If the Mobile Station shows„OCCUPIED“ when a locomotive is called up,16 SX2/DCC locomotives or powered rail carsare already in operation. An SX2/DCC locomotiveor powered rail car in operation mustbe taken out of operation, i.e. the speed mustbe reduced to zero and all functions must beturned off, in order to be able to call up thedesired locomotive or powered rail car.The Main MenuThe main menu can be reached from the operatingmenu by pressing the ESC button.The desired submenu is selected by turning thecontrol knob and is called up by pressing onceon the control knob.
