MTH F-3 Operating Manual

The bell will never ring continuously in RESET (Remember NEUTRAL is

the state between Forward and Reverse). Once the bell is turned on, it will

continue to ring when the engine is cycled into forward or reverse until you

press the bell button or re-enter NEUTRAL and turn the bell off with the

whistle button.

In fact, because of Proto-Sound® state-of-the-art design, the

microprocessor remembers its last command. Therefore, unless you turn

the bell off before you quit running your train, the next time you run the

engine, the bell will come on. No matter whether you come back an hour

later or a year later, the bell will begin chiming once the engine enters one

of the three directional states.

To turn the bell on using the transformer’s whistle button, turn on power to

the track and cycle the engine into NEUTRAL. Turn the throttle to 8 volts

or less (any higher voltage will arm the ProtoCoupler) and press the whistle

button. The bell should begin chiming. To turn the bell off, press the

whistle button again. If you want to keep the bell on while running the

engine, simply interrupt the power with the transformer throttle or the

transformer directional switch and enter forward or reverse.

PROTO-COUPLER™ OPERATION

Your MTH F-3 Proto-Sound-equipped locomotive has two coil-wound

ProtoCouplers™ for remote uncoupling action. The couplers are mounted

on the power trucks. Because the ProtoCoupler is controlled through

ProtoSound’s microprocessor, it doesn’t require an uncoupling track section

or modification to your layout to function. The three simple steps below

are required to operate the coupler.

1. Put your engine in NEUTRAL and turn the throttle all the way up.

2. Press the transformer whistle button to “Arm" the coupler. (You

will hear a “Clank")

3. After arming the coupler, press the whistle button again to open

the coupler.

When the knuckle fires open

you will hear the buzzing of the

coil energizing and the sound of

the air lines coming apart. It

can best be described as a

CHA-CHUSHHH sound. The
