Assign a new I D# to your
Command-equipped FM
Trainmaster
A
s your fleet of Command-
equipped Lionels grows, you'll
want to give your FM Trainmaster a
more individualized number. Choose
from any between 1 and 99. To make
things easy, use a portion of your FM
Trainmaster's cab number.
Turn the Command Base ON and
place the FM Trainmaster on track.
Power up, then set the FM
Trainmaster's reverse unit control
switch to PGM (see the illustration).
Using CAB-1, press ENG, the locomo-
tive ID# (you select: ?), then press the
SET button located under CAB-1's
removable panel. Hear the horn blow
(or see the headlight flash if
Railsounds is off); that's the R2LC
confirming the new ID#. Set the
reverse unit control switch to RUN.
Your FM Trainmaster is ready for
operations with its all-new ID#.
We recommend that you chose an
easy to remember ID# for your
engine. Some possibilities are part of
the engine road number, your age,
any two digit number that is not used
by another engine. Write the number
on a small piece of tape and put this
on the bottom of the fuel tank to aid
in remembering.
Set the FM Trainmaster's reverse unit
program switch to PGM. When you've
finished programming the ID#, set the
switch to RUN.
