first and then press two digits.
When F1-F12 are on, F1 - F12 will be
displayed on the LCD. F13 - F15 will not
be displayed.
The left LCD display shows that the
current loco is 3802 running in reverse at
a speed of 102. Its accessory functions
F1 and F11 are on.
Recalling Locos
To call up previous locos stored in the memory, press
RECALL
. You can recall up to 25
locos.
NOTE:
Although the Cab can store up to 25 locos during operation, if you unplug
the Cab from the base unit it will delete all but the last 5 locos used.
Deleting Locos
The Cab can store up to 25 locos. If you select a new loco when the Cab is full, the
new loco will replace the current loco. The current loco will be lost. To prevent this, we
recommend you recall unused locos and delete them by pressing and holding
DEL
for 2
seconds.
NOTE:
You can’t delete all loco addresses. The last address always stays in the stack.
Emergency Stopping
For emergency stopping of the current loco, press
STOP
. Pressing and holding
STOP
for 2 seconds will stop the Main Track output. The 2 lights on the base unit will blink. To
restore the Main Track output, press and hold
STOP
for 2 seconds again.
Speed Steps
Speed steps are incremental steps the loco takes to go from 0 to top speed. There are
three speed steps: 14, 28 and 128. The higher the speed steps setting, the higher the
number of different speeds on which the loco can operate. When you enter a new loco
address (an address that has not been stored in the Cab’s memory), Prodigy Express
2
will
set 28 speed steps as the default setting for that address. In order to operate your loco
properly, you may need to change the speed steps setting to match the decoder’s speed
steps.
To select the speed step setting to better match your decoder’s speed step, press
SPD
STEP
repeatedly until you see your desired speed step setting. Then press
ENTER
. The
selected speed steps setting will apply only to that address.
NOTE:
Use of the speed step button will not alter the speed step originally programmed
into the decoder. It only matches the throttle to the decoder. Check your decoder manual
for speed step settings.
