Smart call blocker

Screen calls without numbers
The telephone announces to the caller with “Hello. Calls to this number are being screened by
Smart call blocker...” If you have recorded your name in the screening announcements, your
recorded name will replace “this number” in the announcements. See Screening announcement on
page 88.
If the caller hangs up before the call is screened, or without leaving his/her name while the call is
being screened, the call will be logged as missed call in the caller ID log.
While a call is being screened, you can press or /SPEAKER to stop
screening and answer the call.
After the telephone screened a call, and is ringing and announcing the caller’s name to you, you can
press
OFF/CANCEL to mute the ringer, or press CALL BLOCK to reject the call directly.
After you picked up a screened call and the telephone is announcing the screening options to you,
you can press
OFF/CANCEL to hang up the call.
If you receive a call waiting call without number while on a call, Smart call blocker will not screen
the new call. You can press or /SPEAKER to take the new call.
Robocalls are unable to respond to the screening announcement, and therefore, will not get
through and ring. If you want to allow some robocalls to get through, save their names in the star
name list. See page 85.
The telephone can respond to remote access code while it is playing the screening announcement.
This allows you to access your answering system from an unknown number remotely. See Remote
access on page 122.
