OutGoing Message – Main Greeting (Note: No Battery Backup is Needed)
Follow the setup on page 1 to assist you in recording your OGM. The purpose of the statement “we do
not accept telemarketing calls and please put us on your do not call list” is to inform your uninvited caller
that he should not attempt to call you again and is legally binding. Review the following example:
(Pre-
recorded) ”Hello, if you know your party’s extension, enter it at any time. The number you’ve
reached does not accept telemarketing calls or b ocked numbers. Please unblock your
number and try again
.” If you record your own personalized message, the pre-recorded factory
announcement will be saved. Also, you can inform your caller to “Start your fax now” during the
main greeting if you want to auto route fax calls.

How PrivacyCall Operates
When calls come in, all phone numbers that are Invited will ring phones throughout your home/office like
normal and to the PHONE Port on the back of the PrivacyCall, except for Out Of Area, Private and
Unknown callers showing no phone number. These calls will be answered by the PrivacyCall for
processing and if the caller knows your Privacy code (extension number), then he can enter it at anytime
to ring your phone. If you have Call Forwarding enabled at the PrivacyCall, then your caller will be
forwarded as well using 3-Way Calling to your cell phone or forwarded number. Note: 3-Way Calling
service is required for this feature to work. If you are running a business and want to hear from Out Of
Area, Private and Unknown callers as well you can enable Business Mode Code 931 to allow all callers
to ring through except those you want to block. If someone unfamiliar with your system calls in and is
not yet invited, the PrivacyCall will answer with the main OGM announcement and then ring-up your
answering machine where he can leave a message. Blocked callers will be immediately answered and
after one phantom ring get hung-up on. If you miss your Invited caller, your combo phone-answer
machine attached to Port 2 or phone company voice mail will take a message for you. If your caller
hangs-up during any part of the call, so will PrivacyCall to await another call.
Automatic Caller ID Call Routing
Automatic call routing will begin to work right after the first call when Caller ID information is displayed.
Caller ID information is displayed on the front panel and simultaneously compared to the stored numbers
you have entered, then routes the incoming calls accordingly. All Invited callers will continue to ring your
phones, but blocked callers will be hung-up on.
