vents opening, the Diesel Motor starting up, the Air Pumps starting up, followed by a Long Air Let-off and the locomotive entering normal
operation.
Note:
During the Start Up procedure, none of the DCC function keys are active. If the throttle is turned up from zero during any of the above Start Up
procedures, the Start Up procedure will abort and the locomotive will enter normal operation.
Note:
Whenever a Start Up command is sent, regardless of whether the locomotive is in Shut Down or operating normally (in Neutral), the Quantum
System will automatically restore all Automatic Control.
Mute (F8)
The Quantum System allows you to reduce the System Volume to a lower level or increase it back to its original setting using the F8 function
key. This capability is useful when you need to reduce the sound to engage in a conversation or to answer the phone. If you have many trains
operating at once, you can reduce the volume on all those that are running in the background of the layout and increase the volume of the
closest locomotive

.
Press the F8 key in Neutral or Forward/Reverse to gradually decrease or increase the locomotive’s volume.
Note:
Mute state is not maintained if power is turned off and then turned back on; the locomotive will return to full volume setting.
Note:
Mute Volume can be programmed in CV 51.1.
Function Key Operation in Neutral
Some function keys used in Forward and Reverse will have different effects when used in Neutral:
The F7 key produces Squealing Brake Sounds for a moving locomotive but produces Diesel/Turbine transitions in Neutral.
Pressing F6 results in Doppler shift for a moving locomotive but activates Start Up in Neutral.
Pressing F9 produces Cruise Control (under RTC and STC) in a moving locomotive but activates Shut Down in Neutral.
Note:
The
Horn, Bell, Doppler Shift, Squealing Brake and Neutral sounds are described in detail on pages 23-24, in the
Quantum System Sounds
section
of this manual.

The Gas Turbine Mute feature changes the volume immediately unlike later model Quantum locomotives that changes the sound gradually over a few seconds.
