How to control ATS(Automatic Train Stop) Device?

You will have red signals and ATS device will work many times

 paticularly in the senario of 710G and 826G. Because they are diagrams

 of rush hour, preceding train is running right in front of your train.

When you get in front of red signal, the ATS alarm will ring loudly

(alarm sounds like alarm clock or old style telephone ringing).

 Then please set the brake position to "重なり"* or "常用"*

* : "常用" is to strengthen the pressure, "重なり" is to keep the same strength of pressure

and press alarm confirmation button(space key) to stop the alarm(*3).

After alarm confirmation, chime sound("Ding Dong Ding Dong…"sound) will continue.

After stopping or checking that the red signal is changed to other color,

 please press insert key to stop the chime.

(*3) Without alarm confirmation within 5 seconds, emargency brake

 will automatically be applied. Then you must set brake

 to "非常"(emergency) position and press home key to release ATS.
