Of course it is. Anytime the plate umpire leaves his position to perform duties other than making a call, play is suspended, no runners may advance or be put out.
Since the play has been called (ball on the batter), I can see where this is not consider calling a play. ISF 10.8.b
Do you allow a runner to keep running to 2nd & 3rd while you are checking with your partner?
