when plugging in or in the following 5 seconds, because the touch field is calibrated when started. In
operation, the touch panel tunes to its environment.

1.3. How to put your locomotive on rails
1. Carefully set the locomotive onto the smartRail track, manually or using railing equipment.
2. As long as your hand is within the read-out range of the sensors, the smartRail remains in stand-by
mode. This is indicated by continuous red blinking of the " "button.
3. Only when the locomotive has come to a complete standstill and your hand has left the read-out range
will the " " begin to glow red.
1.4. How you control your locomotive with smartRail
1. Move your finger right to left over the left slider area (the field between the symbols " " and " "), and
the locomotive drives to the left.
2. The more you move your finger to the left, the faster the locomotive becomes. smartRail automatically
recognises the speed at which the model is moving and will regulate track speed so that the locomo-
tive always remains in the same position. Please note that the delayed speed regulation may cause
slight movements forward or back – in the range of 1 to 2 centimetres.
3. Move your finger left to right over the right slider area (the field between the symbols " " and " "), and
the locomotive drives to the right.
4. Tap the " " button to stop your locomotive.
5. Tap the " " button to switch the front light of your locomotive on and off.
6. Tap the function keys "F1" to "F4" to switch the factory-set functions 1 to 4 of the locomotive program-
med in the decoder.
7. Tapp the " " button to switch off smartRail.
Operation on touch panel
This is how scanning of locomoti-
ve addresses works:
1. smartRail reads out the short
CV1 as well as the long CV17/18
address.
2. If the read out is unsuccessful, au-
tomatic locomotive search is star-
ted. In this process, all addresses
are checked and the system waits
for a reaction of the locomotive;
this may take several minutes. To
abbreviate this time, smartRail will
check the most recently controlled
locomotives first. The process can
be cancelled by Smartphone or
MAUS driving command.

3. If no locomotive is found, the stop
key switches to pale red. The
panel then automatically swit-
ches locomotive address 3; other
addresses are only accessible by
Smartphone or
MAUS.
