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.
