Ringing

Positive Disconnect

In the ON position, this switch hangs up the phone for approximately two seconds, even if the switchhook depression is for a shorter duration. This action prevents inadvertent switchhook flashes. To ini- tiate a switchhook flash in this mode, the FLASH button must be pressed. In the OFF position, switchhook functioning is normal.
