Proto-Sound 2.0 Operating Instructions
This manual contains the operating instructions for Proto-Sound 2.0 in conventional
mode only. Instructions for accessing DCS command mode features accompany the
DCS Remote Control System equipment.
Activating Proto-Sound 2.0 Conventional Mode Features:
Proto-Sound 2.0 features are activated by sequences of Bell and Whistle button pushes
described below. Please read the full descriptions of each feature before using it. To use
these buttons to activate features rather than to blow the whistle or ring the bell, you
should tap the buttons very quickly with a ½-second pause between button presses. You
may need to practice your timing to make this work smoothly.

Passenger station announcements (PSA):
Your engine is equipped with a sound package of passenger station announcements that
you can play when you pull into a station. Each sequence described below will play as
long as it is left on, randomly generating sounds, but be sure to allow approximately
30 seconds between the button pushes described below to allow the PSA sufficient
time to run through each sequence.
To cue the sound system to play the PSA, quickly but firmly tap the Bell button once
!
followed by 2 quick taps of the Whistle button while the engine is moving. Tap the
buttons quickly but allow approximately ½ second between each press.
Press the Direction button once to stop the engine. This will trigger the first
!
sequence of PSA. The reverse unit is temporarily disabled so that the train will not
move as you use the Direction button to trigger the sounds, and Proto-Sound 2.0 has
disabled operator control over the Whistle and Bell buttons until the full PSA
sequence is complete.
After waiting about 30 seconds for that sequence to run, press the Direction button
!
again to trigger the second sequence of PSA.
After about 30 seconds, press the Direction button again to trigger the third PSA
!
sequence.
