How to fix a distorted horn at low voltages on M.T.H. Toy?
If the horn on your M.T.H. Toy sounds distorted at low voltages, it could be that your battery is undercharged or dead. Try recharging the battery as explained in the battery sections.
Why does my M.T.H. Toy have a repeating horn blast after shutdown?
A repeating horn blast after shutting down your M.T.H. Toy indicates that the battery is insufficiently charged or dead. Follow the recharging instructions found in the section entitled "Self Recharging Battery Backup System".
What to do if the horn doesn’t blow on my M.T.H. Toy?
If the horn on your M.T.H. Toy doesn't blow when you press the whistle button, you may be pressing the button too quickly. Try pressing the whistle button slower, taking approximately 1 second to fully depress the button.
Why coupler won’t arm or fire open on M.T.H. Toy?
If you can't get the coupler to arm or fire open when you press the whistle button on your M.T.H. Toy, you may be pressing the whistle button too quickly. Refer to the third remedy in the horn section above.
Why does the coupler arm when I try to activate the bell on my M.T.H. Toy?
Reduce the voltage on the transformer before pressing the whistle button to activate the bell on your M.T.H. Toy. The bell will only come on at 8 volts or less.
Why cab chatter sounds don’t play on M.T.H. Toy?
The Cab Chatter sounds only play in neutral on your M.T.H. Toy, and Proto-Sounds may be programmed to turn these sounds off.
Why only one coupler functions on my M.T.H. Toy?
Only one coupler can operate at any one time on your M.T.H. Toy. Use the coupler selection switch on the bottom of the chassis to choose which coupler you want active.
Why does the bell only ring once on my M.T.H. Toy?
If the bell only rings once when you press the whistle button to activate it on your M.T.H. Toy, you are trying to ring the bell in RESET instead of neutral. Interrupt the power twice to enter Neutral, set the voltage at 8 volts or less and press the whistle button to activate the bell.
Why won’t my M.T.H. Toy engine lock out?
If the M.T.H. Toy engine won’t lock out into Forward, Neutral, or Reverse, even after the short horn blast, 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.
