The Personal PA™ Tour Guide System is a portable, high-performance, wireless listening

system. It is composed of a PPA T36 Transmitter, microphone, and optional PPA R35 or

R35-8 Receivers equipped with headphones or earphones. The system allows one-way trans-

mission 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 Personal PA™ System can be used for large or small tour groups and in noisy or quiet

environments.

Your Personal PA™ 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 head-

phones are used to pick up the broadcast up to 100 meters away.

To avoid difculties, 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 Personal PA™ Tour Guide System, don’t hesitate to call Wil-

liams Sound at 1-800-843-3544 or +1 952 943 2252.

HE A R i N G SA F E T y :

CAUTION!

The tour guide system is designed to amplify sounds to a high volume level which could

potentially cause hearing damage if used improperly.

To protect your hearing and the hearing of others:

1. Make sure the volume on the receiver is turned down before putting on the earphone or

headphone. Then adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

2. Set the volume level on the receiver at the minimum setting that you need to hear.

3. If you experience feedback with the receiver (a squealing or howling sound), reduce the

volume setting and move away from the T36 transmitter’s microphone.

4. Do not allow children or other unauthorized persons access to the receiver.

BAT T E R y SA F E T y A N d di S P O S A L :

CAUTION!

The transmitter and receiver may be supplied with alkaline batteries. Do not attempt to re-

charge alkaline batteries, which may explode, release dangerous chemicals, cause burns, or

other serious harm to the user or product.

1. Make sure there are two alkaline or rechargeable AA batteries in the transmitter. If batter-

ies are not installed, see Battery Information on page 11.

2. Plug the microphone cord into the “Mic Jack” on top of the transmitter (FIG. 2).

3. Optionally, plug in a desired audio source such as a CD or MP3 player using the “Aux-

iliary Input” jack (WCA 087 stereo auxiliary input cable included). If mic and auxiliary

sources are used together, the audio will be mixed. If only auxiliary source is desired, the

mic can be muted. Do not remove the mic from the “Mic Jack” as the cable is also the

transmitting antenna!

4. Turn the unit on: press and hold the “ON/OFF/MUTE”

button for three seconds. The “Power On” indicator

should illuminate green.

5. Select the desired operating frequency. Use the

“Channel Selector” knob to select any of the 16

available channels on 72-76 MHz. Refer to the

channel selection chart, FIG 3.

Make sure the receiver being used is operating

on the same frequency as the T36 transmitter!

NOTE: Up to eight T36’s can operate simultane-

ously on channels 1-8 (FIG. 3) when used with an

R35-8 receiver.

6. Position the headset microphone boom as close to

the speaker’s mouth as possible without actually

touching. Lapel clip microphones should be at-

tached to a collar or lapel, as close to the speaker’s

mouth as possible.

The transmitter can be placed in a pocket, or

clipped onto a belt or waistband.

7. When you pause from speaking, you may mute the microphone by pressing the

“ON/OFF/MUTE” button once momentarily. The “ON/OFF/MUTE” button will ash

red. To unmute the mic, press the “ON/OFF/MUTE” button once momentarily again.

IMPORTANT: When the T36 transmitter is not being used, remember to turn the

unit OFF by pressing and holding the “ON/OFF/MUTE” button for three seconds.

The “Power On” indicator should not be lit.

To adjust, open the battery door and locate the Auxiliary Input Level (FIG. 4). Use the plastic screw-

driver and rotate to increase “+” or decrease “-” the input level.

Note: When using an auxiliary audio source, if the “Aux Input Level” is set too high, there can be

increased audio distortion and decreased battery life.

Note: When using an auxiliary input source, the mic must be plugged in to the “Mic Jack” in

order to transmit audio!

CO M P R E S S i O N SE L E C T O R

By default, the T36 compression is set to “Off” for normal operation, or “1:1” compression.

For hearing assistance applications, the compression selector can be set to “On” for “2:1”

compression.

