martingonemad Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Am I missing something? I use the Hornby Elite, but I cannot get the function buttons to go beyond 12, therefore, I can only obtain 12 sounds out of 17. I am new to model railways with zero knowledge or experience. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Welcome to the forum, Martin. It looks as if you understand how to get functions 10 onwards on the Elite then, by pressing the function button again and selecting 0 for 10, 1 for 11, 2 for 12, for instance. You can in fact press the function button yet again for even higher numbers if they are ever needed for a loco with that sort of number. On that basis I see no reason why you can't get functions 13+ with 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Please report back if still not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martingonemad Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 I can get functions 1-12, but if I enter a higher number it seems to not recognise it ie it returns to 00. Am I entering the commands wrong? I press the function button followed by the number, but as I say it will not enter any higher than 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrow Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Can i ask what update number is your elite, eg when you turn it on, is it, 13 14, etc. If its up to date, as graskie says, twill work. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martingonemad Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 It's V 1.0. I have, without success, tried to upgrade to V1.4, but that's another topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDS Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 @MartinI have checked the Instruction manual for the earlier version of Elite and originally it only allowed 12 functions that were selected by pressing the Function button followed by the relevant number entered on the keypad.On the later software versions of Elite, Pressing the function button once gives functions F00 - F09, the second press gives F10 - F19 and a third press gives F20 - F28. In each of the above presses the function number you want is then selected by pressing the relevant key on the key pad. So, for example to get F17, you would press the Function key twice followed by the 7 key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I never thought about a previous restriction to just 12 functions, RDS. Now it all makes sense, thanks to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
