Press orsqueeze the ties together to connect. This may require the help of an adult. Recheck all trackconnection points upon completing your layout to be sure they are secure. To disassemble the track just lift one of the track sections slightly at an angle where theyjoin together and they will snap apart. See Figure 1. The rails should be kept clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, and dirt. Clean the trackperiodically with a clean soft cloth. Figure 1. Assembling and disassembling the track

Operating your trainThe wireless controller urn the power switch on the side of the wireless controller to the up or ON position. The red LED at the top of the speed dial will illuminate to tell you the controller is on. Turn the power switch on the wireless controller to the down or OFF position when not inuse. The LED at the top of the dial will go out to indicate the power is off. See Figure 7. Leaving the wireless controller power ON when not in use will drain the controller’s battery.3 BUTTON WIRELESS CONTROLLERFigure 7. Using the wireless controllerPairing the wireless controller to your Ready-to-PlayTM train set ith the wireless controller turned off, turn the locomotive power switch to the “ON” position. The locomotive will produce a loud beeping sound, while the headlight will be off, and the cab light is blinking on and off. Turn the wireless controller on. The locomotive sounds will turn on, the headlight will illuminate, and the cab light will turn off as long as the train is stopped (at idle). If the controller is turned on PRIOR to the locomotive, the LED on the remote will blink on and off. Once the remote pairs with the locomotive, the LED on the controller will turn solid if the position of the dial is in the neutral/idle position and the knob is facing up. The locomotive sounds will come alive as described above.TNote!FORWARDREVERSEWHISTLEBELLFORWARDREVERSEWHISTLEBELLPower on lightONOFF11WNote!
Operating your trainOperating your wireless controller urn your wireless controller to the ON position by sliding the button on the right side of the controller up. An LED on top of the dial will light to indicate the power is on (See Figure 7 on page 11). See Figure 8 on page 13 for button operations. Forward Turn the throttle dial to the right towards GREEN. There are three speeds in the forward position and the more you turn the dial along the green arrow, the faster the train will run. The flashing rate of the LED will be consistent with the speed. The 3 speeds are slow (slow blink), medium (medium blink) and fast (fast blink). Once the locomotive begins to move, the cab light will turn on and stay on as long as the locomotive is moving.Stop Turning the dial to the top will stop the train. Note that it may take up to several seconds for thetrain to come to a complete stop depending on how fast it was going. Make sure to bring the train toa complete stop before changing direction.Reverse Turn the dial towards the blue REVERSE position to have the train move in reverse. Again,there are three speeds in the reverse position. The more you turn the dial along the blue arrow, the faster the train will go. The flashing rate of the LED will be consistent with the speed.Bell Pressing the BELL button activates the locomotive's bell sound.Center Button with Music Note (Depending on which set purchased) Pressing the center button marked with a music note activates a special announcement when stopped and another announcement when moving.Whistle Pressing the WHISTLE button activates the locomotive's whistle. If the locomotive power switch is turned off while the locomotive is moving, it will stop. The LED on the controller will begin to blink slowly, signifying it has lost communication with the locomotive. If the controller is turned off while the train is running the locomotive will slow down and stop. The headlight will turn off, cab light will begin flashing and a loud beeping sound will begin playing (notifying the operator to slide the power switch to the “OFF” position to conserve battery life). Leaving the Wireless Controller power ON when not in use will drain the controller’s battery.12TNote!Note!

14Maintenance and operationsIMPORTANT : BATTERY INFORMATIONPlease retain this information for future reference.Batteries should be replaced by an adult.• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.• Different types of batteries or new and used batteries are not to be mixed.• Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended are to be used.• Batteries are to be inserted with correct polarity.• Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the toy.• The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.• Dispose of battery(ies) safely.• Do not dispose of this product in a fire. The batteries inside may explode or leak.• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.• Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the toy before being charged.• Rechargeable batteries are only to be used under adult supervision. CAUTION: Cleaning the track It is very important to keep the track and wheels free from dirt and grease. Wipe them with asoft cloth whenever they get dirty. This will help the locomotive run more efficiently.
Maintenance and operationsTroubleshootingThe train will not run and the locomotive light is not on. The locomotive cab light is blinking.1. Check to see if the wireless controller is in the OFF position.2. After checking the above and if the light is still not on replace the 6 ‘C’ batteries in the locomotive. Be sure the batteries are oriented as indicated in the battery compartment (see page 8 and 9). After replacing the batteries, slide the switch to the ON position.The train will not run but the engine headlight and sounds are on.1. Check to make sure the wireless controller power switch is in the ON position. This will be indicated by the red LED being illuminated. 2. Try moving the controller closer to the locomotive. Although designed for an optimal range of 10 feet, the signal can be weakened by a metal object or other interference. 3. Be sure the controller is not lying flat on the floor and the controller is positioned above the level of the train.4. Replace the 3 ‘AAA’ batteries in the controller (see page 7). Be sure that the batteries are oriented as indicated in the battery compartment.The train will not run and the cab light is flickering.1. Check to see if your wireless controller's power light is on. Give the train a new command such as the whistle button. If the lamp remains flickering and the whistle will not sound, either your locomotive or controller needs repair. If the cab light changes to a steady white glow and the whistle does not sound, your locomotive needs repair. Please contact Lionel service. See page 16. The train runs, but the wheels slip on the track.1. Check the top of the track rails and rubberized drive wheels for dirt or grease. Clean with a soft dry or slightly dampened cloth.2. Check to see that all of the wheels of both the locomotive, tender and cars are located properly on the track. 15White cab light.Under normal conditions the cab light will turn on as the train runs.
