SYSTEM OVERVIEW  
The HEARING HELPERTour Guide System is a portable, high-performance, wireless system  
composed of the PFM 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 HELPERSystem can be used for large or small tour groups and in noisy or quiet  
environments.  
Your HEARING HELPERTour 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.

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 T31 TRANSMITTER  
The PFM T31 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 T31 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.

R35 RECEIVER FREQUENCY CHANGE INSTRUCTIONS  
Selecting a frequency for the R35 receiver requires an adjustment to the internal tuning  
coil. See figure below to locate the coil to be adjusted. A plastic tuning wrench (PLT 005)  
will be needed to adjust this receiver’s tuning coil.

Channel Tuning  
R-35  
Most Williams Sound single channel Receivers are set at the factory to 72.9 MHz.  
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.  
To Change the Frequency to Another Channel:  
STEP 1: Set the transmitter to the channel desired and remove the antenna.  
STEP 2: Connect an audio source to the transmitter such as a CD or cassette player or  
microphone.  
STEP 3: Move the receiver about 25 feet away from the transmitter to set the tuning.  
STEP 4: Open the battery compartment on the back of the receiver.  
11  
®
 
STEP 5:  
Locate the Tuning Coil (see figure 7). The tuning coil is a small. 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 the earphone or headphone supplied with the receiver plugged into the Ear 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 first 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 find the center of the point of best response to the program being  
heard.  
STEP 9: Mark down the date, and if a new frequency has been chosen, mark it down inside the  
receiver case for future reference.

HINTS FOR USING THE SYSTEM  
Normal operating distance between the transmitter and receiver is about 30 meters. The operating  
range will vary in different buildings and surroundings. In some locations, the signal may  
momentarily disappear. This is called a “drop-out” and is due to reflection and cancellation of the  
radio signal. Moving a few feet will restore the signal.  
Keep the transmitter and receiver units at least a meter apart. If the transmitter gets too close to a  
receiver, it can overload the receiver, causing noisy reception or blocking of the signal.  
Do not use more than one transmitter on the same channel (frequency) at the same time unless they  
are physically separated by more than 30 meters. Operating more than one transmitter on the same  
channel at the same time in the same place will result in interference.  
FIGURE 8: TOUR GUIDE GROUP SEPARATION  
Tour Group 1  
Channel A  
Tour Group 2  
Channel A  
30 Meters  
USING MULTIPLE SYSTEMS FOR MULTIPLE GROUPS:  
For multiple tour groups within the same facility, multiple Tour Guide Systems may be operated  
on the same channel at the same time by maintaining physical separation of 30 meters between  
groups. The physical separation of groups takes advantage of the FM capture effect which causes  
receivers to lock onto the closest transmitter.

the battery is difficult, and if forced, may cause both mechanical and electrical damage to  
transmitters or receivers not covered by the five year warranty. Units will not work with the battery  
incorrectly installed.  
NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES  
In normal use, two AA 1.5 V alkaline batteries (BAT 001) will last about 12 hours in the  
PFM T31 Transmitter and approximately 100 hours in the PPA R35 Receiver. If the sound becomes  
weak or distorted, replace the batteries. Do not leave dead batteries in the receivers. Battery  
corrosion is not covered by the Williams Sound five year warranty.  
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES  
The PFM T31 Transmitter and PPA R35 Receivers can use rechargeable AA batteries  
(BAT 026). On an overnight charge, these NiMH batteries are designed to operate a PFM T31  
Transmitter for approximately 10 hours, and PPA R35 Receivers for 56 hours.  
!! IMPORTANT WARNINGS !!  
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RECHARGE ZINC CARBON (“HEAVY DUTY”), ALKALINE, OR LITHIUM BATTERIES!  
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RECHARGE DISPOSABLE BATTERIES! These batteries may heat up and explode, causing  
possible injury and damage to the equipment.  
Avoid shorting the plus and minus battery terminals together with metal objects. Battery damage and burns can  
result!  
The battery installed in the receiver may be recharged in the receiver only if it is a NiMH battery,  
and only if a Williams Sound CHG 3512 Multi-Charger is used. Damage from improper charging is  
not covered by the Williams Sound five year warranty.  
Important Rechargeable Battery Information  
Rechargeable batteries are shipped in a discharged condition. They must be charged for a complete  
charge cycle before the first use (approximately 4 hours). Rechargeable batteries will need to be  
replaced after 1-2 years of use. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Do not open batteries - toxic  
chemicals inside.

USING THE OPTIONAL CHG 3512 BATTERY CHARGER TO CHARGE THE PPA R35 RECEIVER  
With power connected, the CHG 3512 Multiple Charger has the ability to read the condition of the  
receiver batteries determining whether to initiate full charge or trickle charge to maintain the  
batteries’ full potential. Each bay on the charger has a red LED indicating charging status, which  
will be on constantly during charging and will blink indicating when batteries are fully charged.  
Charging Instructions  
Before inserting the PPA R35 receivers into the charger, be sure that each receiver has NiMH  
batteries installed. Also, check to make sure the switch setting in the PPA R35 battery  
compartment indicates the “NiMH” setting.  
Step 1: Plug the TFP 035 power supply into the AC wall outlet. Plug the power connector into  
the rear of the CHG 3512 unit (See Figure 11a).  
Step 2: Insert the PPA R35 receivers into the charging slots. The receivers must be placed in the  
charger facing forward to make contact with charger contacts (See Figure 11b). A red  
LED indicator will illuminate when charging has started. The red LED will blink when  
the receiver batteries are fully charged (indicates the charger is in trickle mode). You may  
charge up to 12 receiver units per CHG 3512 charger. It will take approximately 4 hours  
to fully charge the batteries.  
Note: It is safe to leave the receivers in the charger, even after the batteries are fully  
charged. The charger will switch to trickle charge to mantain full battery potential.

IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY  
If your Tour Guide System is not working, check the following:  
1. Read through the manual and user guide carefully to verify proper setup and installation  
of your system.  
2. Make sure the batteries are fresh or completely charged and that the “plus” and “minus”  
terminals are installed correctly.  
3. If the rechargeable batteries will only work for a short period of time (less than 1 hour) even  
after they are fully charged, they must be regenerated. Leave them in the receiver or transmitter  
with the unit turned on, for 5 - 6 hours. Then turn receiver or transmitter off, place it in the  
charger, and fully charge the receiver (4 hours) and transmitter (14-16 hours). This should  
restore normal battery life. Rechargeable batteries will gradually lose their capacity over time  
and should be replaced every year.  
4. Make sure the microphone is plugged into the PFM T31 Transmitter and the headphone is  
plugged into the PPA R35 Receiver.  
5. Move the transmitter and receiver closer together. You may be out of range. When using the  
system indoors, it’s normal for the signal to momentarily disappear in certain locations. This is  
called a “drop-out.” Moving a few feet will restore the signal.  
6. Do not try to use more than one transmitter on the same channel in close proximity to each  
other. MORE THAN ONE TRANSMITTER ON THE SAME CHANNEL WILL RESULT IN  
INTERFERENCE IF THEY ARE CLOSE TOGETHER. Keep the transmitters at least 30  
meters apart or use separate channels for each system used.  
7. If you are still hearing interference on the receivers, turn the transmitter off and listen with a  
receiver. If you hear the interference with the transmitter off, you need to change to a clear  
channel. Call your Williams Sound at 1-800-328-6190 for details.
