Background Music
Description
If your System is set up to provide Background Music, music can be played from the speakers of idle
telephones. If a call is made to an extension receiving Background Music, the music stops and the
phone rings. Background Music is also interrupted when the phone goes offhook.
The System can also provide Music-on-Hold (MOH) using a separate music source (except with
CPC-HS). If MOH is provided, callers automatically hear music when they are placed on hold. (For
more information on MOH, see page 47.)
Note:
CPC-HS has only 1 input that is used for both BGM and MOH.

music through the MOH and/or Background Music feature. Panasonic, its dis-
tributors, and affiliates assume no liability should users of Panasonic equipment
fail to obtain such a license.
