NOTE:
If you use equipment that rebroadcasts music or other copyrighted
materials, you may be required to obtain a copyright license from and pay
license fees to a third party (such as the American Society of Composers,
Artists, and Producers or Broadcast Music Incorporated). Magic On Hold
requires no such license and can be purchased from Lucent Technologies.
Pool buttons cannot be assigned to or removed from extensions unless the pool
has trunks assigned. If all trunks are to be removed from a pool, all Pool button
assignments must first be removed from extensions. Another way of handling this
situation is to program another trunk into the pool and then remove the Pool
button assignments from the extensions.

result is a Pool button assignment.

programming so that the appropriate number of lines is assigned to buttons
on these telephones.
Lines and trunks are assigned to buttons in the order in which you press
each line button on the system programming console or keyboard. Existing line
assignments can be rearranged by removing all current assignments and then
pressing the line buttons on the console or keyboard in the order in which they
should appear on the buttons. For information on the order of the programmed
buttons, refer to the button numbers on the applicable planning form for each
telephone.
If you want to reserve some blank buttons for features between line buttons, a line
must be assigned as a placeholder for each blank button. After all lines are
