that the PFA features have been turned off).  Simply turn the transformer
throttle OFF and then ON again to lock in the new setting.  To reset
ProtoSounds™ to its original factory setting of Squeaking Brakes and PFA
on, repeat the above procedure but keep pressing the whistle button in
Feature 28 until ProtoSounds™ only dings once instead of twice.

ACTIVATING REMOTE LOCK-OUT CONTROL

  ProtoSound® equipped engines feature a RESET setting that allows the
operator to remotely “lock” the engine into forward, neutral or reverse.
This is especially useful on layouts that feature “blocked” track sections.
The lockout feature comes from the factory in the OFF position, meaning it
is not active when you first take the engine out of the box.  This is done to
prevent novice operators from accidentally locking their engine into
forward, neutral or reverse and then mistakenly thinking that the engine’s
electronics have failed.  To activate the Remote Lockout Control setting, go
to RESET Feature 40 (See
the section entitled 

Using

RESET To Program
ProtoSounds®

 on page

17).  Once in Feature 40,
press the transformer
whistle button and wait for
ProtoSounds to sound a
bell ding.  Continue
pressing the whistle button
until ProtoSounds sounds two bell dings signifying that the Remote Lockout 
Control has been selected.  To lock in the setting, simply turn the throttle all 
the way off and then back on again.    To turn the Remote Lockout Control
setting back off, go back to Feature 40 and press the whistle button until
only one bell ding sounds.  To lock in the setting, simply turn the
transformer throttle off and then back on again.  Alternatively, you can go
to RESET Feature 18 to reset all ProtoSound features back to their original
factory defaults including Remote Lockout Control.
