RAILKING
After
Iturn
off
my
transformer,
my
engine
continues
to
make
sounds
before
quitting
with
a
ding
of
its
bell.
ProtoSounds
continues
to
sound
for
approximately
10
seconds
after
power
to
the
track
has
been
shut
off.
The
sounds
distort
at
low
voltages.
The
battery
is
insufficiently
charged
or
dead.
Follow
the
recharging
instructions
found
in
the
section
entitled
“Self
Recharging
Battery
Backup
System”.
A
repeating
whistle
blast
occurs
after
the
power
has
been
shut
down.
The
battery
is
insufficiently
charged
or
dead.
Follow
the
recharging
instructions
found
in
the

RESET
PROBLEMS
REMEDY
When
Ifirst
turn
the
power
on,
the
engine
will
not
begin
to
run.
Ihave
to
turn
the
throttle
off
and
then
on
again
to
get
the
engine
to
operate.
This
is
normal
behavior.
When
power
to
the
track
is
first
turned
on,
ProtoSounds
enters
a
“RESET”
phase
at
which
time
the
engine
undergoes
a
system
check.
Power
must
be
interrupted
to
get
the
engine
into
the
Forward
Phase.
See
the
section
entitled
“DCRU
Reverse
Unit
Operation”
for
more
information.
Whenever
Iinterrupt
the
power
from
RESET
to
enter
Forward,
the
engine
goes
back
into
RESET
instead
of
Forward.
Iknow
this
occurs
because
the
bell
dings
twice.
Whenever
ProtoSounds
enters
RESET
after
power
has
been
off
for
more
than
15
seconds,
the
microprocessor
initiates
a
system
check
to
determine
that
everything
is
in
working
order.
This
system
check
requires
2.2
seconds
to
complete
during
which
time
the
engine
will
play
the
steam
startup
sounds.
We
recommend
that
you
don’t
interrupt
the
power
in
RESET
until
the
steam
startup
sounds
have
completed.
This
will
guarantee
that
the
system
check
will
have
been
completed
since
the
startup
sounds
take
longer
than
2.2
seconds
to
play.
If
the
problem
persists,
we
recommend
that
you
operate
the
throttle
with
a
slower
movement
as
you
interrupt
the
power
in
RESET
and
enter
the
Forwaard
Phase
BRAKE
SOUND
PROBLEMS
REMEDY
When
the
transformer
is
throttled
down,
the
sounds
won’t
play.
The
brake
features
has
not
been
activated.
See
the
section
on
activating
the
brake
feature
for
more
information.The
throttle
voltage
setting
on
the
transformer
is
either
not
starting
high
enough
or
ending
low
enough
to
trigger
the
brakes
sounds.
Try
increasing
the
throttle
setting
to
14
volts
or
higher
before
throttling
down
to
8
volts
or
less.
The
brake
sounds
continue
to
play
even
after
the
engine
stops.
The
brake
feature
sound
record
lasts
for
three
seconds.
With
practice
you
can
control
how
quickly
you
should
stop
the
engine
to
keep
it
in
sequence
with
the
sound
of
the
brake’s
squeaking.
The
brake
feature
was
activated
in
neutral
after
the
engine
was
running
in
forward,
but
the
brake
sounds
would
not
play
when
triggered
after
the
engine
went
back
into
forward
or
reverse.
The
brake
feature
will
only
remain
enabled
if
it
is
triggered
in
the
first
direction
state
you
enter
after
activating
the
feature
in
neutral.
You
cannot
interrupt
the
power
twice
to
enter
another
direction
state
and
still
have
the
brake
feature
active.
Therefore,
in
order
to
make
the
brake
sound
feature
operate
in
forward,
you
must
first
activate
the
feature
in
the
neutral
position
that
occurs
after
the
engine
was
in
the
reverse
state.
After
triggering
the
brake
sound
and
stopping
the
engine
in
neutral,
the
engine
begins
making
passenger
station
sound
effects.
After
you
trigger
the
brake
sounds,
you
cannot
stop
the
engine
in
neutral
and
leave
the
track
power
on
without
activating
the
passenger
station
sounds.
If
you
don’t
want
to
hear
the
passenger
station
sounds
after
entering
neutral,
turn
the
power
off
for
three
seconds
to
disable
the
passenger
station
sound
effects.
