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.

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.

Invited Calls:

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 five 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:

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.

Fax Calls:

PrivacyCall Blocker automatically detects incoming fax calls, during OGM 1, that have the calling (CNG)

signal. These calls are routed directly to Port 4 where your fax machine could be located or you can use

this feature to dump junk fax calls on your regular line. In this case you would not have a fax machine

installed on Port 4. The fax call would simply ring into Port 4 and then hang-up after 5 rings.

Caller List Limits

When the allocation for both Invited and Blocked numbers total 45, 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 a duplicate

or entry error occurs a BUZZ can also be heard in the handset.
