Operating Modes
1. Manual Mode
Upon initial power application, the engine will start up in manual mode. The chart
below lists the features available to the operator when in Manual Mode. Different
features are available when operating in Learn and Auto Modes, which are
described later.
Transit Announcement Sounds (TAS)
Your Proto-Sound 2.0 model is equipped with operator controlled Transit
Announcement Sounds, hereafter known as TAS. This easy-to-use feature plays
digitally reproduced transit announcements and platform action sounds whenever
you activate and stop your engine. No additional wires or modifications are needed
on your layout to enjoy these amazing sound effects. These different sounds are
heard each time you give a long bell button press. The entire TAS sequence is
designed to simulate the arrival, disembarking, embarking, and departure of a
transit stop. The sounds include the driver announcing the stop and the upcoming
stop, passenger disembarking and embarking sounds, driver to passenger requests,
door openings and closing and general transit stop sounds. After the station
sounds have finished, the engine will shift back into gear and, if the throttle is set
high enough, will pull away from the station. To activate the TAS, press and hold
the bell button for approximately 2 seconds.
If you do not wish to stop at the station that is announced after activating TAS,
press and hold the bell button again without throttling down the train.
