Installing Labels for the Controls and Function Keys
Reverser, Throttle, and Brake decals are applied with the left end of the label at the top of the control lever.
To remove wiper and light switch caps for labeling, insert a thin bladed screwdriver into the slot on either side of the switch and carefully pry up until the switch cap pops off.
To apply legends for the function keys, pry up carefully, but with force, on the panel cover, place the legend strips above the keys. Insert the top of the panel cover first, and snap the bottom back into place.
Printable versions of these legend strips can also be found on our website.

Connecting Sound and Vibration Features
The following steps are required to enable the RailDriver internal subwoofer. Power and audio connections are not required for operation of the RailDriver controls, but they do enhance the driving experience.
3
1.Plug the RailDriver into the line out sound port on your computer.
2.Plug the speakers (which were in the sound port) into the RailDriver pass through sound port.
3.Connect the 12 VDC Power Supply.
4.Set the Amplitude control to mid level (adjust setting when RailDriver is running with your train simulation software).
NOTE: The RailDriver Desktop contains a speaker which has been magnetically shielded to prevent color distortion on video displays. Exposing magnetic media (floppy disk, memory stick, or digital tape) to magnetic materials may cause data loss.
