How Digitone’s Call Blocker Operates
When calls come in, all phone numbers that are Invited will ring phones throughout your home/office like
normal and to the PHONE Port on the back of the Call Blocker, except for Anonymous, Out Of Area,
Private and Unknown callers showing no phone number. These calls will be answered by the Call
Blocker for processing and by default be hung-up on unless program Code 72 is enabled to allow these
call types to ring in. If you are running a business and want to hear from Anonymous, Out Of Area,
Private and Unknown callers as well, you can enable Business Mode Code 31 to allow all callers except
those you want to block. Blocked callers will be immediately answered and after one ring get hung-up
on. If you miss your Invited caller, your combo phone-answer machine attached to the Phone Port or
phone company voice mail will take a message for you. If your caller hangs-up during any part of the
call, so will Call Blocker to await another call. VIP callers can ring through at any time regardless of
After Hours Mode or Invited caller settings. Invited callers can only ring through normally when After
Hours Mode is not enabled.
Caller ID Display Buttons The display is normally in Protected mode, Ex. 6025555555, shown on
the display to prevent accidental number entries to a list. To add Blocked, Invited or VIP list entries, you
must use the Up or Down viewing buttons to select a displayed number which will then show the
numbers with dashes between the digits, Ex. 602-555-5555. This allows you to add a number to a list.
Blocking Callers can be enabled using the Up or Down viewing buttons and pressing the Block
button Twice quickly on the front panel. “NBR Blocked” will display and the light indicator will flash to
show that call is now on the Blocked Call List. When a blocked caller calls in, the caller ID will display
their number and “Blocked” with the light flashing to show the call is being answered and hung up on.
Inviting Callers can be enabled using the Up or Down viewing buttons then, press and hold the
Invite button for one second on the front panel and you will then see “Release Button”. Release the
button and you see “NBR Invited”. The light indicator will flash to show that call is now on the
Invited Call List. When an invited caller calls in, the caller ID will display their number and “Invited”.
Inviting VIP Callers can be enabled using the Up or Down viewing buttons and pressing the Invite
button Twice quickly on the front panel. “NBR VIP” will display and the light indicator will flash to
show that call is now on the VIP Call List. When a VIP caller calls in, the caller ID will display their
number and “VIP”.
Types of Incoming Calls
Invited Callers - 30 numbers or area codes The factory setting is: Global Invite of any call with
a standard number displayed. Invited callers are all callers displaying a numerical phone number on the
LCD. The Call Blocker will allow all other phones to ring as well, then after seven rings the Call Blocker
will hang-up the call, assuming the answer machine doesn’t answer the call first. Invited callers will not
be able to ring through during the After Hours Mode. If you want specific callers to ring through at that
time they must be added to the VIP list. Invited Caller List Limits include either unlimited numbers with
Code 96 # * (factory setting) or added individually.
VIP Callers - 30 numbers These callers will be allowed to ring through at all times and are stored in a
separate VIP list from the Invited callers. VIP callers can ring through even when the After Hours Mode
is used to route calls away from the phone in the Phone port. This caller list should be used for your
immediate family or associates who will need full access to you and your phone or for emergencies.
Blocked Callers - 80 numbers or area codes Callers on your Blocked list cannot ring your phone in
the Phone port and cannot leave a message. Blocked numbers are numbers that you add and will be
answered immediately, followed by a hang-up after 8 seconds. The Red light will flash quickly when a call
is being blocked.
OPX Type Calls - OPX calls display as: Anonymous, Out of Area, Private and Unknown or “X” calls that
do not have a minimum 7 digit number displayed, or have characters in the number like # or *, or have
been “Spoofed” to look like a real number. The factory setting is to hang-up on these type of calls.
