Installing The Battery - Lionel Big Boy Owner's Manual

LEGACY RailSounds sound system operations

Installing the battery

A
lthough the LEGACY RailSounds sound system is powered through the track, we
recommend that you install a nine-volt alkaline battery in the tender to prevent the
sound system from shutting down during track power interruptions (for example, at a switch
or a dirty section of track). Follow these steps and refer to Figure 4 as you install the battery.
Note! If the RailSounds sound system turns off during interruptions in track power, you
may need to replace the battery.
1. Remove the body screws from the underside of the tender. Refer to Figure 4 for the location
of the screws.
2. Lift the body off the frame. Be careful to avoid pulling on the wires that connect the body
to the frame.
3. Remove the protective cover from the battery harness.
4. Snap the battery harness onto the nine-volt alkaline battery's terminals.
5. Slide the battery into the battery holder.
6. Replace the body on the frame and secure it with the body mounting screws. Be careful to
avoid pinching wires between the body and the frame.
