Error Description
A short circuit has been detected on the programming track.
Check relevant connections and/or decoder installation in the
locomotive.
No value was found during the readout of a Register, or no
response was received after a value was entered. However, this

program again. You should also check if the locomotive is on
the right programming track and/or the installation of the
decoder.

Adding Additional Throttles
If you would like to have more than one operator on your layout, you may
connect up to five additional Commanders or handhelds that conform to
XpressNET standards to your original unit. When you have more than one
Commander, one becomes the "master" and the other(s) become "slaves." The
master provides track power, the slaves do not. Any Commander (master or
slave) that is connected to a Generator may be used for programming. In the
