Using the built-in T-coil with a Loop System
The Pocketalker can be used with loop systems. When the T-coil
switch on the Pocketalker is enabled, the Pocketalker disables
the microphone input, picks up the loop signal, and sends the
audio through the headphone jack.
To use this feature:
Follow the “Getting Started” instructions and instead of step 8,
ip the T-coil switch to the “T-coil” position (up towards the T-coil
symbol). The T-coil “On” LED indicator above the switch will light up.

Note: For best performance when using the T-coil feature, the
Pocketalker must be in a vertical orientation. This ensures the
best magnetic coupling to the loop system. When the T-coil
switch on the Pocketalker is enabled, the Pocketalker disables the
microphone input.
Recharging NiMH Batteries
BATTERY RECHARGING KITS MODEL BAT KT8:
SAFETY WARNINGS
1. To prevent injury, never charge batteries when the Pocketalker 2.0 is in

Listening during conversations with others
The Pocketalker picks up sounds and boosts them according to the
volume you’ve set. For best results, place or hold the Pocketalker’s
microphone as close as possible to the person who is speaking.
Seated
Many users set the Pocketalker on a table if they’re in a restaurant
or small group situation. Aim the microphone in the direction of the
person speaking.
Standing Or Walking
Many users use the Pocketalker “Clip” and attach it to their pocket, pants
or skirt. The lanyard may also be used (see section “Using the Lanyard”).
In The Car
For conversations in the car, you can use the External Microphone
(MIC 014-R) with the optional 3.5 mm - 3.5 mm Microphone Extension
Cord (WCA 007 WC) and optional Lapel Clip (CLP 014) to attach the
microphone to the shirt or blouse of your fellow rider (see “Extending
the Microphone” on pg 15).
WARNING!
To prevent injury, route the WCA 007 WC cord such that it will not cause
entanglement and/or interfere with the safe driving of a car (or other
vehicle), or cause entanglement in other locations.

English
15
Extending the External Microphone
When the Pocketalker’s internal microphone is too far away
from the desired sound to be eective, the optional 3.5mm 12ft
extension cord (WCA 007 WC) can be used to extend an external
microphone to a television or another person.
WARNING!
To prevent injury, route the WCA 007 cord in a manner that
prevents it from becoming a tripping or entanglement hazard.
To extend the Microphone:
1. Plug the external microphone into the female end of the
extension cord. Arrange the cord to reach the loudspeaker of
the TV or other person. Plug the male end of the extension
cord into the microphone jack on the Pocketalker.

Using an Optional Neckloop
Williams Sound’s optional neckloop (NKL 001) can be used with the
Pocketalker in situations where the user has a hearing aid with a T-coil.
WARNING! To prevent strangulation, the neckloop should
not be used if there is a risk of getting it lodged or stuck in machin-
ery or other objects.
How it works: The Pocketalker picks up the sound with the
internal or external microphone, and sends it into the neckloop.
The neckloop magnetically couples with the T-coil in the listener’s
hearing aid(s). With the hearing aid T-coil switch on, the listener
can hear the sound directly in their hearing aid(s).

English
17
To use the neckloop: Place the neckloop around your neck as
shown below. While holding the housing with one hand, pull up on
the cord lock bead with the other hand to tighten for comfort. Plug
the neckloop into the headphone jack on the Pocketalker. Turn on
the T-coil in the hearing aid(s). Turn on the Pocketalker and adjust
the volume to a comfortable listening level.

investment from accidental dropping, and provides quick and easy access
for operation whenever it is needed.

Hints & Tips / Troubleshooting
The Pocketalker has been designed to be as easy to use as
possible. However, if you have trouble, check the following:
1. If using an external microphone, make sure the microphone is
plugged into the “External Mic” jack and the T-Coil switch is
set to “O”. Make sure the earphone or headphone is plugged
into the “Headphone” jack . If using the T-Coil on the
Pocketalker, make sure the T-Coil Switch is on and verify
that the T-Coil indicator LED is lit.
2. Make sure the batteries are not depleted and have been
inserted correctly (observing correct polarity ±) into the battery
compartment.
3. If using rechargeable batteries, make sure the batteries
are suciently charged and that the battery switch is set
appropriately to the NiMH position.
4. If you experience a howling or squealing sound, this is called
feedback. Depending on the earphone or headphone used, you
can sometimes get feedback when the volume control is turned
higher than 3 or 31⁄2.
To reduce feedback, turn down the volume, or move the
microphone (internal or external) farther away from the
earphone or headphone.
Also, try turning the Tone Control down (counter-clockwise)
to reduce the high frequency.
5. The Pocketalker headphone jack is a stereo jack, designed for
use with stereo earphones or headphones. However, if you use
mono earphones or headphones with the Pocketalker, turn the
balance control (located in the battery compartment) fully to the
left, or “mono” position. While this maximizes volume, this will
also help in maximizing battery life.
6. Observe what the LED indicators on the unit are doing:
Power ON LED (on front)
Charging LED (on right side)
T-Coil LED (on right side)
See the chart under “LED Indicators” to determine unit status
and problem resolution.
7. If the steps above don’t solve the problem, contact your
Williams Sound Dealer for further instructions.
