locomotive. The LED’s are not user serviceable. If service is required, we recommend that
you have your locomotive serviced at a Lionel Factory Trained Authorized Service Station.
Maintaining and servicing your locomotive
Servicing your locomotive’s LEDs
If the locomotive is powered up and the lights are not on, check that the AUX2
command was not used to turn the lamps off.
Note!
Maintaining you locomotive's handrail antennas
T
he handrails on your locomotive are the antennas that receive the Radio Signal
communication from the Command Base. For optimum reception, the handrails have
been insulated from the die-cast body. Please handle the locomotive carefully to avoid
handrail damage. The handrails should not touch the locomotive body.
If your locomotive appears to have problems receiving communications from the
Command Base, be sure that the ends of the handrails are insulated from the body with either
an insulating washer or plastic handrail stanchion.
