I have read through the manual and I have the dip switch settings on the back set to Universal (2-on,1,3,4-off). I can put a loco on the track and it drives fine. The main function button will turn the lights on and off. The other function buttons (f1-f4) do nothing. I don't have the LED light up above them and the train doesn't respond. The V160 is supposed to have horn sounds but they do not activate. Did I do something wrong or did I get a bad 6021? Thanks

Tried just putting in the address number and so the "L" and "F" buttons are lit up. Now the functions work properly and my train has a horn. Cheers

Then the side with the loco address that you control the speed from should also have the functions available.

By pressing L and F you can assign different addresses to F1-F4 and F0/speed. By pressing L you turned F off and F1-F4 kept the old address and horn didn't work. It's a feature, not a bug: You can run a soundless loco and still control the horn of the V 160 at times.
