Blocked calls
If Smart call blocker is on, incoming calls with 
numbers saved in your block list will not ring. The 
telephone plays the block announcement “Calls 
to this number are being screened by Smart call 
blocker. The number you are calling is not accepting 
your call. Please hang up.” to the caller, and the call 
will be terminated.
Notes:
f When Smart call blocker is off, all incoming calls will ring on your telephone system, including calls 
with numbers saved in the block list.
f If you have set prole to Block unknown, all unknown calls will be rejected. However, the caller’s 
numbers, if available, will not be saved to the block list. If you want to save the caller’s number to 
the block list, you can retrieve the number from caller ID log and save it to the block list. See Save 
a caller ID log entry to the block list on page 81. You can also retrieve the number and save 
it to your allow list. See Save a caller ID log entry to the allow list on page 86. If you want to 
retrieve the name from caller ID log and save it to the star name list. See Save a caller ID log entry 
to the star name list on page 90.
f The telephone can respond to remote access code while it is playing the block announcement. 
This allows you to access your answering system from an unknown number remotely. See Remote 
access on page 123.
