To turn speed control on and off,

 put the engine in neutral, then quickly tap the 

transformer's horn/whistle button one time then quickly tap the Bell button two 
times, allowing approximately ½ second to lapse between each quick button press.  
Repeat the 1 horn/whistle, 2 bells code to return it to the other condition.  You 
will want to do this during the initial neutral upon start-up if  you ever couple this 
engine to another engine that is not equipped with speed control to avoid 
damaging the motors in either engine.  Each time you shut down the engine 
completely, it will automatically turn speed control on.

Lock into a Direction:

You can lock your engine into a direction (forward, neutral, or reverse) so that it 
will not change directions.  To do this, put the engine into the direction you want 
(or into neutral to lock it into neutral), run it at a very slow crawl (as slowly as it 
will move without halting), and quickly but firmly tap the Horn/Whistle button 
once followed by three quick taps of the Bell button, allowing approximately ½ 
second to lapse between each quick button press. Two horn/whistle blasts will 
indicate that the engine has made the change.  The engine will not change direction 
(including going into neutral) until you repeat the 1 horn/whistle, 3 bells code to 
return the engine to its normal condition, even if  the engine is kept without power 
for extended periods of  time.

Reset to Factory Defaults:

To override the settings you currently have assigned to the engine and reset it to its 
factory defaults, while in Neutral tap the Horn/Whistle button quickly once, 
followed by five quick taps of the Bell button, allowing approximately ½ second to 
lapse between each quick button press. Two horn/whistle blasts will indicate that 
the engine has made the change.

conventional mode conditions:

!

Cab Chatter

 plays at random intervals when the engine idles in neutral.

!

Engine Start-up and Shut-down

 sounds play when the engine is initially
