Your Digitrax decoder is ready to run and will operate using address 03 with no
additional programming. For a more prototypical railroading experience, your
decoder can be customized for your specific locomotive by programming some
of the Configuration Variables, or CVs, available. See the Digitrax Decoder
Manual or the Digitrax web site for more information.

The first CV most people change is the decoder address. This allows you to
independently control each loco with a unique address. Digitrax decoders are
shipped with CV01 (AD2), the two digit address, set to 03. Following is a brief
description of how to change the decoder address with a Digitrax DT series
throttle. See your Starter Set Manual for complete programming instructions.

1 Place the loco on the programming track. Go into Program Mode on your

system. On DT400 press 

PROG

. On DT300, DT100 & DT200 press

RUN/STOP

& 

FN/F0

.

2.  Choose AD2 for 2 digit addressing or AD4 for 4 digit addressing (DT300 &

DT400). (Ad for DT100 & DT200, see your Starter Set manual for 4 digit
instructions).

3. Use your throttle to choose the address you want to set up for the decoder.

4. Complete address programming. On DT400 press 

ENTER

. On DT300,

DT100 & DT200 press 

SEL

.

Note: 

CV29 must also be programmed to e.g. 38 to enable 4 digit addressing,

this is done automatically by the DT300 & DT400 but not on earlier throttles.
