RailSounds sound system operations
Installing the battery
W
hile the RailSounds sound system is powered through the track, we recommend that you
install a nine-volt alkaline battery in the tender to prevent the sound system from
shutting down during track power interruptions (for example, at a switch or a dirty section of
track). Follow these steps and refer to Figure 3 on page 10 as you install the battery.
If the RailSounds sound system turns off during interruptions in track power, you
may need to replace the battery.
1. Remove the body screws from the underside of the tender. Refer to Figure 3 on page 10 for
the location of the screws.
2. Lift the body off the frame. Be careful to avoid pulling on the wires that connect the body to
the frame.
3. Remove the protective cover from the battery harness.
4. Snap the battery harness onto the nine-volt alkaline battery’s terminals.
5. Slide the battery into the battery clip.
6. Replace the body on the frame and secure it with the body mounting screws. Be careful to
avoid pinching any wires between the body and the frame.
