MTH F3 Diesel Engine
ProtoSound features back to their original factory defaults including
Remote Lockout Control.
RESETTING ALL PROTOSOUND® OPTIONS TO
FACTORY DEFAULTS
ProtoSounds® is equipped with a RESET feature (Feature 18) that resets
all programmable options back to their original factory settings. This is a
useful feature if you find your engine not operating the way you think it
should and don’t want to take the time to check each RESET feature one at
a time. To reset all the RESET features back to their original factory
settings, enter RESET and
go to Feature 18. (See the
section entitled
Using
RESET To Program
ProtoSounds®
on page
17). Once in Feature 18,
press the transformer
whistle button and wait for
ProtoSounds to sound a
garbled bell sound.
TURNING OFF CAB CHATTER SOUNDS
“Cab Chatter" sounds occur in the neutral position every 2 to 30 seconds.
There are four “Chatter" messages which play at random times. This helps
to eliminate repetitive and boring messages. While the sounds are selected
to play randomly by the unit’s computer, there is no guarantee that you
won’t hear the same message repeated twice or more times. If you don’t
want to hear the Cab Chatter sounds, they can be turned off through Feature
23. To turn off the Cab Chatter sounds, enter RESET and go to Feature 23.
(See the section
Using RESET To Program ProtoSounds® on Page 17.)
Once in Feature 23, press the transformer whistle button and wait for
ProtoSounds to sound a bell ding(s). Continue pressing the whistle button
until ProtoSounds sounds two bell dings (signifying that the module has
been programmed to turn the Cab Chatter off). Simply turn the transformer
throttle off and then on again to lock in your selection. To turn the Cab
Chatter sounds back on again, repeat the above process, but keep pressing
the transformer whistle button in Feature 23 until ProtoSounds only sounds
one bell ding.
