Smart call blocker
Notes:
f You can set Smart call blocker to screen and lter all uncategorized calls from numbers or names that are not
saved in your directory, allow list, block list, or star name list. You can easily add incoming phone numbers to your
allow list and block list. This allows you to build up your lists of allowed and blocked numbers, and Smart call
blocker will know how to deal with these calls when they come in again.
f 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 announcements on page 101.
f 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.
f While a call is being screened, you can press or /SPEAKER to stop screening and answer the
call.
f After the telephone screened a call, and is ringing and announcing the caller’s name, you can press
OFF/CANCEL to
mute the ringer, or press CALL BLOCK to reject the call directly. The caller’s number will be added to the block list.
f After you picked up a screened call and the telephone is announcing the screening options, you can press
OFF/CANCEL to hang up the call. The caller’s number will not be saved to the block list.
f If the Smart call blocker feature is on and in screening mode, and you receive a call waiting call:
- If you have already picked up a screened call, the telephone checks whether the call waiting call’s number can be found
in the directory, block list or allow list. It also checks whether the caller name is in the star name list. After that, the
telephone displays the caller ID information or Blocked call accordingly. You can press or
/SPEAKER to take the new call.
- If the telephone is screening a call, the call waiting call will be ignored and logged as missed call in the caller ID log.
f 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 98.
f 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 137.
