this, program the "function values" in
"registers" (CVs) using a PC and the
55045 MTS PC Decoder Programm-
ing Module. You can also program
the function values using a 55015
Universal Remote.
Hints:
- For normal operation, it is not nec-
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.
This also reprograms the loco
address to the factory pre-set
value.

and press the right arrow button. The
