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. The fax call would simply ring into Port 4 and then hang-up after 5 rings. This feature
can be disabled with code 500 and re-enabled with code 501 through programming. Using your phone in
any port, PRESS ## then PRESS 500 hear <Beep> <Beep> to disable. To re-enable auto fax detection,
enter 501 hear <Beep> <Beep>.
Changing Extension (Distinctive) Ringing Styles (Code 72)
PrivacyCall defaults to the normal USA ringing style to all ports from the factory. You can set distinctive
ringing to each extension by using your phone in any port and PRESS ## then PRESS 72 hear <Beep>
<Beep>. To change to the normal USA ring style to all ports PRESS 71. Note: When the combination
phone Code 753 is enabled, distinctive ringing to ports will ring in normal (71) mode only.
Call Forwarding Feature (Code 57)
PrivacyCall can forward your PrivacyCall to your cell phone or anywhere with 3-Way Calling from your
phone company. When your caller enters the Privacy code for extension 2, your phone will ring 3 times
and then begin the forwarding process. Answer and carry on your conversation as normal. When you
are done, simply hang-up and PrivacyCall will reset after your caller hangs-up.
1) Call Forward Interruption During forwarding, you can interrupt the call being forwarded in the
event you are there locally by simply picking up on any of the phones on any of the ports on
PrivacyCall. However, after the PrivacyCall DIALS the forwarding number, you will hear a busy signal
telling you the line is busy forwarding. To interrupt the call, press any key once to end the
forwarding process within two seconds. This will connect you immediately to the caller. You can also
stop the forwarding process completely at the end of your cell call by pressing * #
at anytime.
2) Timeout Features Once your caller is forwarded to your forwarding number, he will have a limit of
20 minutes to continue his call. Thereafter, you will hear a signal beep every 20 minutes and either
party can simply press any key on the phone dial pad to continue for another 20 minutes. The
timeout feature also limits the time a call can stay forwarded on by accident.
Setting the Forwarding Number (Code 67)
Use your phone in any port and PRESS ## then PRESS 67, enter the forwarding number to your cell
phone, Ex. 602-996-5755 followed by the * key hear <Beep><Beep>. Then, PRESS 57 to enable
forwarding. Ex. enter ##, 67, 602-996-5755 *, 57 (wait for beeps). To disable forwarding PRESS 56.
Some phone company’s 3-way calling programs require a long delay in order to make the call connection
so you can use time delay codes to slow down the timing. For example, use #2 in the dial string above
to get a 2 second pause or use #5 to get a 5 second delay. Ex. enter ##, 67, #2 602-996-5755 *
Call Forwarding Ringing Option (580)
To remove the ringing of your phone locally before starting the Call Forwarding process, enter
programming with ## and then code 580 hear <beep> <beep>. To turn this feature back on enter 581
hear <beep> <beep>. Note: The second OGM must be recorded to inform your callers of forwarding.
Changing PrivacyCall Answer Delay (Code 792)
The default answer delay is two rings to present Caller ID info and allow ringing to all your phones one to
two times before PrivacyCall answers. The default setting is 792. To change the delay of the incoming
ring to one ring, use your phone in any port and PRESS ## then PRESS 791 hear <Beep><Beep>. This
allows the Caller ID to still work yet forces the ring interception to occur faster. Note: This may not work
for certain phone line services.
