How Digitone’s Call Blocker Operates When calls come in, all calls displaying a phone number will ring through to the phones throughout your home/office like normal and to the TEL phone port on the back of the Call Blocker. Calls like Anonymous, Out Of Area, Private and Unknown displaying no phone number will be answered by the Call Blocker and hung-up on unless program Code 72 is enabled to allow these call types to ring in.
Standard Caller ID Display Automatic Caller ID Call Routing Caller ID service from your phone company is required for Digitone’s Call Blocker to work. The first call to your Call Blocker unit will initialize the Clock and Date to the current date and time. Automatic call routing will begin to work right after the first call when Caller ID information is displayed.
Viewing Caller Lists You can review what numbers are stored in each caller list by entering programming: press and hold the Program Button for 3 seconds until you see “Program Mode”, then “Pick Up Phone”, when the prompt for “Enter Code” displays enter code: Code 41 to view Blocked Caller list – use arrow buttons to view up or down. To remove an entry press and hold the Block Button for 3 seconds on the front panel.
Programming Numbers - Invited, VIP and Blocked Global Invite (Factory Default) Invites all callers who display a phone number You can invite all callers who display a phone number and yet block a single number or area code. This one command will allow all Invited callers who display a phone number to ring through to the TEL phone port and all other devices connected directly to the phone line. To do this, enter programming with the Program Button.
Programming Numbers - Invited, VIP and Blocked (con’t) Inviting Individual Callers and Code 97 # * - “I want to Block all callers and just allow one or more numbers”. Note from the factory, all callers with a number displayed are already invited and can ring through, but you can create your own caller list by disabling the Global Invited list first. You can then program in preferred Invited callers using the Program Button on the front panel.
After Hours Mode - Programmable Time Feature Introduction During a certain time of the day or night you can set the Call Blocker to enter into After Hours Mode. This mode is designed to keep phones connected to the TEL phone port from ringing and allow calls to be answered by an optional answer machine when it is enabled on a daily basis. If you run a business, then you would use this After Hours Mode so all callers can leave a message.
“Private” Call Pass Thru (Code 74) Using Code 74 can allow “Private” type calls with No Number displayed to ring through to the TEL phone port while still blocking Out of Area and stored numbered calls. To enable Private Call Pass Thru, enter programming: then enter Code 74, when “Enter Code” displays. To turn this feature Off, when the prompt for “Enter Code” displays enter Code 75, display shows function.
Troubleshooting and Setup Help “When I am in Programming I don’t see the “Enter Code” prompt even though I have picked up the phone.” The prompt for “Pick Up Phone” is for normal corded phones but if you are using a cordless phone handset, you will also have to press the Talk or SPKR button on the cordless phone handset to receive the Enter Code prompt. “My callers cannot leave a message on my answer machine.
“Sometimes we have bad weather or poor electrical service and the Call Blocker seems to be affected from the power spikes or outages.” The Call Blocker has two processors on board (similar to your home computer) and they work in tandem with each other which requires the power service stay very consistent and with no variances. Power spikes can hit the telephone lines as well but when the power goes low or too high for too long it prevents the Call Blocker from working properly.
