• Remove run down batteries from the battery pack.
• Remove rechargeable batteries from the battery pack before charging them!
• Rechargeable batteries should be charged up only under the supervision of adults.
• Inequality of battery types, or new and used batteries may not be used together.
• Batteries with the correct polarity insert.

- Contacts should not be shorted.

• Batteries do not belong in the garbage!

- Every user in the European Union is legally responsible for disposing of batteries at a collection point in his community or at the dealer. The batteries are then passed on for environmentally friendly processing.

- Batteries containing dangerous materials are identified by these marks and chemical symbols (Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead).

Please keep these instructions. They contain important information.

Put the cover for the battery holder back in place and screw it down.

7. Operating

7.1 Selecting an address:

(See Section 8 for the appropriate address for your locomotive.)

Diagram of a mobile phone control panel with labeled buttons including plus, minus, and function keys

Correct address selected? (See section 8) When operating the IR Control, always line it up with the lens in the direction of the Base Station. Press the desired button.

Turning on the light Controlling Functions 1 - 4 * Braking Accelerating Changing direction

* if the locomotive is designed for this

If no other commands are sent within 3 minutes of the last command, the base station shuts off the voltage in the track for safety reasons.

If the IR Control is activated again after that, the base station will turn itself on automatically.

If a short circuit occurs, the Base Station will shut off and will turn itself on again after the short circuit has been corrected.

7.2 Changing an Address:

If you have 2 locomotives with the same address, you can change the address for one locomotive as follows:

Unplug the transformer. Set the address switches to the desired address. Press the button „Change Direction“ Hold this button pressed down while the lens on the IR Control is pointed at shows to the receiver, and plug the transformer back into the wall outlet.

Release the button as soon the light comes on. The programming procedure is displayed when the light comes on or blinks. As soon as the light goes out, the programming is turned off. The locomotive can now be run with the new address.

8. Locomotive Functions

• Recognition of the mode of operation: automatic.
  • Addresses that can be set: 1 - 255
• Address set at the factory: 78 ^△
• Headlights for the locomotive. They can be turned on and off in digital operation.
  • ABV — Adjustable acceleration/braking delay.
• Adjustable maximum speed.
• Setting the locomotive parameters (address, acceleration/braking delay, maximum speed): with the Control Unit, Mobile Station or Central Station.

8.1 Function Switch

The IR Controller can activate 5 digital functions on the locomotives.

Controllable Functions:
Headlights
ABV, off Function 4

8.2 Controlling the Locomotive

The control knob for operating locomotives always controls only the locomotive that has just been selected with the address selector switch. All other locomotives or powered rail cars continue to run at the speed last set for them.

Important: When a new address is selected and the control knob is already set at a speed position (any speed position), the locomotive just selected will immediately run at this speed. You must select this locomotive address a second time, before you can control the locomotive.

After you switch to a new address, it takes a moment before the newly selected locomotive can actually be controlled. This feature makes it possible for you to skip over other addresses when switching to a new address, without the locomotives assigned to these addresses being affected by the current setting for the control knob. Control of the locomotive is assumed with the last settings in use. The locomotive now reacts to the controller.

9. Information about Operating the Train Running 2 Trains

Only one switched mode power pack and one Base Station may be used.

The switched mode power pack included with the starter set provides power sufficient for a maximum of 2 trains.

The locomotive to be controlled can be selected with the switch on the controller (see Sections 7 and 8).

10. Trouble Running the Train

• If the train does not run, check to make sure that the connections have been done as shown in Section 6.
• Check to make sure that the batteries in the IR Controller have been installed correctly or whether they are run down.
• Check to see if there a short circuit or an overload on the layout or if a locomotive or car is derailed. Correct the short circuit or the overload by reducing the number of power consumers (locomotives, lighted cars, etc.), and set the derailed locomotive or car back on the rails.
• If the locomotive is damaged, do not use it any more. If a car becomes damaged, remove this car from the train and do not use it anymore.

11. Cleaning and Maintenance

• Check to see if hair or dirt gets on the axles on the train and remove this hair or dirt from the axles with the help of a pair or tweezers so that the train runs correctly.
  • The train can be wiped with a dry, lint-free cloth.
• Additional maintenance information can be found in Section 15.

12. Disposing

Products marked with a trash container with a line through it may not be disposed of at the end of their useful life in the normal household trash. They must be taken to a collection point for

the recycling of electrical and electronic devices. There is a symbol on the product, the operating instructions, or the packaging to this effect. The materials in these items can be used again according to this marking. By reusing old devices, materially recycling, or recycling in some other form of old devices such as these you make an important contribution to the protection of our environment. Please ask your city, town, community, or county authorities for the location of the appropriate disposal site.

Batteries Do Not Belong in the Household Trash! Every user in the EC area is legally obligated to turn in batteries at a collection point in his

community or at a dealer. The batteries are then disposed of appropriately in order to protect the environment.

Batteries containing dangerous materials are marked with this symbol and with chemical symbols (Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead). www.maerklin.com/en/imprint.html
