Volume Remedy
The sounds seem distorted, especially when
the whistle or bell is activated.
No Sound
Proto-Sound 2.0 volume is set too high. Turn the
volume control knob on the bottom of the chassis
counter-clockwise to reduce the volume.
Volume is set too low, adjust volume control knob
on the bottom of the chassis clockwise to increase
the volume or check connector to speaker.
Battery Remedy
The engine will not leave the initial neutral
setting.
I get no sounds when the engine shifts
between directions.
After I turn off my transformer, my engine
continues to make sounds before quitting.
Check to be sure the battery is installed and fully
charged. See the "Self-Charging Battery Back-
Up" section.
The battery may be dead or need to be charged.
See the "Self-Charging Battery Back-Up" section.
Proto-Sound 2.0 is designed to continue to sound
for a few seconds after power to the track has
been shut off to allow for a more realistic shut-
down.
PSA Remedy
19
The PSA sounds occasionally repeat
themselves.
Once in PSA, the engine doesn't go into
reverse.
When the PSA enters its last sequence the
bell automatically comes on.
When PSA is enabled, pressing the Horn and
bell buttons has no effect.
I push the Direction button but the next
sound clip in the sequence does not play or
the engine does not come out of PSA after
the fourth press of the Direction button.
Proto-Sound 2.0 has a built-in random number
generator that randomly selects each sound clip to
play. Because there are a limited number of
sound clips available in each PSA sequence, it is
probable that some of these sound clips will be
repeated from time to time.
So that PSA effects can be as realistic as possible,
Proto-Sound 2.0 disables the reversing unit
whenever PSA is enabled. This way the engine
remains still at its stop as the operator cycles
through the PSA sequences.
PSA is programmed to start ringing the bell and
then to put the engine in motion at that point.
After approximately 15 rings of the bell, it will
automatically turn off.
Because PSA must control various effects in each
sequence, Proto-Sound 2.0 takes control of these
sound effects until you exit PSA.
Each PSA clip must play for a certain amount of
time before PSA will advance to the next step in
the PSA cycle. Wait at least 30 seconds in each
PSA sound clip before pressing the Direction
button.
