If you receive a landline or cell line
incoming call when you have activated
remote voice control on a connected
cell phone, the remote voice control
operation will be ended.
The feature may be ended
automatically by your cell phone.
For example, a cell call has been
established via the remote voice
control feature and the call has just
ended.
If you need to press dialing keys (0-9,
TONE or QUIET#) during a cell call,
please make the call using the cell
lines of your telephone system instead
of using the voice app via the remote
voice control feature (see Make,
answer or end a cell call section).
About Smart call blocker*
If you have subscribed to caller ID service,
then you can use Smart call blocker to
screen robocalls, telemarketing calls and
unwanted calls for you, while allowing
welcome calls to get through.
The screening feature of Smart call blocker is
applicable to home calls only. All incoming cell calls
will get through and ring.
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 home calls, you can
allow these calls, block these calls, or
forward these calls to the answering
system.
With some easy configurations, you can
set to only filter 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 incoming home calls by asking
the callers to record their names and
press the pound key (#). After 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 phonebook or allow list, they will
bypass all screening and ring directly to
your handsets.
NOTES
Smart call blocker is on, once you
install your telephone. It allows all
incoming calls to get through and
ring by default. You can change the
Smart call blocker settings to screen
incoming calls. For more details, see
Set profile.
With call screening active, Smart
call blocker screens and filters all
incoming home calls from numbers
or names that are not yet saved in
your phonebook, 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.
To turn off Smart call blocker, see Set
Smart call blocker on/off.
Call categories
Calls are classified into four categories:
Welcome calls
Welcome calls are calls with telephone
numbers saved in your allow list or
phonebook, 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.
