Background Music (F19)

Background Music (F19)

Description

This feature is available only on system phones with speakers.

This feature provides background music through the speaker of an idle system phone 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 processor module.

Considerations

The Background Music feature broadcasts music over telephone lines. The performance of music over telephone lines is a public performance under United States Copyright law. Accordingly, in order for the performance of that music to be lawful, it must be licensed annually to the user by the copyright owners or their representatives (such as ASCAP or BMI).

The Magic-On-Hold system includes the required license for the first year. This license must be renewed annually.

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.
