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. You could use the PrivacyCall as a standalone ringer and leave the rest of your phones and answer
machine connected as usual throughout your home or office. This ringer can be turned on and off with
program code 941 (ON) or 940 (OFF). Enter programming with # # and then enter 940 hear
<beep><beep> to turn it off. The ringer comes turned on from the factory.
Whole House or Office Ringing
All PrivacyCalls can ring up to 10 phones throughout the home or office with its built-in ring generator
supplying the standard 90 volts at 20 Hz. which is compatible with all makes of telephonic equipment. If
you want to install the PrivacyCall at your home or office in line with the terminal block (demarc) and the
rest of your phones, then the PrivacyCall can ring your phones only when you want them to.

DSL-VoIP Compatibility
PrivacyCalls are completely compatible with Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and/or VoIP carrier signaling
from your phone company. You might have to use a DSL filter in line with the PrivacyCall if digital noise
can be heard on the line.
Distinctive Ring Call Routing
Routing of a Distinctive Ring associated with a separate number from your phone company is supported
on Ports 2 & 4 only on the PrivacyCall Blocker. The type of ring pattern you receive could be the double
ring Short-Short, the triple slow ring Short-Long-Short, or the fast triple ring of Short-Short-Long. To
change these assignments, enter programming using any phone, and dialing # #, <beep> then enter
7632 to set Double ring to port 2 and Short Long Short to Port 4.
Combination Corded-Cordless/Answer Machine Phone System
If you have a single combination phone, connect it to Port 2 to capture Invited callers only. You will need
an optional second inexpensive answer machine for all other anonymous callers connected to Port 1.
Alternatively, if you have Voice Mail service from the phone company, connect your combo phone to Port
1 so the phone company can capture your calls. If you want to just use the internal ringer and capture
anonymous calls to the combo phone/answer machine, connect your combo phone to Port 1. Note: Call
Forwarding rings only port 2 or 3, but you can answer any call through any port or from any extension
phone in the home/office.
