stack, you may adjust the speed dial to approximate the locomotive's speed.
When acquiring a locomotive directly, select the locomotive address on the dis-
play. Then press and hold the direction button and adjust the Speed dial to

your accessory decoder for programming directions). After the required pro-
gramming you can use the Function buttons on your HandCommand to control
