The on/low battery indicator (Figure 5) is used to indicate: power, low
batteries or sleep mode. Refer to flash codes in Table 3.
Table 3: PPA R37-8 LED Flash Codes
LIGHT CODE | INDICATES | REMEDY |
---|---|---|
On-Off-On-Off (continuous) | Low Batteries | Replace or recharge batteries |
Fade-on, Fade-off (continuous)* | No transmitter on current channel* | After 6 |
min, Sleep/power save mode starts (extends battery life)
On Steady| Unit is operating normally| n/a
The R37-8 returns to normal operation automatically when a transmitter is re-established on the same channel.
The stereo headphone jack accepts either stereo or mono headphones or
earphones.
The adjustable squelch can help reduce user fatigue by turning off the audio
when the signal becomes weak.
If the operator is annoyed or fatigued by noise, turn the squelch up. This
will reduce the effective range of the receiver as a trade-off to listener
comfort. Similarly if the operator needs more range and can tolerate the
noise, turn the squelch down*.
To adjust the squelch: using a small screwdriver, turn the knob to the right
for more squelch; left for less squelch.
*As the radio signal decreases, the noise present at the headphones increases. The squelch circuit senses the signal level and turns off the audio as the noise increases. More squelch means this trigger point occurs earlier; less squelch means it occurs later (or not at all, with no squelch). Apparent range is also affected. More squelch reduces the apparent range; less squelch increases the apparent range.
Receiver Model PPA R38 (optional) Instructions
The PPA R38 is a 17-channel receiver, operating on 72-76 MHz bandwidth.
- Open the battery compartment. Slide the battery selection switch to the correct position for the type of batteries that will be used. Use Alkaline for non-rechargeable batteries. Use NiMH for rechargeable NiMH batteries only.
IMPORTANT: If the battery switch is not in the correct position, damage may be caused to the unit.

These telecoil couplers are worn behind the ear, right next to telecoil-
equipped hearing aids.
Direct Audio Input (DAI) Cord
Direct Audio Input cords can be used with compatible hearing aids as well as
with Cochlear Implant Processors.
Receiver Management Suggestions
Different types of facilities will use different approaches for receiver management and earphone sanitation.
Below are some options that customers have used successfully.
- Regular users purchase their own receiver and take care of their own batteries and earphone.
- Some facilities label the receiver and earphone with the names of regular users so each person uses the same receiver and earphone.
- Ushers issue receivers to people who request them. Earphones are sanitized after use. Foam ear cushions can be replaced or washed with a mild detergent, rinsed thoroughly and air-dried. The EAR 022 Surround Earphone can be sanitized with an alcohol pad.
- The receivers can be stored in a multiple compartment storage case with a credit card or driver’s license left as collateral for the receiver.
- Regular users purchase their own earphone or headphone and bring them to use with receivers at the facility.
Earpad Cleaning for Earphones and Headphones
Do not immerse the earphone in water or other cleaning agent.
Foam pads may be removed and washed with a mild laundry soap solution, rinsed
thoroughly, and air dried.
You may purchase new foam pads. Call Customer Service for ordering information: 1-800-843-3544

Troubleshooting Guide
Read through the manual and user guide carefully to verify proper setup and installation of your system.
Transmitter frequency display (LED) not lit.
- Make sure the wall transformer is plugged into the transmitter.
- Make sure the electrical outlet is on.
No sound through receivers.
-
If some of the receivers work but others don’t, check for bad batteries or earphones on the receivers that aren’t working.
-
Check to see that the receiver frequency matches the transmitter frequency. On the transmitter, the frequency is illuminated on the
LED panel on the front of the unit. On the receiver, there may be a sticker on the inside of the battery door of the receiver. If these frequencies do not match, adjust them as needed. -
If none of the receivers work, check to see if the power is connected to the transmitter and the frequency display on the front of the transmitter is illuminated.
-
Check to see if the transmitter is connected properly to the sound system.
-
On the front panel of the T27 transmitter, turn the audio input level control clockwise using a screwdriver to increase the audio level. Make sure that the audio light is flashing occasionally but not continuously.
-
If you are not using an input signal from a sound system, make sure the Williams AV microphone is plugged into the Mic jack on the front of the T27 transmitter.
-
Make sure the antenna is installed and connected properly.
Insufficient range, good reception near transmitter, poor at a distance
- Check to see if the antenna was installed correctly. If not, correct or replace the antenna. The signal should be clearly audible at least 100 ft. within the line-of-site to the transmitter antenna.
- Check to make sure no other transmitters (or other devices) are transmitting on the same frequency or channel.
Sound through receivers is loud, but distorted. Noise (room noise or electronic noise) seems to grow after talking stops. Audio Indicator Light is continuously on.
- On the front of the T27 transmitter, use a screwdriver to turn the audio level control counter-clockwise. This will decrease the audio level. The audio indicator light should flash occasionally, but not be lit continuously.
Sound through the receivers is weak and noisy.
- On the T27 front panel, use a screwdriver to turn the audio level control clockwise. This will increase the input signal strength. The audio indicator light should flash occasionally.
- Increase the input signal level from the sound system.
Buzzing or humming noise in sound system.
- There is nothing wrong with the T27 Transmitter. One or more pieces of equipment in the sound system are being disturbed by RF (Radio Frequency) signals produced by the T27. The most likely suspects are the amplifier, mixer, or the audio source. The RF energy gets into the other equipment primarily through the power cord, speaker wires, or unshielded inputs, all of which can act as antennas. Try the following steps:
- Move the transmitter away from the other sound equipment.
- Make sensitive equipment more immune to Radio Frequency (RF) or Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). The manufacturers of your audio equipment may offer guidance for this purpose. Unless you have the necessary technical skills, this is best left to a qualified electronics repair technician.
- Williams AV offers a document giving suggestions for improving RF immunity in existing audio equipment—Technical Bulletin: Remedies For Buzz or Hum in Sound System or PPA. This document is available on our website.
