Background Music (F19)

Use this feature to provide background music through the speaker of an idle system telephone for
your work area. Background Music plays the recorded material from the Music-On-Hold audio
source.

Considerations

Background Music is available only if Music-On-Hold is active and an audio source is
connected to the processor module.
Background Music is available only on system telephones with speakers.
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. 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 you make or answer a call, but resumes when the telephone
becomes idle again.
If a system telephone and a single-line telephone with a message waiting light are connected
in a combination extension, the single-line telephone's message waiting light does not light if
Background Music is on at the system telephone.
You can program a Background Music button on a system telephone to use the feature with
one touch. Use a button with lights.
Call Screening (F25) overrides Background Music.
