Screen uncategorized calls
If Smart call blocker is on, and your telephone is 
set to screen uncategorized calls, the telephone 
will not ring when receiving the following incoming 
calls:
 Incoming calls with absent caller ID numbers;
 Incoming calls with numbers that are not in your 
directory, allow list, nor block list; or
 Incoming calls with names that are not in your 
star name list.
The telephone plays a screening announcement 
to the caller and asks the caller to respond before putting the call 
through to you. There are 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 (#).
