The Evolution Of The Roco Lokmaus - The Multimaus; An Overview Of The Multimaus - Roco multiMAUS Manuel

The evolution of the ROCO Lokmaus — the multiMAUS
The multiMAUS brings together the functionality of the legendary Lokmaus with the comfort of a fully digital central
control unit. Whether you use the multiMAUS as just a comfortable controller or wish to use it for comprehensive
programming of your locomotive decoder and turnouts, the clear layout of the design and simple operation make
the multiMAUS the leading digital model railroading controller.
Our aim when developing this Lokmaus was to make operation as intuitive as possible. The addition of the various
new functions can be easily controlled. This manual is designed to introduce you to all the capabilities of the
multiMAUS.
In order to make this manual clear and easy to understand, it is broken down into several sections. Beginning users
that wish to use the multiMAUS only for playing are not required to read the entire manual. The first section is
sufficient for simple, everyday use.
This first section of the manual deals with the basics for connecting and operating the multiMAUS. Users who wish
to use the many diverse programming options of the multiMAUS will find instructions in the second section of
this manual. The third section serves as a guide for special cases involving digital model railroading. The glossary
contains the definitions of basic terms that you may encounter while spending time with your digital system.
Have fun reading this manual and, of course, using the multiMAUS.
