Switchhook Flash lets you place a call on Consultation Hold and return to dial tone so that you can invoke station features. Unlike alternative signaling methods (see Recall and Ground Button), Switchhook Flash does not require the use of a third wire or second pair.
Switchhook Flash and Calibrated Flash are mutually exclusive.
