jack on the processor module. The jack must be active and an audio source must
be connected to the jack in order to provide recorded music or messages to
callers on hold.

Considerations
■ If Music-on-Hold is Not Active or if no audio source is connected, callers on
hold hear silence.
■ The audio source must be connected to the control unit using an RCA
phono plug. The Music-on-Hold input jack accepts a maximum input of 2
Volts at 50 Kohms. For more information, see the
PARTNER Advanced
Communications System Installation
guide.
■ If the audio source develops trouble (such as a bad tape), you can quickly
turn it off by changing the Music-on-Hold setting to Not Active until you are
able to solve the problem.
■ 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.
The Magic on Hold system, available from Lucent Technologies, includes
the required license for the first year. This license must be renewed
annually.
