Lock into a Directional State:
You can lock your engine into a directional state (forward, neutral, or reverse) to
prevent it from changing directions. To do this, put the engine into the direction
you want or into neutral, to lock it into neutral, run it at a very slow speed (< 10
scale mph), and quickly but firmly press your remote’s Whistle button once
followed immediately by three presses of the Bell button. Two horn blasts will
indicate that the engine has made the change. The engine will not change
direction (including going into neutral) until you repeat the 1 whistle, 3 bells
code to return the engine to its normal state, even if the engine is kept without
power for extended periods of time.
Reset to Factory Defaults:
To override the settings you currently have assigned to the engine and reset it to
its factory defaults, while in Neutral press the Whistle button once, followed
immediately by five quick pushes of the Bell button. Two horn blasts will
indicate that the engine has made the change.
Automatic Sounds:
Certain Proto-Sound 2.0 sound effects automatically play in programmed
conventional mode conditions:
• Squealing Brakes
play any time the engine’s speed decreases rapidly.
• Cab Chatter
plays when the engine idles in neutral.
• Engine Start-up and Shut-down
sounds play when the engine is initially
powered on or is powered off for five seconds or more.
