mands to the same address can result in serious problems in an operating ses-
sion because locos can appear to be out of control.
Releasing a Locomotive
Two options are available for tetherless release. These options are set by
DT400 Option #3, see Section 23.2.2 for instructions.
No tetherless release allowed: if the LOCO Key
the DT400/R is running in tetherless mode, the addresses selected
will not be released unless the throttle is plugged in to LocoNet.
This is the factory default.
Tetherless release allowed: if the LOCO Key
DT400/R is running in tetherless mode, the address selected on that
side of the throttle will be released immediately and that throttle will
become inactive. To re-select this loco address plug your DT400/R
in to LocoNet and select the loco address on the throttle.
Multiple Unit Operations
Consists must be assembled and broken up while the DT400/R is plugged in to
LocoNet. MU operations are locked out while the DT400/R is running tether-
less. Once a consist is assembled, it can be operated normally using the
DT400/R in tetherless mode.
Programming
Ops mode programming is the only programming method that will work while
the DT400R is operating as a radio throttle. If you press the PROG Key
to enter programming mode, the DT400R running as tetherless will default to
the Po mode (ops mode programming). The DT400R must be connected to
LocoNet to use service mode programming and access any of the other pro-
gramming modes available.
Switch Mode
The DT400/R will operate in "Switch" Mode while tetherless. It can operate
turnouts and routes using the OPTN t
manner.
Ballistic Tracking
While running tetherless, ballistic tracking will feel slightly different than while
connected to LocoNet.
