Smart call blocker
Screen calls without numbers
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 announcing the caller’s name to you, you can press
OFF/CANCEL to
silence the ringer, or press CALL BLOCK to reject the call directly. The caller’s number will be added to the block list.
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. The caller’s number will not be added to the block list.
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 88.
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.
