• The caller is sent to the answering system
and can leave a message even if the
answering system is off.
End a screened call:
• If you do not want to take the call, press
OFF on the cordless handset to end the
call.
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:
• Incoming calls with absent caller ID
numbers; or
• Incoming calls with numbers that are not
in your phonebook, allow list, nor block
list; or
• 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. The telephone has 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 (#). See
Screening announcement on page 43.
• You can set Smart call blocker to screens
and filters all uncategorized 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.
• The telephone announces to the caller
with “Hello. Calls to this number are being
screened by Smart call blocker...” If you
have recorded your name in the screening
announcements, your recorded name will
replace “this number” in the announcements.
See Screening announcement on page
43.
• If the caller hangs up before the call is
screened, or without leaving his/her name
while the call is being screened, the call will
be logged as missed call in the caller ID log.
