— VERY IMPORTANT —
Before you manually change any of the volume control CVs, you must set CV
31 to 16 and then CV 32 to 1. CV 31 and CV 32 are used as index selection
registers and if you don’t set them first, unspeakable things may happen to
your unit. You must set the CVs every time before changing any volume CV
settings.
Or just get a LokProgrammer. No, we will not teach you how to use it!

FACTORY RESET
On your F59PH you can perform a factory reset by entering a value of “8” into CV
8. Note that this will cause all of your new volume and motor settings to be lost, so
you will need to reprogram any settings that you want to keep. What do you mean,
you didn’t take any notes? WE JUST TOLD YOU TAKE NOTES. If we had a band,
you’d be kicked out of it. Again!
You can NOT lose all of the pre-recorded sounds on your F59PH decoder by doing
a factory reset. However, after performing a factory reset your F59PH may begin
to sound like Foster Hewitt calling a Maple Leafs game. If that happens, you have
probably lost your mind. We also don’t know how to change it to Dick Irvin calling
a Canadiens game either. But don’t worry. Just sit back, grab some popcorn and
enjoy the game.
By the way, pay no attention to the person breaking into your layout room attempting
to steal your Rapido F59PH because they misread the instructions on Page 4.
