General information on connectors 1- 4:
When a WIRELESS+ receiver is used, it must be plugged into con-
nector 1. Optionally a WIRELESS Tower 20010108 can be plugged
into connector 2. When only the WIRELESS+ receiver is used, con-
nector 2 is to be left empty.
Connecting the receiver
Connect the receiver according to the symbol to either of the two
sockets on the control unit which are marked Tower 1 and Tower 2.
For operating four WIRELESS+ speed controllers only one 2.4 GHz
receiver is required.
Connecting the charging unit
The charging unit is connected at the rear of the control unit. To site
the charging unit at any other place on the track, an adapter unit
20030360 will be needed.

Additional wired speed controllers may be plugged into connectors
3 and 4. Please note that these will use address 5 and 6 then.
Using the speed controller extension set 20030348 it has to be
plugged into connector 1. The cars´ addresses will be allocated as
follows:
• Speed controller extension set = address 1, 3 and 4
• connector 2 = address 2
• connector 3 = address 5
• connector 4 = address 6
Note:
a combination of WIRELESS and speed controller extension set is
not possible!
Please note that in DIGITAL 124 the number of cars is restricted
to four.
Charging the speed controllers
Before fi rst being used, the WIRELESS+ speed controllers should
be fully charged. Place the speed controllers in the charging station
and switch on the control unit. While the unit is charging, the LEDs
on the speed controllers will fl ash. When charging is completed,
