welcome callers to your directory 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 directory, 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.
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 phonebook,
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.
