Telephone Extension Hold Music Activators (TEHMA)
For true "hold button activation" of on-hold audio, each cordless phone requires the use of a
telephone headset (not included) in conjunction with a "hold music activator". Two hold music
activators and headset adapter cables have been included in your package. If you require
additional activators for other phones, please contact us. Most phones without activators are
able to engage the hold music feature by pressing the star key twice on the telephone keypad
and then (optionally) immediately pressing the HOLD button on the phone.
Cordless telephone connection
1.
Using the "cordless phone adapter cable (male)," plug the end of the cable with the phone
connector into the jack on the hold music activator marked “to phone.”
2.
Connect the headphone jack side of the cable to the cordless phone’s headset jack.
3.
Using the "cordless phone adapter cable (female)" plug the phone connector side of the cable
to the end of the hold music activator marked "to headset" and then plug the headset to the
other side of the connector cable.
System test
(if test fails, see troubleshooting guide)
1.
From any phone in the office with a "hold music activator" and a headset attached, dial the
phone number of another phone (a cell phone works well).
2.
Place the call on-hold using the HOLD button on the telephone.
3.
Return to call and confirm that the on-hold audio was present on the line while on-hold.
4.
Using the volume control on the rear of the unit, adjust the volume to proper level.
IMPORTANT: Excessive volume will cause the on-hold audio to shut off during playback.
Deactivating hold music manually
If for any reason the hold music is activated inadvertently, it can be deactivated by pressing any
key on your phone's dial pad
