Bachmann Dynamis Problems

Hi,

I just got my new Bachmann Dynamis (upgrade from Bachmann EZ Command). Having a couple of issues with it:

1. When I start the Bachmann Dynamis connected to a straight piece of track (no turnouts and no loops) it takes about 4-5 minutes before it connects to the remote. During this time, the base station continues to blink the left light, an indicator of short or stop-button-press, even though neither the stop button is pressed nor is there a short on the track.

2. When I connect an EZ Track turnout to the track, the Bachmann Dynamis basically stops working and the left light on the base station continues to blink. The user guide says the following about EZ Track turnouts... What does it mean?


"If using Bachmann track products:

E-Z Track ® can be used without modification because the turnouts do not self
isolate.

Branchline track does self isolate. The turnouts can be modified simply by placing
staples (larger, staple gun type) at the locations indicated although permanently
wired connectors would be recommended for a permanent layout to ensure reliable
operation."
