Passenger Station Announcements (PSA)
Your engine is equipped with a sound package of passenger station 
announcements that you can play when you pull into a station. Each sequence 
described below will play as long as it is left on, randomly generating sounds, but 
be sure to allow approximately 30 seconds between the button pushes described 
below to allow the PSA sufficient time to run through each sequence.
• To cue the sound system to play the PSA, quickly but firmly tap the Bell 
button once followed by 2 quick taps of the Horn button while the 
engine is moving. Tap the buttons quickly but allow approximately ½ 
second between each press. 
• Press the Direction button once to stop the engine. This will trigger the 
first sequence of  PSA. The reverse unit is temporarily disabled so that the 
train will not move as you use the Direction button to trigger the sounds, 
and Proto-Sound 2.0 has disabled operator control over the Horn and 
Bell buttons until the full PSA sequence is complete.
• After waiting about 30 seconds for that sequence to run, press the 
Direction button again to trigger the second sequence of  PSA.  •After 
about 30 seconds, press the Direction button again to trigger the third 
PSA sequence. 
• Again, after allowing about 30 seconds for that sequence to run, press 
the Direction button one more time to trigger the fourth and final PSA 
sequence. The PSA 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 
Horn buttons and can ring the bell or blow the horn as usual.
