No sound from the decoder

Confirm that the HM7000 decoder is correctly seated in the 21-pin socket. Check the volume settings in the HM7000 app or on your DCC controller. Ensure the sound is not muted.

Lights not working

Verify that the locomotive is receiving adequate power. Check the lighting functions within your DCC controller or HM7000 app to ensure they are activated.

Poor running or stuttering

Clean the locomotive's wheels and the track. Check for any obstructions or damage to the wheel flanges. Ensure the track is level and properly laid.

App cannot connect to the locomotive

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device. Make sure the locomotive is powered on and within range. Try closing and reopening the HM7000 app. Reset the locomotive's DCC address to default if issues persist.
