SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The HEARING HELPER™Tour Guide System is a portable, high-performance, wireless system

composed of the PFM T32 or T31 Transmitter and PPA R35 Receivers and designed for use in

guided tour applications. The system allows one-way transmission of a tour guide’s voice to group

members using an FM radio signal. Using the system helps group members overcome background

noise and distance from the person speaking.

The HEARING HELPER™System can be used for large or small tour groups and in noisy or quiet

environments.

Your HEARING HELPER™Tour Guide System has two principal parts: the transmitter and the

receiver. Much like a miniature radio station, the transmitter and microphone pick up the sounds you

want to hear and broadcast them over an FM radio signal. The receivers and headphones are used to

pick up the broadcast up to 100 meters away.

To avoid difficulties, please read through these instructions as you begin to use the system. Then save

them for questions that arise as you continue to use your system.

If you have problems with the HEARING HELPER™Tour Guide System, don’t hesitate to call

Williams Sound at 1-800-843-3544.

Tour Guide Uses the Body Pack

Transmitter With Microphone

FM Radio Signal

Listeners use Personal Receivers with

Headphones, Earphones, Or Neckloop

The tour guide wears the body-pack transmitter and headset microphone. The guide’s

voice is broadcast as an FM radio signal over a distance of up to 100 meters. Listeners use

the pocket receiver and headphone to hear the speaker’s voice directly, with reduced

background noise. A neckloop telecoil coupler allows the system to be used with telecoil

(T-Switch) equipped hearing aids, at somewhat reduced range.

THE PFM T32 OR T31 TRANSMITTER

The PFM Transmitter is a battery-powered body-pack model used with a microphone to pick up the

tour guide's voice. The transmitter produces an FM radio signal to broadcast the tour guide's voice to

the receiver units. A simple slide switch on top of the transmitter turns the unit on or off. The PPA

Transmitter operates on two AA non-rechargeable alkaline batteries (BAT 001), or two AA

rechargeable NiMH batteries (BAT 026).

MICROPHONES

A noise-cancelling, headband microphone (MIC 086) is the standard microphone. The noise-

cancelling microphone helps to reduce background sounds in noisy environments. The microphone

plugs into the “MIC” jack on top of the Transmitter. The microphone should be positioned directly

in front of the tour guide's mouth to achieve an optimal signal to noise ratio and so that head

movement does not affect the loudness of the signal. The microphone cord acts as the transmitting

antenna.

Optional Microphones

An optional Hearing Protector Headset Microphone (MIC 036) is also available for extremely high

noise environments. It features ear muffs that completely cover both ears and provides 24 dB noise

isolation for hearing protection.

An optional Lapel Clip Microphone can be used in quieter environments like museums or galleries.

The MIC 090 has an omnidirectional pick-up pattern. The MIC 056 has a directional (or cardioid)

pick-up pattern, which will reduce background noise somewhat.

A directional hand-held microphone (MIC 027) is also available for tour guides who prefer to hold

the microphone.

THE PPA R35 RECEIVER

The PPA R35 Receiver is a battery-powered body-pack receiver used with a headphone to hear the

signal produced by the transmitter. The receiver is pre-tuned to the transmitter and has a user-

adjustable volume on/off control, LED power and low battery indicator. The headphone plugs into

the “EAR” jack on top of the Receiver. The PPA R35 Receiver operates on two AA non-

rechargeable alkaline batteries (BAT 001), or two AA rechargeable NiMH batteries (BAT 026).

OPTIONAL HEADPHONES AND EARPHONES

The optional HED 021 Lightweight Headphone is the standard headset for the Tour Guide System. It

offers excellent sound quality and wearing comfort. The foam earpads may be removed and washed in a

mild detergent, rinsed thoroughly, and air dried.

The headphone plugs into the “EAR” jack on top of the Receiver. The headphones are wired with a

mono plug. If a stereo headphone is substituted, it will only work on one side of the headphone.

The HED 008 is a heavy-duty, hearing-protector headset. The HED 008 earmuffs completely cover

the ears and provide 24 dB noise isolation for hearing protection in high noise environments.

The EAR 022 Surround Earphone offers excellent sound quality in a unique style that hangs on the

ear. It is easy to keep clean since the earphone does not enter the ear. It is not recommended for high

noise environments.

The EAR 013 and EAR 014 are single and dual Mini Earphones. The earbud-style features a foam

covering that fits in the outer ear. The foam pads can be removed for cleaning or replacement.

Replacement pads (EAR 015-10) are available.

The stylish HED 026 rear-wear headphone offers excellent sound quality; it rests comfortably over

the ears and wraps around the back of the head for a less obtrusive, relaxed fit.

For order information, contact Williams Sound at 1-800-843-3544.
