release the bell button. (
Note:
because the air release sound is hard to
hear, we recommend that you count out a full three seconds before
releasing the bell button
.) The bell will continue to chime, so if you want to
turn off the bell ringing, simply press and release the bell button a second
time. If you were in neutral when you triggered this feature, interrupt the
transformer throttle to enter either forward or reverse to allow the engine to
begin running. (
Note:
the feature will only be activated in the first
direction state you enter after triggering the feature from the neutral
position. You cannot interrupt the power twice to enter another direction
state and still have this feature active
.) Once your engine begins running,
you can trigger the sounds to begin playing whenever you enter neutral.
Option 2
If you do not have a separate bell button on your layout, you can
still activate the feature with your transformer whistle button. To activate
the feature turn on the transformer throttle and get your engine into the
neutral position (not RESET). Once in neutral, set the transformer throttle
at 8 volts or less and press and hold the whistle button for at least three
seconds. You will hear the bell chiming turn on and if you listen carefully
you should hear an air release sound after three seconds have passed at
which time you can release the whistle button. (
Note:
because the air
release sound is hard to hear, we recommend that you count out a full three
seconds before releasing the whistle button.
