Thank you for purchasing the Hearing Helper™ T800

transmitter from Williams Sound Corp. This wide-band FM

transmitter operates on the 863 MHz bandwidth and con-

nects directly to your facility’s sound system; alternatively,

it can used with a microphone as a stand-alone system. The

T800 is designed for use with the optional R863 FM receiver

to provide hearing assistance or language interpretation to a

listening audience.

The T800 transmitter operates much like an FM radio station.

The transmitter picks up the audio directly from the facility’s

mic or sound system which are broadcasted over an FM radio

signal. Listeners use the R863 receivers equipped with head-

sets to pickup the FM broadcast up to 400 feet away.

To avoid difculties, please read through these instructions as

you begin to use the system. Then save the manual for ques-

tions that arise as you continue to use your system. If at any

time you are having problems with this product, please contact

Williams Sound toll free for assistance: +1 952 943 2252.

of the unit. On power up, “Williams Sound T800” will appear

briey while the system initializes. The system will then dis-

play the current operating “CHANNEL” (1-16).

• St e p 4:Se l e c t t h e Fr e q u e n c y

The T800 operates on the 863-864 MHz bandwidth with six-

teen selectable preset channels. Channels 1-3 are standard and

coincide with channels 1-3 on the R863 (optional) receiver:

CH 1 = 863.250 MHz, CH 2 = 863.750 MHz, CH 3 = 864.750 MHz

Non-standard operating channels (4-16) available are:

CH 4 = 863.050 MHz, CH 5 = 863.400 MHz, CH 6 = 863.550 MHz

CH 7 = 864.000 MHz, CH 8 = 864.150 MHz, CH 9 = 864.300 MHz

CH 10 = 864.450 MHz, CH 11 = 864.600 MHz, CH 12 = 864.950 MHz

CH 13 = 863.150 MHz, CH 14 = 863.650 MHz, CH 15 = 863.900 MHz,

CH 16 = 864.850 MHz

The T800 is set at the factory to Channel 1 (863.250 MHz).

To change the channel, press and hold the “Set” button for 3

seconds (cursor will ash), then press the “+” Up or “-” Down

button until the desired channel (1-16) is displayed. No further

action is required, the selection will be saved into memory

after 3 seconds.

To view the current operating frequency (i.e. “863.250 MHz”)

on the T800, press the “MENU” button once. To change the

operating frequency, press and hold the “Set” button for 3

seconds (cursor will ash), then press the “+” Up or “-” Down

button until the desired frequency is displayed. The selection

will be saved into memory after 3 seconds.

• St e p 5:co n n e c t t h e au d i o So u r c e

On the back of the T800, two audio input jacks are available:

an RCA-type jack for line-level, unbalanced audio sources;

and a combo XLR (3-pin) and 1/4” TRS jack for connecting

unbalanced/balanced audio sources. Connect the desired audio

source to the T800 transmitter and proceed to Step 6.

• St e p 6:ad j u S t t h e a u d i o le v e l

Locate the “Gain Control” on the rear of the T800. With

the audio source playing, use a small screwdriver or tuning

wand to rotate the “Gain Control” clockwise “+” to increase

or counterclockwise “-” to decrease gain. Monitor the audio

indicator “bars” on the display as you make your adjustments.

As a general guideline:

No audio indicator bars present = Audio source is TOO LOW.

Some audio indicator bars present = Audio source is ACCEPTABLE

“Limiting” message is displayed = Audio source is TOO HIGH.

Ensure the audience is receiving the highest quality

audio: listen to the audio through the headphone

jack on the front of the T800 (FIG. 2).

transmitter will need to be on the same frequency as the trans-
