Introduction:
The FM Tour Guide System is a portable, high-performance, wireless system composed of the PPA T16 Transmitter and PPA R7 Receivers and designed for use in hearing assistance applications. The system allows one-way transmission of a tour guide’s voice to hearing impaired group members by using an FM radio signal. Using the system helps to overcome background noise and distance from the person speaking. The Tour Guide System can be used for large or small tour groups, in noisy or quiet environments. Under FCC regulations, the Williams Sound FM Tour Guide System may only be used for hearing assistance.

The T16 Transmitter:
The T16 Transmitter is a battery-powered belt pack that is 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 T16 operates on a 9 Volt alkaline disposable battery or a 9V NiMH rechargeable battery.
