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. SOLD SEPARATELY
Activating Proto-Sound 2.0 Conventional Mode Features
Proto-Sound 2.0 features are activated by sequences of Bell and Horn 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 horn 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 FYS/PSA sufficient time to run
through each sequence.
To cue the sound system to play the FYS/PSA, quickly but firmly tap the Bell
button once followed by 2 quick taps of the Horn 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 FYS/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 Horn and Bell buttons
until the full FYS/PSA sequence is complete.
