The Skutch Adapter is an interface between your phones and your music on hold player.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There’s a way to do it! If you purchased your phones at an office supply store, you’ll have a hard time finding where to plug in the music on hold<\/em>. These ordinary 2 and 4 line phones are made without the brains to tell music to start and stop when a caller is holding. We can, however, trick the phone into acting like a big office system.<\/p>\n

Easy On Hold<\/strong> offers a line of music on hold adapters made by Skutch Electronics. These devices “listen” for the small voltage shift that takes place when the hold button<\/em> is pressed. This triggers the music on and off at the appropriate times.<\/p>\n

Tips For Adding Music On Hold to Your Small Office Phones<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • All phones must be the same make and model. Because each phone on the market is different, there is a unique on-hold adapter for each.<\/li>\n
  • One Skutch device is all you need to activate hold music<\/em> all of the phones in your office.<\/li>\n
  • The adapters do not generate music on hold<\/em>–they activate it.You still need a professional music on hold player.<\/li>\n
  • While the cost of these on hold adapters can run up to $300, they work with your\u00a0 less-expensive phones, and your office will sound as though you’ve got a big, expensive telecom system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
