Evolution of the ROCO locomotive mouse – the
multi
MAUS
The
multi
MAUS
combines the functionality of the legendary Lokmaus with the convenience of a full-
blown digital control centre. Whether you use the
multi
MAUS
only as a handy speed controller or want
to do extensive programming for your locomotive decoders and turnouts, the clear design combined
with the simple operation makes the
multi
MAUS
a benchmark for digital model railway controls.
Our aim was to design this locomotive mouse so that it can be operated intuitively. Even the many
new functions of this 3rd generation locomotive mouse can be easily controlled. In this manual, we
will show you what the
multi
MAUS
can do.
This manual it is divided into several parts to make the contents clearer. That means a user who only
wants to play with the
multi
MAUS
does not have to read through the entire manual; the fi rst part is
enough.
This fi rst part of the manual deals with the most important basics for connecting and operating
the
multi
MAUS
. Users who want to use the many options of
multi
MAUS
for programming will fi nd
everything they need to know in the second part. The third part deals with special topics related to
digital model railways. A glossary explains some important basic terms that you may see again and
again when dealing with digital model railways.
We hope you enjoy reading this manual and, of course, using the
multi
MAUS
