Option 1: Screening with
caller name
If you have selected this
option, the telephone
plays the screening
announcement, and then
asks the caller to say his/her
name before the call rings
on your telephone. You
will then hear the caller’s
name announced if you
have turned on the caller
ID announce feature. Then,
you can decide whether to
accept or reject the call, or
to forward the call to the
answering system.
Option 2: Screening
without caller name
If you have selected this
option, the telephone
plays the screening
announcement, and then
asks the caller to press
the pound key (#) before
the call rings on your
telephone. You can then
answer the call.
Option 3: Allow (default
settings)
The telephone allows the
calls to get through and
ring. The caller’s number
will not be saved to the
allow list.
Option 4: Answering
system
If you have selected this
option, the telephone
forwards the calls to the
answering system without
ringing.
Option 5: Block
If you have selected this
option, the telephone
rejects the calls with block
announcement without
ringing. The caller’s
number will not be saved
to the block list.
