programming mode and turn on the bell (press F1). We’ll say this again: Make sure you
have plenty of room in front of your locomotive and it is not headed for the layout edge
and the basement floor!!!
Your FL9 will quickly take off at full speed and gradually slow down to a stop while the
decoder reads the motor responses. You’ll have fabulous motor control after you do this.
If you ever have to reset your locomotive, you can do the automatic adjustment again – it
just takes a few seconds.
MORE INFORMATION
While addressing the features that most modelers will need for normal operation, these
instructions have covered just a small number of the many customizable features of
your ESU LokSound decoder. For advanced users who want to more fully explore the
capabilities of the decoder we suggest downloading the ESU Loksound Select decoder
manual. This is available on the FL9 page in the Support section of our web site.
LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
We will do our best to solve any problems or issues that you may have with your FL9
locomotive. If your locomotive has any defects that originate from the factory, we will
repair your locomotive using new components or replace it outright should a repair not
be possible. However, we can only replace your locomotive while we have additional
ones in stock. We normally keep spares for up to six months after a model is released.
If you purchased this locomotive at age 23 and you’ve only first opened it upon retire-
ment, it is possible that we no longer have any replacements, we’re retired, or we’re
pushing up the daisies. It is also possible that by that time the molds have been stolen by
the Purple Army of Constantinople during the Madagascar-Jamaican War and used in a
catapult to break down the Kardashian Gates in Cleveland. In that case they probably
aren’t usable any more. Please check to see if we still exist and give us a call or write us
an email, and we will see what we can do to help you out. If Connecticut is covered by
one big glacier, chances are we’re extinct. Don’t bother calling.
There are a number of things that this warranty can not cover. We’ve already gone
over the bit about reattaching loose parts yourself – don’t be afraid! The worst thing
that can happen is that you ruin a gorgeous $350 locomotive and have to give it to the
neighbor’s dog as a new chew toy. If parts are missing, please call us or send us an
email and we’ll send you some replacements provided that we have them. As mentioned
above, this warranty does NOT cover damage caused by voltage spikes on MRC 1300
or “train set” power packs.
Of course, damage caused by throwing your FL9 out of a moving shuttlecraft, gener-
ously allowing your wife’s aunt to use your FL9 locomotives as hair curlers, changing the
locomotive numbers with a 1” wide brush and house paint, adding realistic weathering
