Introduction:
The Williams Personal FM can be thought of as a wireless microphone for your ears. It has two
principal parts, the Transmitter and the Receiver. Using the Personal FM is like operating your own
miniature radio station. The microphone picks up the sounds you want to hear and the transmitter
broadcasts them over an FM radio signal. The receiver and earphone are used to pick up the
oadcast up to 100 feet away.

the Transmitter and Receiver are charging. It is okay to leave the Transmitter or Receiver charging for
extended periods of time. A fully charged battery will provide about 10 hours of continuous use in
the Transmitter and about 15 hours of use in the Receiver. The batteries do not have to be removed
for charging.

(2) Transmitter Operation:
Plug the microphone cord into the "Mic" jack on top of the Transmitter. Place the Transmitter in the
belt clip case provided. Turn the power switch on top of the Transmitter to "On." Clip the
microphone onto a collar, lapel, or tie. It should be as close to the speaker's mouth as is practical.
The transmitter can be placed in a pants pocket, or clipped onto a belt or waistband. Make sure
the Transmitter is turned OFF
when not in use. Plan on charging the Transmitter every night to insure a
full charge the following day.
NOTE: The microphone cord is the transmitting antenna. Do not bunch up the cord, wrap it around the
transmitter, or place the transmitter in a shirt pocket. The cord should hang as straight as possible.
(3) Receiver Operation:
Model R16-72 (System 200):
Receiver model R16-72 has two volume control knobs, a microphone input jack, and an earphone
output jack. Insert the small Plug Mount Microphone (MIC 014) into the "Mic" jack on top of the
Receiver. Next, plug the earphone or headphone into the "Ear" jack on top of the Receiver. Place
the Receiver in the belt clip case provided. Turn the power on by rotating the taller "FM" volume
control on top of the Receiver. Place the earphone in your ear. The Receiver can be placed in a
pants pocket, or clipped onto a belt, harness, or waistband. Make sure the Receiver is turned OFF
when not in use. Plan on charging the Receiver every night to insure a full charge the following day.
NOTE: The earphone cord is the receiving antenna. Do not bunch up the cord, wrap it around the receiver, or
place the receiver in a shirt pocket. The cord should hang as straight as possible.
Adjusting the volume controls:
Adjust the receiver volume control to a comfortable listening level. You should be able to hear
someone speaking into the Transmitter microphone. Now adjust the shorter "Mic" volume control until
you can hear sounds picked up by the envir
onmental microphone on top of the receiver
. Adjust the
two volume controls for a comfortable mix of FM and environmental sounds.
You will normally want to have the FM signal louder than the environmental Mic signal to avoid
picking up extra background noise. If no environmental sounds are desired, turn the "Mic" control
fully off. If you want to hear nearby conversation or your own voice, tur
n the "Mic" control up.
Model R7-72 (System 100):
Receiver Model R7-72 has a single, wheel-type volume control and an earphone output jack. Plug
the earphone or headphone into the "Ear" jack on top of the Receiver
belt clip case provided. Turn the power on by rotating the volume control on top of the Receiver.
Place the earphone in your ear. The Receiver can be placed in a pants pocket, or clipped onto a
belt, har

Using the Personal FM with a Hearing Aid:
If you have a hearing aid equipped with a Telecoil (T-Switch), you can use a Neckloop (NKL 003 children's size or NKL 001 - adult's size) to magnetically couple the signal from the PFM Receiver into
your hearing aid. The Neckloop plugs into the earphone jack of the receiver. Turn the switch to the
"T" position on your hearing aid and adjust the volume control on the receiver to a comfortable level.
If you have two hearing aids with telecoils, the signal will couple into both hearing aids.

irect Audio Input Hearing Aids:
If your hearing aid has a direct audio input boot, you can obtain a cord from your hearing aid
manufacturer to plug directly into the PFM receiver.
Applications:
The Personal FM is designed to provide hearing assistance when background noise or distance from
the sound source make listening difficult. The microphone and transmitter are placed close to the
desired sound source to help minimize background noise and to effectively eliminate the distance
between the listener and the sound source.
Low-Amplification Fittings:
Classroom applications:
The PFM System can be used with headphones or earphones for Central Auditory Processing
Disorders, Learning Disabilities, or Attention Deficit Disorders. The PFM System is used primarily to boost
speech sounds above other background noises, making it easier for the listener to focus on what is
being said. The optional Rugged Headphone (HED 012 - children's size and HED 014 - adult's size) are
recommended for this application. The EAR 013 Single Mini Earphone or EAR 014 Dual Mini Earphone
can also be used.
Mild to Moderate Hearing Loss:
Classroom applications, TV listening, riding in a car, one-on-one conversations:
The PFM System can be used with the Single or Dual Mini Earphone (EAR 013 or EAR 014) for
moderate amplification fittings. The Button Receiver Earphone (EAR 012 WC) is also available for use
with a snap-on custom earmold.
The PFM System is also suitable for temporary mild hearing loss due to otitis media. The Rugged
Headphones or Surround Earphone (EAR 022) are recommended since they do not enter the ear
canal.
Severe to Profound Hearing Loss:
Classroom applications, TV listening, riding in a car, one-on-one conversations:
For severe to profound hearing loss, the PERSONAL FM System should be used in conjunction with a
hearing aid. A Neckloop can be used with hearing aids that have a telecoil. An adaptor cord can
be used with hearings that have direct audio input.
In Case of Difficulty:
If the system does not appear to be functioning:
1. Make sure the batteries are fully charged in the Transmitter and Receiver.