To change this setting, open the battery door and locate the Compression Selector (FIG. 4).

To turn on compression (2:1), slide the “Comp” switch to the position marked “2:1.” To turn

off, slide the “Comp” switch to the position marked “1:1.”

CH A N N E L LO C k

By default, the T36 channels are unlocked to allow the user to change frequencies as needed.

If desired, channels can be locked to prevent users from changing the channels.

Note: The Channel Lock only locks the electronic frequency; it does not physically lock the

channel selector knob.

To lock or unlock channels, open the battery door and locate the Channel Lock (FIG. 4). To

lock the current channel, slide the “CH Lock” switch to the position marked “ “. To unlock

the channels, slide the “CH Lock” switch to the position marked “ “.

RE C E i v E R MO d E L PPA R35

The PPA R35 is a single-channel receiver operating on the 72-76 MHz bandwidth. It features

volume on/off control, power and low battery indicator, and an earphone jack (see FIG 5).

Instructions:

BAT T E R y iN S T A L L A T i O N

Make sure there are two alkaline or rechargeable AA batteries in the receiver. If batteries are

not installed, see Battery Information on page 11.

NOTE: The ON indicator will illuminate RED to indicate low battery.

CO N N E C T i N G EA R P H O N E S A N d HE A d P H O N E S

Plug the earphone into the “Headphone/Earphone” jack on the top of the unit. Only mono-

phonic earphones and headphones will operate properly. If stereo headphones are used, sound

will be heard only in one side. Williams Sound evaluates each earphone and headphone used

with the PPA R35 receiver; we can only assure optimum performance when Williams Sound

earphones and headphones are used.

OP E R A T i N G T H E RE C E i v E R

NOTE: Check to make sure the T36 transmitter is on and transmitting audio. Also, make sure

the T36 is transmitting on the same frequency as the receiver. If the R35 receiver needs to be

re-tuned (most Williams Sound receivers are set at the factory at 75.7 MHz), see page 8 for

frequency change instructions.

Turn the receiver on by rotating the volume control knob clockwise. The receiver’s ON indi-

cator should illuminate green. Adjust the volume control for your comfort. To turn the receiv-

er off, rotate the volume control knob counter-clockwise until it clicks off. The receiver’s ON

indicator should not be lit.

Selecting a frequency for the R35 receiver requires an adjustment to the internal tuning coil

(FIG 6.). Use a plastic tuning wrench (PLT 005) to adjust the tuning coil.

Most R35 single channel Receivers are set at the factory to 75.7 MHz (when delivered with

tour guide system).

The Receiver must be tuned with a weak and somewhat noisy signal. If tuned too close to the

transmitter, with a strong signal, the most accurate tuning of the receiver is not possible.

TOCH A N G E T H E FR E q u E N C y T O AN O T H E R CH A N N E L :

Step 1: Set the transmitter to the channel desired.

Step 2: Connect an audio source to the transmitter such as a CD, MP3, player or use the mic.

Step 3: Move the receiver about 25 feet away from the transmitter to set the tuning.

Step 4: Open the battery compartment.

Step 5: Locate the Tuning Coil (see FIG. 6). Each tuning coil is a small, square, shiny metal can

with a screwdriver slot in a tuning slug in the top center. The Tuning Slug is usually black

or gray.

Step 6: With an earphone or headphone plugged into the “Headphone/Earphone” jack, turn the

volume control to a comfortable level, and listen for the transmitted signal.

Step 7: Gently put the tip of the tuning wrench into the slot in the tuning slug. Be careful not to

push hard on the slug so as not to damage the threads in the coil, and do not screw it down

more than 3 turns into the coil.

Step 8: Turn the tuning slug in a counterclockwise direction about two turns. Then, slowly turn

the tuning slug in the clockwise direction until the signal is heard. There may be two

signal points heard. The one which is received rst is a false response. Be sure to continue

tuning slightly further to the correct point, which will be much louder. Tune back and

forth to nd the center of the point of best response to the program being heard.
