Additional F Functions
F4 – Station Announcement
Please refer to page 9 for a description of this feature. The operation instructions
follow.
Note:
F4 has two functions with trolley/subways:
1. It scrolls through the station announcements to allow you to pick a specific station to
stop at in Manual Mode.
2. It scrolls though the station announcements to allow you to pick the station stop you
want to program while the engine is in Learn Mode.
Depending upon how you have F4 set to function (toggle or momentary) you will want
to turn F4 On then Off to get the station announcement to play. It is best to follow the
table above for the specific operation for each F-Function.
Manual Mode Operation using F4:
1. While the engine is moving press F4 so it goes On then Off. You will hear a station
announcement (for example, “Next Stop, Times Square.”).
2. Manually drive the engine to where you’d like it to stop and bring the speed to zero.
3. The engine will begin playing its random station sounds. These are sounds of a
station that include all the ambient noises one might hear.
4. Once you are ready to depart the station simply roll the throttle up to your desired
speed and the engine will wrap up its station sounds and play a departing
announcement. Shortly after it will start moving.
5. You can repeat this process as often as you like. You can also scroll through the list
of stations to get to one in particular you’d like it to stop at. The last station
announcement the engine makes is the one it will stop at. If you happen to go past the
one you want you can continue toggling F4 until you hear it again. The station
announcements loop around in the list.
F7 – Auto Mode
Auto Mode is a mode of operation that allows the engine to run along a pre-
programmed route that you have taught it. When F7 is On the engine will announce
“Auto Mode”. Toggling F7 Off will shut off Auto Mode and put the engine back into
Manual Mode. The engine will not announce that it’s in Manual Mode, however. Again,
please refer to the table above for how the F-Function buttons should be working to get
the desired results.
