the top dead center position (so the red LED is solidly illuminated and the locomotive is
stopped). Press and hold the Announcement button then turn the throttle to the left and / or right,
this will increase and decrease the overall locomotive volume. Continue holding the Announcement
button when turning the throttle, you can stay in this mode until the volume is at the level you
desire. Once the volume level is set to the level you want release the Announcement button and
return the locomotive throttle to the top dead center position again. (The new volume level will
remain until you change it in the future, even after power has been cycled.) If, after running the
locomotive, you decide to change the volume, simply follow the steps above to do so.
If the throttle is not in the top dead center position before or after the volume
adjustment process undesired operation will occur. Always start and finish the
volume adjustment process with the throttle in the top dead center position!
Note!
Using the LionChief Universal Remote
Pairing locomotives to the Universal Remote
Y
our Universal Remote can connect or “pair” to one, two or three different locomotives at a
time. Each “target” locomotive will be associated with one Engine Selection Button. Once
you’ve paired with a locomotive, you can run it.
However, only “available” locomotives can be paired with the Universal Remote. “Available”
means “not currently controlled by any other remote.” An available locomotive will be powered up.
To Pair a Locomotive to Engine Selection button #1
1. Turn on power to your Universal Remote
2. Press and hold Engine Selection button #1 until it blinks rapidly. This will clear any
previously stored pairing information so you can connect to the new target locomotive.
3. Release the button. It should flash slowly, indicating it is not connected to a locomotive.
4. Place the target locomotive on the track and apply track power.
5. Tap and release Engine Selection button #1. The remote will now seek and connect to
the first available locomotive it finds.
6. Engine Selection button #1 should now be on (no flashing), the engine will play a short
whistle blast to indicate it is connected.
7. Run the locomotive!
This locomotive pairing is now stored in your Universal Remote. The next time this engine
and remote are powered on, the connection will be automatically re-established.
To Pair a Locomotive to Engine Selection buttons 2 or 3, simply follow the same steps with the
other two Engine Selection Buttons.
Bluetooth locomotives cannot be operated by the Universal Remote if they are
already under the control of the LionChief App or another Universal Remote.
