Box Contents

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

4

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.
