Cab Chatter
Sometimes the Cab Chatter sounds
don't play.
Lock-out
I can't get the engine to run after I
power up the transformer. It sits still
with the engine sounds running.
The engine won't lock into forward,
neutral, or reverse.
Volume
The sounds seem distorted, especially
when the whistle or bell is activated.
Battery
The engine will not leave the initial
neutral setting.
I get no sounds when the engine shifts
between directions.
After I turn off my transformer, my
engine continues to make sounds
before quitting.
FYS/PSA
The FYS/PSA sounds occasionally
repeat themselves.
Lionel Corporation Super 381 Electric Engine
Remedy
Cab Chatter plays only in neutral at
random intervals.
Remedy
The engine is locked into the neutral
position. Follow the procedure in the
"Lock into a Direction" section.
Engine speed must be below 10 scale
mph (approx. 10 volts or less in
conventional mode).
Remedy
Proto-Sound 2.0 volume is set too
high. Turn the volume control knob on
the bottom of the chassis counter-
clockwise to reduce the volume.
Remedy
Check to be sure the battery is
installed and fully charged. See the
"Self-Charging Battery Back-Up"
section.
The battery may be dead or need to be
charged. See the "Self-Charging
Battery Back-Up" section.
Proto-Sound 2.0 is designed to
continue to sound for a few seconds
after power to the track has been shut
off.
Remedy
Proto-Sound 2.0 has a built-in
random number generator that
randomly selects each sound clip to
play. Because there are a limited
number of sound clips available in
each FYS/PSA sequence, it is probable
that some of these sound clips will be
repeated from time to time.
