Background Music (F19)

Description

This feature provides background music through the speaker of an idle system phone (except the MLC-6) for a user’s work area. Background Music plays the recorded material from the Music On Hold audio source.

Related Features

Background Music is available only if Music On Hold (#602) is active and an audio source is connected to the primary processor module.

Considerations

If you use the Background Music feature to broadcast certain copyrighted music or material, including songs or other material from radio broadcasts, you may be required to obtain the permission of the copyright owner. One way to obtain permission is to contact ASCAP, BMI, and/or similar performing rights organizations, to obtain a license. AT&T disclaims any liability arising out of the failure to obtain such a license, if required. For alternative (usually pre-licensed) sources of music to use with this feature, you may wish to contact Telephonetics International, Inc. at 1-800-446-5366.

Background Music stops when a user makes or answers a call, but resumes when the phone becomes idle again.

If a system phone and a standard phone with a message waiting light are connected in a combination extension, the standard phone’s message waiting light will not light if Background Music is on at the system phone.

You can program a Background Music button on a system phone to use the feature with one touch. A button with lights is recommended.

This feature is not available on MLC-6 or standard phones.
