LIONEL LEGACY BASE Control System Update Module Procedure
1. Remove the Power Jack from the LEGACY Base to Power the
Base unit down.

in the Power jack back into the BASE.
4. The Yellow center LED will begin to Flash on the top end of the Base. The
two other LED's will be on solid. The Lionel name on the both sides of the
Base will also Flash while programming the update. Release the channel
select button and wait until the Yellow and the side Lionel LED's stops
Flashing.
5. The BASE will Restart on its own. At that time the Green LED will
Flash once followed by the Yellow LED then fi nally the Red LED.
Once the Base restarts, turn the LEGACY CAB on. Press the CTC
button once again after the CAB fully powers up to get to the
Central Train Control screen to verify that the new software has
been installed. You will see CAB V1.3 and BASE V1.3 in the Central
Train Control scrolling screen.
Note: The status light (yellow on Base, red on remote) will stop fl ashing quickly if the update is successful. If
the light will not go off and blinks a number sequence slowly, it is indicating an error code. If you encounter
this please refer to the following table to diagnose the cause.
