Call Types & Caller ID Reception

First Ring Suppression Mode (Code 750)

When a call comes in, the phone company’s Caller ID information will display on all phones connected

to the telephone line but the PrivacyCall will suppress the first ring to the Phone Port to

prevent it from ringing and receiving Caller ID. If the caller is an Invited caller then the Caller ID

information will display on the first ring to the phones connected to the Phone port thereafter. This stops

unwanted Caller ID information from being received by the phones connected to the Phone port, like Out

of Area, Unavailable, a Blocked caller’s number. If you don’t want to suppress the first ring to the Phone

port and hear the first ring, PRESS ## then enter 751 hear <Beep><Beep>. This code will allow all

rings and all Caller ID information to be received by phones connected to the Phone port. To return to

the (default) first ring suppression mode, PRESS ## then enter 750 hear <Beep><Beep>.

The Four Types of Incoming Calls

There are four categories of calls that will be processed: Answered, Invited, Blocked and Faxes. Note: If

during the phone company’s delivery of the Caller Identification Number an “Error” is displayed, all

callers will be treated as Answered calls.

Answered Calls:

PrivacyCall will answer and announce your OGM greeting for the following Caller ID names or numbers:

Private, Out of Area, Unavailable, Anonymous, Unknown, Error or no number displayed at all and process

them as a normal call to the answer machine if no privacy code is entered.

Fax Calls: Code 95

PrivacyCall can automatically route fax calls based on their phone number using Code 95 as an Invited

fax caller. Fax calls can also be auto routed based on Distinctive Ringing using Code 771 or detecting

incoming fax calls that have the calling (CNG) signal during the main greeting OGM. These calls are all

routed directly to Port 4 where your fax machine could be located.

Invited Calls: Code 96

When an incoming Caller ID number matches a stored Invited number, your caller will not hear the

Outgoing Message, but instead, PrivacyCall will allow all phones to ring, then after seven rings PrivacyCall

will hang-up, assuming the answer machine doesn’t answer the call. If Forwarding is enabled, the call

will be answered and PrivacyCall will begin ringing the Phone Port only, three times, followed by your

OGM 2 announcement and then, forwarded to your forwarding number, which could be your cell phone.

Blocked Calls: Code 97

Callers on your Blocked list cannot ring your phone, cannot leave a message or enter a code to gain

access. Blocked numbers are numbers that you add and will be answered with ringing heard only by

your caller, followed by a hang-up. The Red and Yellow front lights will flash quickly when call blocking.

Caller List Limits

When the allocation for both Invited and Blocked numbers total 30, a BUZZ instead of a beep will be

heard in the handset to indicate memory is full and the Red LED will flash five times. When an entry

error occurs a BUZZ can also be heard in the handset. Note: PrivacyCall does not display your Blocked or

Invited callers for security purposes, but you can keep track of them with the chart below.
