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.

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.
■ Call Screening (F25) overrides Background Music.
