To connect a new PIKO locomotive with SmartControl WLAN:

1. Turn on the SmartControl WLAN system – Ensure the controller is powered on and the active WLAN symbol appears.
2. Rerail the locomotive – Place the PIKO locomotive on the track.
3. Activate track voltage – Press the "STOP" button to switch on the track voltage.
4. Automatic registration (if applicable) – If the locomotive supports RailCom Plus®, it will register automatically in the system.
5. Manual addition (if needed) – If the locomotive does not appear in the selection menu, navigate to the edit menu and add it manually to the locomotive database.
6. Select the locomotive – Use the locomotive selection menu to choose the newly added or automatically registered locomotive.
7. Start operation – Once selected, you can control the locomotive via the SmartControl WLAN system.

This process ensures the locomotive is properly connected and ready for operation.
