Safety Notes
- This locomotive is to be used only with an operating system designed for it (Märklin AC, Märklin Delta, Märklin Digital or DCC).
- Use only switched-mode power supply units and transformers that are designed for your local power system.
- This locomotive must never be supplied with power from more than one transformer.
- Pay close attention to the safety notes in the instructions for your operating system.
- The feeder track must be equipped to prevent interference with radio and television reception when the locomotive is to be run in conventional operation. The 74046 interference suppression set is to be used for this purpose.
- Do not expose the model to direct sunlight, extreme changes in temperature, or high humidity.
- WARNING! Sharp edges and points are required for operation.
- The LEDs in this item correspond to Laser Class 1 according to Standard EN 60825-1.
Important Notes
- The operating instructions and the packaging are a com-ponent part of the product and must therefore be kept as well as transferred along with the product to others.
- Please see your authorized Märklin dealer for repairs or spare parts.
- The warranty card included with this product specifies the warranty conditions.

Functions
- Recognition of the mode of operation: automatic.
- Mfx technology for the Mobile Station / Central Station. Name set at the factory: 249 002 DB AG
- Address set at the factory: MM 49 / DCC 03
- Setting the locomotive parameters (address, acceleration/braking delay, maximum speed): with the Control Unit, Mobile Station, Central Station.
- Headlights, changing over with the direction of travel.
- Various controllable functions.
- Only the train control functions and headlight changeover feature are available in analog operation.
- The full range of functions is only available under mfx.
- Mode of Operation: Locomotive Engineer
- Additional explanations about the mode of operation can be found in the supplemental instructions (included).
- The locomotive cannot be switched to operation from catenary.
Note:
The digital protocol with the most possibilities is the highest order digital
protocol. The sequence of digital protocols in descending order is:
- Priority 1: mfx
- Priority 2: DCC
- Priority 3: MM
If two or more digital protocols are recognized in the track, the decoder automatically takes on the highest value digital protocol. For example, if mfx & MM are recognized, the mfx digital protocol is taken on by the decoder. Individual protocols can be deactivated with Parameter CV 50.
Controllable Functions
- The number corresponds to the button number on the device.
- Functions starting at F16 are not possible until you have Software Version 3.55 in the MS2.
- with random sounds
- Only in conjunction with the headlights / Switched together: Switching lights.
- Only for „World of Operation“, do not move (do not map).
