Installing the battery
A
lthough the LEGACY RailSounds sound system is powered through the track, you may choose
to install a nine-volt alkaline battery if you find that the sound system shuts down during
track power interruptions (for example, at a switch or over a dirty section of track). Follow these
steps to install the battery.
If the RailSounds sound system turns off during interruptions in track power, you may
need to replace the battery. Use only alkaline batteries.
1. Lift up and remove the roof panel on the short nose end.
2. Remove the protective cover from the battery harness.
3. Snap the battery harness onto the nine-volt alkaline battery’s terminals.
4. Slide the battery into the battery clip.
5. Replace the roof panel.
