Proto-Sound 2.0 Operating Instructions

This manual contains the operating instructions for Proto-Sound 2.0 in
conventional mode only.  Instructions for accessing DCS command mode
features accompany the DCS Remote Control System equipment.

Because Proto-Sound 2.0 is an all-new system developed by M.T.H.’s own
research and development team, it operates differently from original
Proto-Sound. Most Proto-Sound 2.0 features are automatically enabled, and
the reset state has been eliminated, so there is no need to program features as
with original Proto-Sound. Although the new system is easier to operate than
original Proto-Sound, you should read these instructions thoroughly before
using Proto-Sound 2.0 features in order to prevent harm to yourself or your
equipment. 

Activating Proto-Sound 2.0 Conventional Mode Features:

Proto-Sound 2.0 features are activated by sequences of Bell and Whistle
button pushes described below.  Please read the full descriptions of each
feature before using it.  To use these buttons to activate features rather than to
blow the whistle or ring the bell, you should press the buttons for a shorter
time (½ second); you may need to practice your timing to make this work
smoothly.

Feature to Be Activated:

Lumber Yard Sounds
Fire the Rear Coupler
Speed Control On/Off
Lock into a Direction/Unlock
Reset to Factory Defaults

Button Code:

1 Bell, 2 Whistles
1 Bell, 3 Whistles
