! You do not have to be in Forward to use PSA. At the conclusion of the full
sequence, the train will pull away from the station in whatever direction you
were going when you activated the feature.
! You can use PSA even if you are double-heading with another engine. If the
second engine is not equipped with Proto-Sound 2.0, you must remember not
to leave the throttle at a high voltage level once you have stopped the engine to
run the PSA. Otherwise, the engine without PSA will begin vibrating on the
track as its motors strain to move the train, since they cannot be automatically
disabled during the PSA cycle (or if an original Proto-Sound engine, PSA are
triggered differently and that engine's motor-disable feature will not be active
when you run PSA in Proto-Sound 2.0).
! PSA can be triggered from Neutral. It will operate the same as if triggered
while in motion except that, at the conclusion of the PSA, the engine will
depart in the next direction of travel, as opposed to the direction it was
traveling before entering Neutral.

Proto-Coupler Operation
This locomotive is equipped with one or more coil-wound Proto-Couplers for remote
uncoupling action. Because Proto-Couplers are controlled through the Proto-Sound 2.0
microprocessor, they do not require an uncoupling track section or modification to your
layout to function. You can fire a
coupler from neutral or while in
motion. Use the code shown below
(and in the chart on p. 7) to fire the
coupler(s).
Rear Coupler:
To fire the rear coupler, quickly tap the
Bell button once followed by three
quick taps of the Horn button, allowing
approximately ½ second to lapse
between each quick button press. The
sound of the liftbar and air line
depletion will play, and the knuckle
will be released.
