System Overview The Personal PA™ Tour Guide System is a portable, high-performance, wireless listening system. Much like a miniature radio station, the transmitter broadcasts over an FM radio signal. The receivers are used to pick up the broadcast up to 150 feet away. The system helps large or small groups overcome background noise and distance to clearly hear the tour guide.

Safety Information Hearing Safety CAUTION! Many Williams Sound receivers are designed to amplify sounds to a high volume level which could poten potentially cause hearing damage if used improperly. To protect your hearing and the hearing of others: 1. Make sure the volume is turned down before putting on the earphone or headphone and then adjusting the volume to a comfortable level. 2. Set the volume level at the minimum setting that you need to hear. 3.

Using the T46 Transmitter Getting Started 1. Make sure there are two alkaline or rechargeable NiMH AA batteries in the transmitter. If batteries are not installed, see Battery Information on page 7. 2. Plug the microphone cord into the “Mic Jack” on top of the transmitter (see Figure 2). In order for the transmitter to function properly, the microphone must remain plugged in. The cord on the microphone is the transmitting antenna. 3.

To unmute the microphone, press the “On/Off/Mute” button once momentarily. The “On/Off/Mute” button will stop flashing red. A display will show a brief message indicating the microphone is unmuted, then return to the Main Screen. The “Mute Indicator” will be off. Setting the Basic Features Use the “Menu” button to step through the Basic Features (see Table 1 for a list of all menu controlled features). Use the left and right buttons to adjust each setting.
PAGE 6
Setting the Advanced Features Press the “Menu” button to step through the Basic Features to the “Enter Advanced Setup” screen. Press the right button to select “Yes”. Press the “Menu” button to step through the Advanced Features (see Table 1). Use the left and right buttons to adjust each setting: 1.

PAGE 7
To unlock the menu, simply press and hold the left and right buttons for 3 seconds again. The display will briefly show a message indicating that the menu has been unlocked, and then return to the Main Screen. The “Menu Locked Indicator” on the Main Screen will be off. The PPA T46 Transmitter remembers the Menu Lock setting, and on power up will default to its most recent setup. Restoring Factory Defaults Press the “Menu” button to step through the Basic Features to the “Enter Advanced Setup” screen.
PAGE 8
Setting Up the Dual Presets When the PPA T46 is in Dual Preset mode, it has 2 Basic Features menus – one for each preset (P1 and P2). When adjusting features, the menu entered is determined by which preset is selected when the “Menu” button is pressed. A “Preset Indicator” in the top left corner (see Figure 5) of each Basic Features screen shows which settings are being adjusted. Features are adjusted the same way they are in Normal Mode. The Advanced Features apply to both presets.
