Tip:

1.1 Before installing

To ensure that HelixNet Partyline delivers the desired performance, review the cable specifications for the
venue or application space before installing. To safely interface two-wire and four-wire audio source with
HelixNet Partyline, use the optional two-wire (HLI-2W2) and four-wire (HLI-4W2) interface modules for the
HMS-4X Main Station.
Warning: HelixNet Partyline operates at a different voltage than two-wire partyline
systems (such as Clear-Com Encore or PL-Pro). Do not connect any analog two-wire
partyline equipment to the Main Station powerlines as severe damage may occur.

1. Connect the supplied power cord to the
