Rapido Trains F40PH-2D Operating Instructions Manual - Factory Reset

VERY IMPORTANT: Before you change any of the volume control CVs,
please make sure that CV 32 is set to 1. CV 32 is used as an index selec-
tion register and if you don’t set it first then we are not responsible for
your resulting rage and the fact that you will probably throw the loco-
motive against the wall in frustration.

FACTORY RESET
On your F40PH-2D, you perform a factory reset by entering a value of “8” into CV 8.
Note that this will cause all of your new volume and motor settings to be lost, so you
will need to reprogram any settings that you want to keep. You did keep notes like we
suggested earlier, didn’t you?
You can NOT lose all of the pre-recorded sounds on your F40PH-2D decoder by doing
a factory reset. This is a myth about ESU decoders that was related to function mapping
settings using an early version of JMRI. Even then the sounds were still there; they were
just not mapped to the proper function buttons. ESU has changed their software so that
this cannot happen again. If you manage to lose all of the sounds on your F40PH-2D
then you have probably set fire to your decoder with a voltage spike. Open up your
F40PH-2D and pour out the ashes.
