Place your locomotive on Lionel or 11 Lionel-compatible O-54 or larger track. • With track power OFF, connect the drawbar between locomotive and tender. That’s all you have to do with Lionel’s new Wireless Tether®, an infrared communication system that eliminates the plugs and wires of the past. NOTE: Your locomotive is designed to operate on minimum 0-54 diameter track.

Power up your locomotive with your transformer. 22 • Your locomotive is designed to operate on 8-18 volts alternating current. Virtually all Lionel and Lionel-compatible alternating-current transformers are suitable; we recommend the TrainMaster Command model railroad control system. Note! • Do not power your locomotive with direct current (DC). Damage to sensitive electronic components may occur. • When you first power up your track, the locomotive will wait between three and eight seconds as it “listens” for digital language from the TrainMaster Command Base (available separately). When it’s determined that it’s on a conventional (non-Command) railroad, the locomotive headlight will illu- minate and RailSounds will start up. At this point, the locomotive is in neutral. (This occurs when placing the locomotive on your railroad for the first time. Thereafter, it starts in forward after every three-second power interrupt.)

Move ‘em out! 33 • Get your locomotive moving. Press the DIR button on your CAB-1 remote or Lionel transformer. This sequences the R2IR to the next operating state. • Adjust track voltage until your locomotive moves at your desired speed.

Note! Please remove protective cover from battery clip before installing the battery.

Note! Although RailSounds is powered by track voltage, the battery is required for uninterrupted operation and shutdown sequences. Use only alkaline batteries.

Note! Discontinue locomotive power for 10 seconds before changing the RailSounds ON/OFF switch position.

Note! If RailSounds “drops out” during track power interrupts (direction change), replace the battery. 7 Transformer operations

Find them both at your authorized power to operate multiple Command- Lionel retailer.

Place your locomotive on Lionel or 11 Lionel-compatible O-54 or larger track. • Make sure track power is OFF before placing it on track. • Make sure your Lionel Command Base is ON and its communications wire is connected to the COMMON post on your Lionel transformer or the U terminal on any of your installed PowerMasters. • Once positioned on the track, increase track voltage to FULL (on PowerMaster, slide the CMD/CONV switch to CMD). Address your locomotive with CAB-1. 22 • Press ENG and 1 on the numeric keypad of your CAB-1 remote. This command is sent by CAB-1 to the Command Base, which then translates your commands into digital code. That code is sent around your railroad’s outside rails in the form of a digital “halo.” All Command-equipped Lionels listen to this digital communication, but they do not respond until they hear their own ID number. • The digital language of TrainMaster Command—and not track power— controls the actions of Command-equipped Lionels. Track power is simply like gasoline in the tank of your car—it gives you the power to go places, but it doesn’t tell you where to go or how fast to get there. • All Command-equipped Lionels come factory-programmed with an ID# of “1.” To change your locomotive ID#, see page 14. 3 Move ‘em out! 3 • Throttle up or press any command button on CAB-1. Your locomotive will respond to your every command. Read on. The fun is just beginning!
