Call categories
Calls are classified into four categories:
Welcome calls
Welcome calls are calls with telephone
numbers saved in your allow list or
directory, and not in your block list.
Welcome calls also include calls with
caller names saved in your star name list.
NOTES
• All incoming calls on your cell lines
will get through and ring, unless the
caller’s numbers are saved in your
block list. If you want to block a cell
call, add the number to the block list.
See Block list.
• There are many organizations
like schools, medical offices, and
pharmacies that use robocalls to
communicate important information
to you. Robocall uses an autodialer to
deliver pre-recorded messages. By
entering the name of the organizations
into the star name list, it ensures these
calls will ring through when you only
know the caller names but not their
numbers.
Unwelcome calls
Unwelcome calls are calls with telephone
numbers saved in your block list, and
you want to block their calls.
Calls without numbers (for home calls
only)
Calls without numbers are calls that are
“out of area“ or with numbers set to
“Private“.
Uncategorized calls (for home calls only)
Uncategorized calls include calls with
absent caller ID number, calls with
numbers that are not in your directory,
allow list, or block list, or calls with caller
ID names that are not in your star name
list.
NOTES
• The allow list stores up to 200 entries,
the block list stores up to 1,000 entries,
and the star name list stores up to 10
names.
Call handling
• Smart call blocker is set to on, and to
allow all incoming calls by default.
When Smart call blocker is on, the
first ring of all incoming calls will be
muted.
• If your directory, allow list, star name
list and block list are empty when
Smart call blocker is on, and you have
set to screen calls, the telephone will
screen all incoming home calls and
asks callers to announce their names
or press the pound key (#).
• If Smart call blocker is off, all incoming
home and cell calls ring, including
numbers saved in the block list.
• If QUIET mode is on, and Smart call
blocker is on and in screening mode,
all screened home calls will be
sent to the answering system after
screening.
