Smart call blocker
Screen calls without numbers
If Smart call blocker is on, and your telephone is set to
screen 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 (#).
Screen calls without numbers and ask for caller names
(default screening mode)
When the telephone is screening a call, the caller hears the
telephone announces “Hello. Calls to this number are being
screened by Smart call blocker. Please say your name aer
the tone, then press pound.” Aer the caller completes the
request, the telephone announces to the caller “Please wait
a moment while your call is connected.”. The telephone starts
ringing and announces the caller’s name. The telephone
screen displays Screened call and you can pick up the call.
The telephone will then ask whether you want to answer or
reject the call, or to forward the call to the answering system.
