Note:
Holding the hookswitch down for longer than 1 second can
disconnect your call.
Using the FLASH Key
If you have a Siemens Flashphone telephone, press the FLASH key on
the lower right-hand corner of the keypad and listen for the dial tone.
The only function of the hookswitch is to disconnect calls.
Note:
The term “flash” in this document refers to either using the
hookswitch flash or using the FLASH key.
Flash Function
The flash function places any call you have in progress on soft
(temporary) hold and alerts the communications server that you want
to access a system feature or dial another party. The soft hold lasts until
you either hang up or reconnect to the call, or for a predetermined
length of time.
Note:
The system administrator may disable the Flash function at the
communications server. If this is the case, any attempt by the
user to access a system feature that requires the Flash function
will not be successful.
After you flash, you hear a dial tone. You can then dial a telephone
number or a feature access code.
Keep the following in mind when using the flash function:
•
It puts your party on soft hold; if you hang up after flashing, the call
immediately rings back on your telephone.
•
After you have dialed additional parties, you can hookflash (press
the hookswitch) to connect all parties on a conference call.
•
If you dial a wrong number or dial the wrong code after you have
flashed, flash again; the temporary hold stays in effect.
•
You must have dial tone before using a feature; if you do not have
a dial tone, press flash.
