Thank you for purchasing the Personal PA Value Pack System from Williams Sound
Corporation.  The PPA VPE System is a Wide-Band FM Listening System which operates in
the 72-76 MHz frequency band. Designed for hearing assistance in places of public access,
the PPA VPE is for those who need help overcoming background noise, reverberation, or
distance from the sound source. The versatile PPA VPE is easily integrated with your
existing sound system or can be used with a microphone as a stand-alone system. 

The system has two principal parts: the T17 Transmitter and the R7 Receivers. Much like a
miniature radio station, the Transmitter and microphone pick up the sounds you want to hear
and broadcast them over an FM radio signal. The receivers are used to pick up the broadcast
up to 500 feet away.

To avoid difficulties, please read through these instructions as you begin to use the system.
Then save the manual for questions that arise as you continue to use your PERSONAL PA
Value Pack System.

If you have any problems with this Williams Sound product, don’t hesitate to call us toll-free
at 1-800-843-3544.
