Your Lucent Technologies representative can plan for added power-related 
hardware to provide your system with additional power and protection from power 
surges, although most systems do not need extra surge protection. Other 
accessories apply to system-specific conditions.

In a power failure, battery backup units can keep the system running for several 
hours. When you connect adjuncts and adapters to telephones, the power 
requirements for the telephones and the system increase. Sometimes it is 
necessary to add a power accessory, described in this section, to an individual 
telephone or to the system to accommodate these additional needs.

Release 5.0 and later systems only; in earlier releases, a group can have only one primary 
announcement device.

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 
American Society of Composers, Artists, and Producers (ASCAP) or Broadcast Music 
Incorporated (BMI). Or you can purchase a Magic on Hold system, which does not require 
you to obtain such a license, from Lucent Technologies.
