11.2.1. Speed & Direction
• Turn the throttle knob to the right and the locomotive will start moving.
The speed step indicator will display the current speed immediately while
the speed step is shown for accurate control.
• Turn the throttle knob to the left beyond Zero until you hear a "Click", then
the direction of travel will be changed. The throttle knob is motorized. If you
turn the throttle knob beyond Zero for changing the direction, simply let go
of it afterwards. It will automatically return to the Zero position.
11.2.2. Functions
There is an icon for each function button describing the function more close-
ly. In addition, a number located at the bottom right indicates the indenture
number; starting with 0 at the top left (for the lighting button F0). In order to
more easily recognize the type of function, the icons of the individual func-
tion groups (mainly physical functions, logical functions and sound functions)
are displayed in different colors.

• Press the icon for turning on or off a function.
• Depending on whether a function is set as a continuous or a momentary
function, the function may remain only active as long as you touch the
icon with your finger. Every Function on the Mobile Control II throttle can
be set to continuous (latching) or momentary.
