This paper is concerned with an abstract dissipative hyperbolic equation with time-dependent coefficient. Under an assumption which ensures that the energy does not decay, this paper provides a condition on the coefficient, which is necessary and sufficient so that the solutions tend to the solutions of the free wave equation.
