Programming the OMNI system to suit your needs.
Your OMNI transmitter and receiver comes to you all pre-set and ready to run regular
electric trains. Forwards and Backwards are on the regulator knob and the three top
black buttons can activate sounds via momentary switches to negative. Normally
there should be no need to change these settings, however...
The OMNI R/C system is ideal, in that when you wish to re-program it to suit the spe-
cial needs for a particular loco, it is not the transmitter you are re-programming, but
the receiver in the loco. The transmitter tells the receiver what is expected of it in the
future, and it is the receiver that remembers it. In this way, one OMNI transmitter can
control many different types of locos, each with its own very different requirements.
It is possible to change all or just one of the top black buttons from momentary to
latching. The regulator knob can have its centre stop position changed too.

Low battery warning
When the batteries in the handset get too low for reliable operation, both LED 1
and 2 start f lashing together. Replace them with quality alkaline AAA cells for the
best results,
Re-Programming the top Buttons for momentary or
latching operation See our website for a link to video instructions.
(All are momentary by default)
This procedure must be started within 20 seconds of turning on the receiver:
1. Start by switching on the model, so that the receiver is ON.
2. With the Transmitter turned OFF. Press and hold button 1 and 2.
3. Turn the Transmitter ON.
4. Both LED’s will start flashing, then go solid, indicating successful entry to
the Button Calibration mode. At this point, release the two buttons. LED 2 now
starts flashing.
Once in Button Calibration Mode, there is no exit except Transmitter power Off.
CHANGING BUTTONS FROM MOMENTARY TO LATCHING
The direction switch and regulator knob are used to change the function of a button
from latching to Momentary or Vice Versa. Put the regulator knob to the full power
position and set the reversing switch to the desired direction and then simply press
the buttons as required to set them to that state.
Full power Reverse = Momentary Full power Forward = Latched
Press the required buttons to save the settings for those functions.
For example if you want function 2 to be latching, switch to forward and press button
2.
You can now change another button, or simply turn the transmitter off to exit the cali-
bration routine.
