Hint: All permanently coupled locos
should be programmed to the same
loco address.

the sound is played by both locos.

this, program the "function values"
in "registers" (CVs) using a PC and

program the function values using a
55015 Universal Remote.
Hints:

essary to change the function val-
ues.
- If programming results in unsatis-
factory operation, you can repro-
gram the factory pre-set values of
most important CVs: Program reg-
ister CV55 to function value 55.
