TO MATCH THE CHANNEL OF YOUR CAB2 AND BASE3:
1. Press the CTC button
2. Scroll to channel select
3. Using the Touch-Screen numbers, enter the channel of your Base3 (the same number you
located by watching the Base3’s yellow light)
The system operates on the same frequencies as many other common wireless devices. If you
experience signal quality issues, or lack of range between the Cab2 and Base3, you may need to change
channels to resolve the issue.
BASE COMMUNICATION
Two command base units cannot exist on the same channel. If two bases in proximity are set to the
same channel, range and reliability will be compromised.
RADIO LINK WARNING LIGHT
If you are operating the Cab2 out of range of the Base3, a red Radio Link Warning Light will flash on your
remote. If the Radio Link Warning Light triggers at close range, it is a good indication that the channel
frequency is experiencing signal quality issues. Try to find the best channel for your environment. A
clean channel can extend range greatly and ensure reliability.
INTERFERENCE FROM CAMERAS
Popular wireless cameras used in the railroad hobby use channel 1-4. Setting the Base3 channel at 5 or
above will correct the problem.
Base3 Wi-Fi Configuration
With the Base3’s built-in Wi-Fi, you can operate your model railroad using devices such as smartphones
and tablets. Wi-Fi works with the Cab3 App for Android and iOS devices. The Base3 can create its own
independent Wi-Fi network or join an existing one. Up to 10 Wi-Fi devices can be connected at once.
