off position and then back on again to enter the forward phase. Interrupting

the power too quickly may cause the system to re-enter RESET (signaled by

two dings of the bell). Should this happen, wait longer before interrupting

the power to enter the Forward phase.

ProtoSounds® comes with several programmable functions, including

Engine Volume Adjustment, Separate Bell Button Operation (pre-

programmed at the factory), and Horn-In-Neutral Operation. Each of these

features are described in more detail later. You will notice that when in

RESET, your car will not respond to the whistle button with a horn blast or

continuous bell ringing. In fact, when in RESET and the whistle button is

depressed, only one single bell chime will be heard each time the whistle

button is pressed. If you don’t want to configure or change your car using

any of these programmable features, simply leave RESET after waiting 2.2

seconds by interrupting the power to put the car in forward. After you leave

RESET, your car will operate normally in all the direction states of forward,

neutral and reverse.

HORN OPERATION

Your RailKing ProtoSound® equipped 4-Car Subway Set features a digital

recording of a Subway Car horn. The horn sound can be activated anytime

the car is in forward or reverse by pressing the whistle button on your

transformer. The horn will continue to blow as long as the whistle button is

depressed. The horn will not function in RESET and must be configured

through a RESET option to allow the horn to work when the car is in

neutral. See page 16 for information on horn programming in the Using

RESET To Program ProtoSounds® section of this manual.

BELL OPERATION

Your RailKing ProtoSound® equipped 4-Car Subway Set features a digital

recording of an actual Subway Car bell. Unlike previous versions of

ProtoSounds®, the bell can be turned on or off with any separate bell

button, like the Lionel® Railsounds® No. 5906 Bell Button, by simply

pushing the button. If you don’t have a separate bell button, the bell can be

controlled through your transformer’s whistle button whenever the car is in

NEUTRAL. The bell will never ring continuously in RESET (Remember

NEUTRAL is the state between Forward and Reverse). Once the bell is

turned on, it will continue to ring when the car is cycled into forward or
