Headlight mode: 
0 = Operation with 14 or 27 speed-step 
systems. This setting must be selected when 
the locomotive decoder is used with any 
DCC system that does not support the 28 
speed-step mode. If the headlights turn on 
and off as the speed is increased, the 
command station is configured for 28 speed-
steps, and the decoder is set for 14 speed-
steps. 
1 = Operation with 28, 55 or 128 speed 
steps. If you use this setting, the Command 
Station must also be configured to use either 
the 28 speed-step mode or the 128 speed-
step mode; otherwise, the headlights cannot 
be controlled.
