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 (#).

answering system.
