Master Volume
F6 – Master Volume
The operation for Master Volume in DCC has changed to the following functionality: When
you activate F6, the Master Volume will begin increasing. If you are at 0 (no volume), the
first time you turn on F6 it will take approximately 3 seconds to get to 100% volume. When
you get to your desired volume level then turn F6 off. The next time you toggle F6 on it will
drive the master Volume to 0. If you are 100% it will take approximately 3 seconds to get to
0. When you arrive your desired level turn F6 off. It works like a volume slider – The first
time you enable F6 it goes up and stops at 100%, toggle F6 off then back on and it will go
down to 0 and stop.
Couplers
Your MTH PS3.0-equipped engine comes with remotely controlled Proto-Couplers. They
can be fired using your DCC handheld.
F7 – Front Coupler
Pressing F7 twice (toggling on then off) will fire your Front Coupler
F8 – Rear Coupler
Pressing F8 twice (toggling on then off) will fire your Rear Coupler
Forward/Reverse Signal
Just like a real engine, you can announce the direction of intended movement using your
DCC handheld and F9 and F10.
F9 – Forward Signal
Pressing F9 twice (toggling on then off) will sound the Forward Signal. This is two
whistle/horn blasts
F10 – Reverse Signal
Pressing F10 twice (toggling on then off) will sound the Reverse Signal. This is three
whistle/horn blasts
Grade Crossing Signal
Again, just like a real engine, you can trigger the Grade Crossing Signal on your engine. This
is two long, one short, one long whistle/horn blast.
F11 – Grade Crossing Signal
Pressing F11 twice (toggling on then off) will sound your Crossing Signal.
Smoke (if Equipped)
F12 – Smoke On/Off
Enabling F12 will turn the smoke unit on. Disabling F12 will turn your smoke unit off.
F13 – Smoke Volume
There are three smoke volume levels in your MTH PS3.0-equipped engine –
Low/Med/High. The default for this is set to High. You can adjust the smoke output
(amount of smoke the generator puts out) by pressing the F13 button twice. This sets the
level to the next step. For example, if you are currently at the High smoke output level,
pressing F13 twice (toggling it on then off) will set the smoke volume to Low. Pressing F13
twice again will set it to Medium and so on.
