MORE: Selecting with the Direction Button on
Your Transformer
Another way to rapidly advance through RESET Positions is to turn the throttle up to its highest setting
and press the direction button
briefly to interrupt the power. (QS-2+ is designed not to leave RESET at a
high throttle setting, but be ready to turn down the throttle quickly in case the engine suddenly enters
forward.) Use the "pssht" sounds to count; stop and listen to the "clinks" and "clanks" to check what
position you are in. When you are ready to leave RESET, bring the throttle down about half-way (below
10v.) and hesitate one or two seconds before interrupting the power for a direction change. This pause
gives QS-2+ time to identify the transformer before you leave RESET.
How to Operate RESET Feature Choices
Once you reach the RESET Position you want, you can operate (move through)
the choices for that RESET Feature using the horn button.
The first time you press the horn button, you will hear one or more "dings." For
most of the RESET Features, these "dings" tell you which choice was last set
for this Feature. (With ID Numbers and Chuff/ Diesel Motor Threshold RESET
Features, the "dings" are used differently. These special cases are described
under their RESET Feature names in Section 6, the RESET Feature Reference
Guide.)
For example, if you enter RESET Position #23 (four "clanks," three "clinks")
and press the horn button, you will hear two "dings," telling you this Feature
was set to have special sounds in neutral turned on. These special sounds are
diesel cab chatter or extra steam neutral sounds. Press the horn button again,
and you will hear one "ding." You have just turned these special sounds off.
Run your engine for a while, and notice the sounds are off. Then return to
RESET Position #23. Now when you press the horn button, you will hear
"ding," telling you this QS-2+ feature is set for the first choice, or in this case,
the sounds turned off. Press the horn button again, and you will hear two
"dings," and QS-2+ will cycle back to the second choice, which is diesel cab
chatter or extra steam sounds on.
MORE: Transformer Horn Buttons
The older Lionel horn buttons actually go through two positions when they are pressed, one at the half-
way point, and the second when the button is pressed all the way down. Pressing the horn button in all
the way gives you lots of track power but a weak horn signal, so your engine may not pick up the
message you are trying to send it. Pressing the horn button in half-way gives you a strong horn signal, so
your engine responds to the command quickly. If you have problems operating RESET choices,
experiment with pressing the horn button on your transformer half-way when operating RESET
Features. See Appendix I, "Troubles with Transformers," for more information.
