LOCO SELECTION

To control your loco with the WLANMAUS or to change settings, you must ﬁ rst select the loco. There are two ways to do this: the library mode or the address mode. The ﬁrst time you switch on your WLANMAUS, it will start in the library mode.
1.1 Library Mode
In the library mode of the WLANMAUS, your locos are sorted by their names.
To select the loco you want to control, simply scroll through the library using the arrow keys.
When you switch on your system, the WLANMAUS display shows the name of the last loco used. When you switch on for the ﬁ rst time, the display will show “LOCO1” or the factory-assigned name of your starter set loco. 1.2 Address Mode
