2.2.1. Installing / Changing Batteries
The battery's job: Storing the current train and accessory data for
starting up the system again, after it has been turned off. Batteries
are not included with the Central
Station.
1. Remove the cover on the
housing of the Central Station
for the battery holder.
2. Batteries to use. Only 1.5 volt
batteries (AAA size, diame-
ter = 10.5 mm x 44.5 mm /
7/16" x 1-3/4"). Rechargeable
batteries are not suitable! Pay
attention to the polarity and
the markings in the battery
holder when installing the
batteries ("+" and "-").
3. Put the cover back on. If you
like it, you can fix the cover
with the included screw.
- Use only high quality batteries
(example: alkaline batteries).
- Do not remove the batteries until the Central Station is turned off.
- If the Central Station is not going to be used for a long period of
time, then the batteries should be removed. (to protect against the
batteries leaking)
- If your batteries are weak or totally run down, a warning symbol will
appear in the lower right and left corners of the screen.
Caution! Never attempt to recharge batteries! Doing so involves
the danger of injury and fire!

law to turn in used batteries at a collection point in his
community or at the dealer from whom he purchased
