F2
Whistle
Blows the whistle for as long as it's on. There are several different ending signatures
depending on how long you hold the button down. Check it out!
F4 PFA
PFA in MTH lingo stands for
passenger and freight announcements
. Since your engine
provides freight service, you'll hear freight yard sounds. PFA is a very popular sound
feature that's a staple in almost all MTH products. We had to give you this!
(Depending on your system, you might need to press F4 to move through each sequence.)
There are
4
sound sequences or segments in PFA. You advance through them at your
command. Each segment has a minimum time of ~10 seconds but more sounds play
the longer you listen.
-When running the engine, simply press the F4 key to activate PFA. When you bring the
engine to a stop, the arrival sequence will play. You can remain in this segment as long
as you like.
-Press F4 again, and advance to disembarking sequence. Again, you can listen to this
sequence as long as you like.
-Press F4 again, and advance to the embarking sequence. Again, you can listen to this
sequence as long as you like.
-Press F4 again, and advance to the departure sequence. After the engineer says
“Just keep the steam up” and the engine will automatically pull out and resume the
speed and direction of when you entered the feature. The bell ring for a short while and
then turn off automatically.
Lighting
As with other feature categories, lighting in DCC mode operates just like conventional
DC with regard to rule 17, constant brightness and directional behavior. See that
section for details. DCC provides some additional control to suit your preferences.
F0
Headlight
Toggles the headlight on/off.
F5
Lights (Also see F19 & F20 for more Lighting Controls)
Toggles all lighting (except the head & tail light) on/off, including Marker LED's.
When on, all lighting behaves automatically as described elsewhere. When F5 is off, all
lighting is off.

Master Volume
F6 – Master Volume
The Master Volume operation in DCC is different. In order to change the master
volume (F6) you need to do the following:
A.
If you have F6 set as momentary you would hold down F6 and it will
increase the volume to 100%. You would want to release F6 when you get to
the volume level you desire. It will stop at 100%. To decrease the volume
press and hold F6 and release when you get to the desired volume. If you go
too far then release F6 and then press and hold F6 again and it will increase
the volume.
B.
If you have F6 set as a toggle then pressing F6 will start the volume
increasing to 100%. Press it again to shut F6 off when you reach the desired
level. If you activate F6 again it will start the volume decreasing to 0. Press F6
again to deactivate the bit and set your volume.
