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
selection 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
locomotive against the wall in frustration.

FACTORY RESET
On your SW1200RS, 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. What do you mean, you didn’t
take any notes? WE JUST TOLD YOU TAKE NOTES. You’re out of the band.
You can NOT lose all of the pre-recorded sounds on your SW1200RS decoder by doing
a factory reset. However, after performing a factory reset your SW1200RS may begin
to do the Watusi and recite lines from Apocalypse Now. If that happens, you have
probably lost your mind. Those elephants are not real. Lie down, relax and maybe the
drumming noise in your head will stop. Dum-dum-dum-dum. Dum-dum-dum-dum.
