Reset to Factory Default

To override the settings you currently have assigned to the engine and reset it to its

factory defaults, while in Neutral tap the Horn button quickly once, followed by

five quick taps of the Bell button, allowing approximately ½ second to lapse

between each quick button press. Two horn blasts will indicate that the engine has

made the change.

Automatic Sound Effects

Certain Proto-Sound 3.0 sound effects automatically play in programmed

conventional mode conditions:

•Squealing Brakes play any time the engine's speed decreases rapidly.

•Cab Chatter plays at random intervals when the engine idles in neutral.

•Engine Start-up and Shut-down sounds play when the engine is initially

powered on or is powered off for five seconds or more.

Conventional DC Operation

Your MTH locomotive will operate on conventional DC track voltage also. However,

functions such as sounding the horn, ringing the bell and the PFA sounds cannot be

initiated in conventional DC. Only the diesel engine sounds, smoke, squealing brakes

and idle sounds will function.

Operation of your MTH Proto-Sound® 3.0 engine in conventional DC is very

similar to operating a conventional AC engine. As you increase track voltage, engine

speed increases.

As the track voltage is decreased, engine speed is decreased. When track voltage

polarity is reversed using the polarity or direction switch on the power pack, the

engine will run in the opposite direction. The electronics in your MTH Proto-

Sound® 3.0 locomotive are designed to slowly change direction without a need to

change the throttle, if you so desire.

Just change the polarity switch on your DC power pack and the engine will gradually

come to a stop and then automatically begin traveling in the opposite direction. The

speed will build up to the same speed that the engine was going in the previous

direction. When power is first applied to the locomotive, the engine’s sounds will start

up when the track voltage reaches about 8 VDC. To get your locomotive moving,

after the startup sounds have finished and the locomotive is idling, slowly increase the

track voltage until the locomotive is traveling at the desired speed.
