Smart call blocker
Screen uncategorized calls
If Smart call blocker is on, and your telephone is set to
screen uncategorized calls, the telephone will not ring
when receiving the following incoming calls:
f Incoming calls with absent caller ID numbers;
f Incoming calls with numbers that are not in your
directory, allow list, nor block list; or
f Incoming calls with names that are not in your star
name list.
The telephone plays a screening announcement to the
caller and asks the caller to respond before putting the call
through to you. There are 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 (#).

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.
