Two years ago (2010) the subject covered almost two pages in the Manual the most salient points to the OP being:
"Umpires are explicitly advised and strongly urged to seek help on the following:
>When they are missing, or could be missing, crucial information needed to make a judgement.
>When they have a doubt.
>When doubt has been created."
"If you are missing a piece of information
necessary to making a call, go to your partner, unsolicited, prior to rendering any decision."
"If doubt is created immediately
after making your call, then, again unsolicited go to your partner for the information needed."
This season it's down to a paragraph in which the first three sentences read...
"The are times by rule and
circumstance that umpires need to ask for help. Going for help does not destroy an umpire's credibility, but allows an umpire to receive a
piece of information that was missed when rendering a call. Anytime an umpire seeks help from a partner
that partner must have a credible position to give assistance on the call."
