LOCKOUT PROBLEMS
REMEDY
I can’t get the engine to run after I power up the
transformer. It sits still with the lights on.
The engine is locked out into the Neutral position.
Follow the unlocking proceedures in the Lockout
Section.
The engine won’t lock out into Forward, Neutral or
Reverse even after the short horn blast sounds.
You are waiting too long to turn the throttle back on
after the short horn blast sounds. The power must be
turned back on immediately after the short horn blast
sounds or the engine will go back into RESET. See
the lockout proceedure in the Lockout Section.
VOLUME PROBLEMS
REMEDY
When I try to run the engine, the motor volume is OFF
or very low.
The motor volume has been programmed at a reduced
volume or to be silent. Go to RESET Feature 6 and
adjust the volume. See the section entitled “Using
RESET to Program ProtoSounds” for more
information.
When I try to set the motor volume, it resets itself to
the original volume after I selected the new volume.
You are trying to set the volume with a poorly charged
or dead backup battery. See the section on Battery
Backup for more information.
When I try to set the Motor Volume to O Volume, I still
hear the SAS sounds.
When the motor volume is set to O, you will hear the
SAS sounds because setting the motor volume only
controls the sound of the car itself. All other sounds,
including SAS, the horn and bell will continue to play at
the volume level set by the manual volume control
knob located on the bottom of the chassis. See the
section entitled “ProtoSound Volume Adjustment” for
more information.
The sounds seem distorted, especially when the
whistle or bell is activated.
The overall ProtoSound volume has been set to high
creating the distorted sounds. Try turning the volume
control knob located on the bottom of the chassis
counter clockwise to reduce the overall volume level.
BATTERY PROBLEMS
REMEDY
I get no sounds when the engine shifts between the
direction states.
The battery may be dead or needs charging. See the
Battery Backup section for more information.
After I turn off my transformer, my engine continues to
make sounds before quitting with a ding of its bell.
ProtoSounds continues to sound for approximately 10
seconds after power to the track has been shut off.
The sounds distort at low voltages.
The battery is insufficiently charged or dead. Follow
the recharging instructions found in the section entitled
“Self Recharging Battery Backup System”.
A repeating horn blast occurs after the power has
been shut down.
ProtoSounds includes a built-in analyzation test that
checks for correct functioning. If a repeating horn
blast is heard when power is OFF, your car should be
returned to the factory for service.
