RailKing F-3 AA Set Operating Manual
USING RESET TO PROGRAM PROTO-SOUND®
Proto-Sound® is equipped with several programmable features which are
accessed in the RESET state by moving the transformer throttle up and
down between full voltage and low voltage (8 volts) without shutting the
transformer off completely. Each time this is done you advance, one
feature at a time, through the available options. An air-release sound is
heard each tim e the throttle is advanced and returned. In addition, there are
special sounds to tell you what RESET position you are in.
For example, if you want
to select Feature 2, put the
engine in RESET, and
move the throttle up and
down from full throttle to
low two times. After the
second advance, you will
hear two “clinks"
indicating that the com puter is now in Feature 2. Advance the throttle again
and you will hear three “clinks" for Feature 3. Advance it two more times
and you will hear a “clank" indicating that you are now in Feature 5.
Advance the throttle two more times and you will hear a “clank" and two
“clinks" indicating Feature 7. ((5 throttle advancements = 1 clank) + (2
throttle advancements = 2 clinks)). “Clank” + “Clink" + “Clink" = Feature
7. You can advance the throttle as quickly as you like and the computer
will still remember the number of times the throttle is advanced by playing
back the number of “Clinks" and “Clanks" to confirm the feature you’ve
selected.
