Since some throttles have a limited number of physical function buttons TCS created "Light Mode" and "Sound Mode". While in Light Mode function buttons will control lights, while in sound mode the function buttons will control sounds. To switch between the modes press the Audio Assist Button (default is F8) twice in rapid succession and the decoder will announce the mode you are now in, feedback can be disabled with CV176 "User Options 1 CV".
There are sometimes where you may want both a sound and a light to respond together with a single button press such as pressing F2 to blow the horn and blink the ditch lights, in this case you need the function to be "dual enabled"
There are two additional function pages available (if enabled in User Options CV 2) in addition to Light Mode and Sound Mode. "Function Page 3" and "Function Page 4". On Function Page 3 pushing F0 is the same as pressing F10, F1 becomes F11 ... F9 becomes F19. On Function Page 4 F0 becomes F20, F1 is F21 ... F8 is F28. This feature is useful for command stations that don't support extended functions as it allows users to access all functions even if the command station can't actually send a DCC packet for that function. *Note - If a function packet higher then 9 is sent while on function page 3 or 4 the packet will not have an offset. IE F10-F28 always activate F10-F28 regardless of the active function page.
