About Smart call blocker
Smart call blocker handles calls in the following ways:
Call category Call control
Welcome calls Allow
The telephone rings when there is an incoming call 
with number saved in your allow list or directory, 
but not in your block list. Robocalls with caller 
names saved in your star name list will also ring.
Unwelcome calls Block
The telephone does not ring when there is an 
incoming call with number saved in your block list, 
and the call will be rejected.
Calls without numbers
 You can set to screen, 
allow, or block all calls 
of this call category, or 
to send these calls to 
the answering system. 
Allow is the default 
setting. To change the 
setting, see Control 
calls without numbers 
on page 80.
Screening with caller name
If you have selected this option, the telephone 
plays the screening announcement, and then 
ask the caller to say his/her name before the call 
rings on your telephone. You will then hear the 
caller’s name announced if you have turned on the 
caller ID announce feature. Then, you can decide 
whether to accept or reject the call, or to forward 
the call to the answering system.
Screening without caller name
If you have selected this option, the telephone 
plays the screening announcement, and then ask 
the caller to press the pound key (#) before the 
call rings on your telephone. You can then answer 
the call.
Allow (default settings)
The telephone allows the calls to get through and 
ring. The caller’s number will not be saved to the 
allow list.
Answering system
If you have selected this option, the telephone 
forwards the calls to the answering system 
without ringing.
Block
If you have selected this option, the telephone 
rejects the calls with block announcement without 
ringing. The caller’s number will not be saved to 
the block list.
