Additional Standard SPIRIT System Features
There are a few other things about the SPIRIT system that you should know. Some are
relevant to particular services that a telephone company provides. We suggest you
review them in case you have one of these services.
Changing To Touch Tone
To send access codes for special services, sometimes you need a “tone” on your
telephone. The SPIRIT system can be installed for use with rotary (pulse) or touch tone
services. If your local telephone service happens to be rotary, you can change to touch
tone with the press of a button on your phone.

requiring touch tone.
Switchhook Flash
“Switchhook Flash” allows you to disconnect a caller and get a dial tone. Pressing the
Recall/Drop button is the same as hanging up, but by using the Recall/Drop button you
will get a dial tone immediately. It can be used when making many calls in a row
instead of hanging up between them. And if you have a PBX system or electronic
central office custom calling features, the switchhook flash (or “drop” button) is used to
access the features.
To use the switchhook flash with the SPIRIT system you:

the other end of the line, and receive
