Model PPA VP 37 Wide-Band FM Wireless Listening System

System Overview

Thank you for purchasing the Personal PA Value Pack System from Williams

Sound. The PPA VP 37 System is a Wideband FM Listening System which

operates in the 72-76 MHz frequency band. Designed for hearing assistance

in places of public access, the PPA VP 37 is for those who need help

overcoming background noise, reverberation, or distance from the sound

source. The versatile PPA VP 37 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 T27 Transmitter and the PPA

R37 Receiver. 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

1000 feet (305 m).

To avoid diculties, 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, please call us

toll-free at 1-800-843-3544.

1. Select Location. Position the PPA T27 transmitter near the audio source

(i.e. sound system, mixer) from which it will receive audio.

2. Install the Antenna. Gently thread the ANT 021 rubber duckie antenna

onto the stud recessed in the hole on the top of the transmitter. FCC

rules allow only the use of antennas provided by Williams Sound. To use

a remote antenna supplied by Williams Sound, the antenna cap may be

removed by turning it counter-clockwise with a pliers or wrench. Please

call customer service 800.843.3544 if you have any questions.

3. Connect the Power. Locate the TFP 036 power supply cord equipped

with the 5-pin DIN connector, then plug the connector into the “Power

In” jack located in the back of the T27. Plug the power supply into the

AC outlet. On power up, the number “8” will scroll across the T27 display

while the system initializes. The system will then display the default

system frequency (72.9 MHz) or the last selected frequency set by the

user.

4. Select the Frequency. The T27 has 17 available channels in the 72-76

MHz band. By default, the T27 frequency is set to 72.9 MHz. To change

the frequency on the T27, press and release the down “ ” or up “

” frequency selector button until the desired frequency is displayed. After

3 seconds, the frequency selection will be set, and the audio will begin

transmitting on the new frequency.

NOTE: You can LOCK this selection to prevent others from accidently

changing the frequency.

To LOCK the desired frequency, press and hold both down “ ” and up

“ ” frequency selector buttons for 3 seconds until the word “Loc” appears

on the display. The frequency is now locked. Should the user press the

frequency selector button while in “Lock” mode, the word “Loc” will be

displayed for 2 seconds.

To UNLOCK the desired frequency, press and hold both down “ ” and up

“ ” frequency selector buttons for 3 seconds until the transmitter displays

”Un” then “Loc” on the display. The frequency is now unlocked. The user is

now free to change the frequency on the T27 as needed

5. Connect the Audio Source. On the back of the T27, an RCA-type

“Audio In” jack is available for connecting a line-level, unbalanced audio

source. On the front of the T27, a 3.5 mm “Mic Input” jack is available

to connect a Williams Sound electret microphone. Connect the desired

audio source to the T27 transmitter and proceed to step 6.

Model PPA VP 37 Wide-Band FM Wireless Listening System

6. Adjusting the Audio Source. With the audio source playing, use a small

screwdriver or tuning wand to rotate the “Adjust” control on the front of

the T27:1) clockwise to increase the audio level; or 2) counterclockwise to

decrease the audio level. Refer to the audio “Level” indicator LED on the

front of the T27 as you make your adjustments:

Audio Level Indicator LED

Never On = Audio source is TOO LOW.

Blinks occasionally = Audio source is OPTIMAL.

Always on = Audio source is TOO HIGH.

7. Listen with an FM Receiver.

IMPORTANT: The FM receiver being used with the T27 transmitter will

need to be on the same frequency as the transmitter.

Install the receiver batteries, plug in the earphone, turn on the receiver

and walk around the listening area. The signal should be clear and quite

loud when the volume is turned up. See pages 10-13 for detailed receiver

instructions.
