Music On Hold For Telephones

This circuit provides music-on-hold for telephones. When the switch S1 is pressed while the phone is on the cradle, transistors T1 and T2 latch on, activating an IC that generates music. The music is coupled to the phone lines. When the phone is picked up, the voltage drops and the circuit turns off, stopping the music. The circuit automatically turns off if the voltage from the phone lines drops below 15 volts.
