SYSTEM OVERVIEW Thank you for purchasing the PERSONAL PA® FM Monitor Receiver from Williams Sound Corp. This monitor receiver is intended to be used for hearing assistance with a Williams Sound PERSONAL PA Transmitter operating on one of 10 wideband channels from 72 - 76 MHz. The Monitor Receiver provides a convenient way to receive the PPA Transmitter broadcast in a remote location.
QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS 1. Make sure the R801 Receiver is set to the same operating frequency as your transmitter. See the transmitter instructions for frequency identification. Alternately, see step 6 below. 2. Choose a location for the R801 Receiver. Take into account proximity to the sound system, availability of AC power, rack mounting,and antenna installation requirements. 3. Install the Antenna. The rubber duck antenna threads into the hole on top of the receiver.

POWER LED INDICATOR Glows when the R801 power is on. FM FREQUENCY SWITCH The selected receiver channel must match the transmitter channel. The system is pre-set to 72.9 MHz.
USING AN ALTERNATE ANTENNA The operating range of the system is dependent on which antenna is used on the Receiver AND which antenna is used on the base-station Transmitter. The standard ANT 016 Rubber Duckie Antenna on both Receiver and Transmitter will provide sufficient operating range (up to 300 ft) for most applications.
SETTING THE SQUELCH CONTROL The squelch control sets the incoming signal level required to un-mute the R801. If the receiver is not locked onto a signal, it can produce noise. The function of the squelch circuit is prevent this noise when no signal is present., When the squelch is properly adjusted, turning off the Transmitter will cause the R801 to mute. The radio noise in each area is different, so you must adjust the squelch when the R801 is installed. 1.
USING MULTIPLE CHANNELS: 1. Multi-channel systems require a Transmitter and a Receiver for each channel. 2. Make sure each Transmitter matches each Receiver channel. See your Transmitter intructions. 3. You may be able to use adjacent channels in multi-channel systems if the R801 is the only receiver used. Other PPA Receivers cannot use adjacent channels. 4. You may use more than one receiver with each Transmitter. 5.
