Again, after allowing about 30 seconds for that sequence to run, press the Direction
button one more time to trigger the fourth and final FYS sequence. The FYS will
continue, and within a few seconds, the engine will start and move out on its own at
the current throttle setting, in the same direction it was traveling when you began the
sequence. Once the bell turns off, the operator regains control of the transformer's
Bell and Whistle buttons and can ring the bell or blow the whistle as usual.
Tips on Using FYS
! You can terminate FYS at any time by turning off power to the track for 15
seconds.
! You do not have to be in Forward to use FYS. 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 FYS 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 FYS. Otherwise, the engine without FYS will begin vibrating on the
track as its motors strain to move the train, since they cannot be automatically
disabled during the FYS cycle (or if an original Proto-Sound engine, FYS are
triggered differently and that engine's motor-disable feature will not be active
when you run FYS in Proto-Sound 2.0).
! FYS can be triggered from Neutral. It will operate the same as if triggered
while in motion except that, at the conclusion of the FYS, 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 page 8) 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 Whistle 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.
