 You can probably download the manual from that page (or the “Downloads” page) if you don’t have it.
 
DCC loco decoders are normally factory set to be able to automatically run happily on DC track. The operation manual should confirm (or deny) this in the “DC Operation” section. If not set, anyone with a DCC controlled layout can set this decoder function for you. (Or maybe a local club or shop ?) (Take the loco manual with you.)
 
However, a DCC loco will normally only start moving at a higher DC voltage (~6 to 8V), as the DCC electronics need the higher DC volts to start working.
