Screen calls without numbers
If Smart call blocker is on, and your telephone is set 
to screen calls without number, the telephone will 
not ring when receiving incoming calls that are “out 
of area“ or with numbers set to “Private“. It plays a 
screening announcement to the caller and asks the 
caller to respond before putting the call through to 
you.
The telephone has two screening options. You can 
set your Smart call blocker to screen these calls by 
asking the callers to record their names and then 
press the pound key (#). Alternatively, you can screen these calls by 
only asking the callers to press the pound key (#).

call blocker. Please say your name aer the tone, then press pound.” 
to the caller “Please wait a moment while your call is connected.”. 
The telephone starts ringing and announces the caller’s name. The 
telephone screen displays Screened call and you can pick up the call. 
The telephone will then ask whether you want to answer or reject 
the call, or to forward the call to the answering system.
