Entering Programming:
Use this simple sequence to enter Programming using the direction switch.
1. Apply power and turn up the throttle to hear the sound system come on.
2. Within five seconds of powering up, turn on the Bell with a Quick Flip-and-Back operation of the direction switch.
3. Within three seconds of the Bell turning on, turn off the bell with a second Quick Flip-and Back operation.
4. Within three seconds, turn the Bell back on again with a third Quick flip-and-back operation.
NOTE: If you delay too long after power has been first applied, the opportunity to enter Programming will "time
out," and you will need to start again by shutting off, and reapplying track power.
Once you perform the three bell operations after applying power, the bell will shut off automatically, you will hear "Enter
Programming," and the headlight and reverse light will flash alternately off and on.
Scrolling through the Program Options:
After entering Programming, you will hear an announcement of the first Program Option, "Option 1 - System Volume".
To access other Program Options, simply flip the direction switch to the opposite position and leave it there. Listen as
each option number is announced in order.
When you hear the Option Number you want, flip the direction switch back and leave it there. After you stop at an option
you will hear the option number and name announced. When you are scrolling through and stopping at Program
Options, you are not making any changes. To make changes you must actually enter the Program Option.
Note: If you accidentally go to a higher option number other than the one you wanted, simply turn the power off, re-
enter Programming and start again.
Once you reach the last Program Option, i the decoder will continue to announce the last option number.
Entering a Program Option and Making Changes:
After the verbal announcement of a Program Option, you can enter that option by performing a Slow or Quick Flip-and-
Back operation of the direction switch. Upon entering a Program Option, you will hear the present
setting for that option. For unused Program Options, you will hear "Reserved". For any volume option, you will hear
"Volume equals X" (where "X" is its present volume setting). After a moment, you will hear the sound at its present
volume.
Note: It is easy to distinguish between doing a Quick and Slow operation. When you flip the direction switch to do a
Slow operation, wait until you hear a low level "hiss" sound from the locomotive; then immediately flip the direction
switch back. To do a Quick operation, make sure you flip the direction switch back before you hear the "hiss" sound.
Note: Entering a Program Option does not change the settings for that option; it only provides information about its
present value. After entering the Program Option, additional Slow or Quick flip-and-back operations will program new
settings as described in the above table. For all level adjustments, a Quick operation will decrease one level, while a
Slow operation will increase one level.
Note: Since "System Volume" is the first Program Option, you can use Quick or Slow operations
immediately after
entering Programming to change the System Volume.
Moving on to Other Program Options or Exiting Programming:
Flip the direction switch at anytime to the opposite position, and leave it there. The Quantum System will first return to
and announce the present Program Option, and then automatically advance on to higher options.Exit Programming
anytime you want by turning the power off, and then back on again.
Example 1: Setting Throttle Mode (Program Option # 10):
