To program stations:
1. Running in Forward, stop the unit at the desired location for the first stop by pressing
the direction button. Note: if you stop the engine with the throttle control, you must
re-apply power so that the engine goes into neutral and does not shut down.
2. Enter Learn Mode by pressing Horn-Bell-Bell-Bell-Bell. The train will then announce
that you have entered Learn Mode.
3. Press and hold the Bell button to scroll through the available stations until you hear the
one that you would like to be your first stop. Release the button quickly as soon as you
have heard the desired stop name.
4. Press and hold the Horn button until a "saved" response confirms that station's
location and name are saved in memory.
5. Proceed to the next stop by pressing the Direction button.
6. Press the Direction button to stop the train again when you have reached the next
desired station location.
7. Using the Bell button, select the name of the station, then save using the Horn button.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 until you are ready to program the last stop in the route.
9. The manner of saving the last station in the route determines whether the route will be
an "Out & Back" or "Loop" route.
“Out & Back”
Follow steps 5-7 to save the last station. After you press the Horn button and the sound
system plays the "Saved" confirmation, press the Horn button again. Another "Saved"
confirmation will play and the car will exit Learn Mode and enter Manual Mode.
“Loop”
Follow steps 5-7 to save the last station. Press the Direction button once to start the car in
forward and stop the car at the location of the first stop by pressing the Direction button.
Press the Bell button as many times as is necessary to hear the name of the first stop.
Press the Horn button until the "Saved" confirmation is played. The car will then
automatically exit Learn Mode and enter Manual Mode.
Notes:
Always approach a desired station stop location while running in Forward. Learn
mode counts distance traveled, not actual physical locations. However, unlike an
automobile's odometer, Proto-Sound 3.0 Learn Mode does erase distance when traveling
in reverse. If you operate your car past the desired stop location, you may back it up to the
desired stop location, however you must put the car into forward and then neutral again
before saving the stop name and location into memory.
3. Auto Mode
When you have finished programming your stations in Learn Mode the car will be in
Manual Mode. Running in Forward, stop the car at the location of the first programmed
station
by pressing the Direction button. Press Bell-Horn-Horn to put the train into
Auto Mode. Press the Direction button again to begin operation in Auto Mode. Because
Auto Mode operation begins at the first stop, the next stop announced will be the
second stop.
