Premier U50C Diesel Engine Operating Instructions

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 (1/2
second); you may need to practice your timing to make this work smoothly. 

Feature to Be Activated:

Freight Yard Sounds
Fire the Rear Coupler
Fire the Front Coupler
Speed Control On/Off
Lock into a Direction/Unlock
