been installed and configured.
For more information about integrating and using HelixNet Partyline with your existing intercom

11.1 Using the Beltpack Keysets
The HBP-2X Beltpack supports two Partyline Channels, with a separate keyset (set of controls)
dedicated to the control of each Channel:
The left-hand keyset controls the first (top) Channel displayed on screen.
The right-hand keyset controls the second (bottom) Channel displayed on screen.
For details of the standard on screen information for each Channel, see Main Station/Remote
Channel keyset and display.
Note: For more information about using the beltpack in Menu mode, see Configuring and
managing the beltpacks from front menus.
The display screens enter screensaver mode (if enabled) if the beltpack remains inactive for a
period of time. Press any key to exit screensaver mode.
To send a call signal to all the connected devices (beltpacks and Main Station) on that Channel,
press the Call key.
To talk to all the devices connected to the Channel:
1. Connect a headset, using the 4-pin XLR–M connector on the base / rear of the beltpack.
Note: .
Note: For the location of the headset connector and the headset key, see E in HBP-2X
connectors and controls (rear view).
2. Press the Talk key.
3. Speak into the headset mic.
To adjust the volume of incoming audio for a Channel, turn the appropriate side-mounted rotary
control.
Turn the rotary control clockwise to increase the volume, and counter-clockwise to decrease
volume. The current volume level for the Channel is shown on screen.
