Telephone operation

Make, answer and end a call
f Make a cell call using the cell lines of your telephone system instead of the remote voice control feature, if you
need to press dialing keys (0-9, TONE , QUIET#) during a call.
f Smart call blocker is set to on by default. If your directory, allow list, star name list, and block list are empty, all
calls will be classified as unknown calls. The telephone will screen all calls and ask callers to announce their names
or press the pound key (#) before the calls ring on your telephone. We recommend that you set up your directory,
allow list, star name list, and block list before using your telephone with the Smart call blocker feature. See About
Smart call blocker on page 109.
