of service the real-life engine used in daily operation.
There are five sound sequences or segments in the PFA feature. Each segment is
advanced by you, the operator. You hit the Direction button on the DCC controller to
let the engine know you want it to advance. In most PFA sequences there is a minimum
wait time of about 10 seconds before it will advance. So, here is how a typical PFA
sequence operates:
1.
Press the F4 button twice (toggle F4 on then off) to start the PFA sequence on
the engine. You'll hear “Now arriving…”
2.
Press the F4 button twice (toggle F4 on then off) again to stop the engine at
the station. It is recommended to do it this way rather than bring the engine to a stop
with the throttle since PFA allows automatic departure (movement) of the engine after
the last F4 toggle. You'll hear the engine sounds switch from the cab to the station with
all the ambient station sounds you'd hear in the real thing
3.
Press the F4 button twice (toggle F4 on then off) again to advance the
sequence. You'll hear “Now boarding…”
4.
Press the F4 button twice (toggle F4 on then off) again to advance the
sequence. You'll hear “Now departing…”
5.
Press the F4 button twice (toggle F4 on then off) the last time to advance the
sequence. You'll hear “All aboard…” the engine sounds will switch over to the cab again
and the engine will pull away at the same speed it entered the station. For a few seconds
the bell will ring as it's departing the station
Note – In order to maximize the realism, we recommend that you reduce the engine's
speed to a slow pace just prior to hitting the F4 button the first time (to activate PFA)
Lights
F0 – Headlight/Taillight. This toggles your headlight/taillight on and off.
F5 – Lights. This toggles your firebox and cab interior light on and off.
Master Volume
F6 – Master Volume. There are 10 volume levels. Pressing F6 twice (toggling on then
off) raises the Master Volume one level. The Master Volume loops. That is, if you go
past the 10th level it will loop back around to the 1st or lowest volume level.
Couplers
Your MTH PS3.0-equipped engine comes with remotely controlled Proto-Couplers.
