Screen unknown home calls
f If Smart call blocker is on and you receive a call waiting home call:
- Smart call blocker will not screen a call waiting home call without number while on a call. You can press
or /SPEAKER to take the new call.
- After you have picked up a screened home call, the telephone checks whether the call waiting number is in the
directory, block list or allow list. It also checks whether the caller name is in the star name list. After that, The
telephone then displays the caller ID information or “Blocked call” accordingly. You can press or
/SPEAKER to take the new call, or press VOICE/CALL BLOCK on the handset to block it.
- While the telephone is screening a home call, the new call will be ignored and logged as missed call in the caller ID
log.
f Robocalls are unable to respond to the screening announcement, and therefore, will not get through and ring. If you
want to allow some robocalls to get through, save their names in the star name list. See page 88.
f The telephone can respond to remote access code while it is playing the screening announcement. This allows you to
access your answering system from an unknown number remotely. See Remote access on page 119.
