Caution!
damage to the volume control will result.
• Listen for incidental locomotive sounds during the operation of the RailSounds sound
system. They're automatic and, of course, authentic.
• The nine-volt alkaline battery you installed ensures continuous sounds, even during short
track-power interruptions. The battery must be installed for the shutdown sequence.
• Longer track-power interruptions (including locomotive derailments) cause the
RailSounds sound system to shut down after about seven seconds.
• For even more authentic RailSounds sound system effects, operate your locomotive in the
TrainMaster Command Control environment. See pages 16-21 for details.
• If you adjust the volume using your CAB-1 Remote Controller in the TrainMaster
Command Control environment, the volume settings will be saved and restored after
shutdown. To reset the volume, press AUX1, 0 to reset the locomotive.
