1. What is HandControl?
The HandControl is a non-central control device for your model railroad, and is used in
conjunction with the digital control EasyControl. It is connected to the EasyNet in addition to the
central unit MasterControl. It is possible to connect up to 64 HandControls or other non-central
control devices to one EasyNet. This enables you to control your model railroad from various
positions either alone, or together with other operators.
The HandControl sends the control instructions to the MasterControl which passes on the
instructions to every kind of decoder on your layout. The HandControls allows the access to data
in the locomotive database of the MasterControl and enables you to change the data.
The display and controls of the HandControls and their mode of operation tally virtually with those
of the MasterControl. This allows completely unproblematic changes between the MasterControl
and any connected HandControl(s) during operation.

2. Getting started
Checking contents
Please make sure that your package contains:
§ the decentralised control device HandControl,
§ this manual.
Safety instructions
The HandControl should only be used in digital model railways in concordance with these
instructions. It is not suitable for use by children under 14. Incorrect use can be dangerous. In
particular there is a risk of electric shock through contact with metal parts under power, especially
when an incorrect voltage is used, or when operated in a too humid or wet environment.
Therefore the following precations should be observed:
§ Wiring should only be carry out when the control is disconnected.
§ Only operate indoors in a dry environment.
§ Only use proprietry transformers with the correct voltage.
§ Only connect the transformer in an authorised manner to the house power supply.
§ Use adequetly thick cable for all wiring. Too thin a cable can overheat.
§ If the layout is exposed to condensation, allow at least two hours for drying out.
Remarks concerning this manual
The operation of the HandControl differs hardly from that of the MasterControl. For that reason
we have refrained from repeating corresponding passages from the manual of the MasterControl
and have confined ourselves to stating the differences and the particularities of the HandControl.
