Do you have a programming track...?? If so, these are the steps:

1.- Put offending engine on prog. track.
2.- Press the PROG key 'til PAGE shows on the LCD.
3.- Press the LOCO key - Depending if you're using 2 digit or 4 digit addressing, press the LOCO key 'till the correct setting shows (Ad2/Ad4).
4.- Press CV-RD to read the address the loco is programmed to. If you want to change the number, enter a new address # and press the CV-WR. The new number should show on the LCD.
5. Press EXIT to get back to operating mode. Set loco on regular track, choose the newly written address, and off you go...(Hopefully).
