About Smart call blocker*
If you have subscribed to caller ID service, then you can use Smart call blocker
to lter robocalls, telemarketing calls and unwanted calls for you, while allowing
welcome calls to get through.
You can set up your lists of welcome callers and unwelcome callers. Smart call
blocker allows calls from your welcome callers to get through, and it blocks
calls from your unwelcome callers.
For other unknown calls, you can allow these calls, block these calls, or forward
these calls to the answering system.
With some easy congurations, you can set to only lter robocalls by asking
the callers to press the pound key (#) before the calls are put through to you.
You can also set Smart call blocker to screen unknown calls by asking the
callers to record their names and press the pound key (#). Aer your caller
completes the request, your telephone rings and announces the caller’s name.
You can then choose to block or answer the call, or you can forward the call to
the answering system. If the caller does not respond or record his/her name,
the call is blocked from ringing through. When you add your welcome callers to
your allow list, they will bypass all screening and ring directly to your handsets.
Notes:
f Smart call blocker is on and in default screening mode, once you install your telephone. It will screen all incoming calls and
asks callers to announce their names. We recommend that you set up your directory, allow list, and star name list before
using your telephone with Smart call blocker. This can avoid calls from your business associates, family members and
friends to go through the screening process. See Directory on page 87, Allow list on page 123 and Star name list
on page 129.
f With call screening active, Smart call blocker screens and lters all incoming calls from numbers or names that are not yet
saved in your directory, allow list, block list, or star name list. You can easily add incoming phone numbers to your allow
list and block list. This allows you to build up your lists of allowed and blocked numbers, and Smart call blocker will know
how to deal with these calls when they come in again.
