Flash - Calibrated

Description

Calibrated Flash provides an alternative method of generating a Switchhook Flash.

The Calibrated Flash is produced by using a dedicated button or by generating a Switchhook Flash of 24 ms or more (on industry-standard sets). Unlike alternative signaling methods (see Recall and Ground Button), Calibrated Flash does not require the use of a third wire or second pair.
