Connect the output of your E-Z Command to the DCC input of the booster.  Connect the output of the booster to your tracks.  Apply power to the booster and to the E-Z Command.

i know that but is there a special way to connect it to the track or just use a power cable that red cable that connected to the track and splice that together or is there one already made for that purpose

i have a striped bare wire that came with the booster and then i have a standard red power wire that came with my first set can i connect the standard power wire from the booster to the track or use the bare wire and solder that right to the track or get some spade connectors and crimp them on to the bare wire and run with that ???
