Storing Invited and Blocked Numbers Adding Phone Numbers – Area Codes You can block or allow whole area codes, exchanges or parts of numbers using the (#) symbol as a replacement for any number. To invite a single area code, for example, enter 96 then 602 (for example) then ### ####. This will allow all callers from 602 area code to ring your phone and block all others. Conversely, if you want to block that area code, use code 97 then 602 ### ####.
Inbound Call Indicator and Caller ID All PrivacyCalls show the line status with the front two Green lights (LEDs). When these two lights flicker quickly, it means there is an inbound call coming in from the phone company. These two lights will also come on when an identified caller on the Invited Caller List is calling in. They will stay on until the end of the ring count or if the line is answered. The Green LEDs also flash once quickly when there is a hang-up or a detected phone being taken offhook.
Advanced User Features Internal Audible Ringer PrivacyCall models come with an internal audible ringer just like a phone has so you can hear your caller ringing in. The ringer only sounds when an invited or coded caller dials in. So when your caller who is on the Invited list calls, the ringer will sound off and port 2 will begin to ring any phones connected to it.
Auto Fax Detection Feature (Code 501) PrivacyCall Blocker can automatically detect incoming fax calls and route them to Port 4 after OGM 1 is announced. This feature is perfect for routing regular fax calls directly to your fax machine without your having to stay by the phone. Conversely, it is also handy for routing junk fax calls to Port 4 which is separate from your phones and answering devices. In this case you would not have a fax machine installed on Port 4.
Time Of Day Mode (TOD) - Programmable Time Feature Introduction During a certain time of the day or night you can set the PrivacyCall to enter into TOD Mode. This mode is designed to make all calls go to the answer machine when it is enabled, either on a one time or daily basis. If you run a business, then you would use this mode for after hours so all callers can leave a message.
Changing Number of Rings To A Port (Code 8+) The PrivacyCall defaults to 5 rings to each port for all functions. If you want to increase or decrease this number of rings, then enter programming with your phone in any port and PRESS ## then PRESS 8, then the number of rings you want, Ex. 4 or 5 or 6, etc. hear . Hang-up All Uninvited Callers (Code 601) PrivacyCall can terminate each call that has no dialed entry from your caller.
(maximum of 6) until you hear a Beep, then enter * and hear , hang-up. Try to enter programming again with # # and hear . Troubleshooting Caller Lists You can check to see if you have stored Invited or Blocked caller lists by just taking the phone off the hook and then hanging back up. Right after you hang-up, the front two green lights will come on for a second to let you know that it has stored numbers.
