How Digitone’s Call Blocker Operates

Only one Digitone Call Blocker is needed for any single telephone line you want to monitor. It can

be connected to any analog telephone service, wall plate or phone jack in your home or office. When

calls come in, all calls displaying a valid phone number will ring through to the phones connected

to the TEL phone port with Caller ID repeated. Blocked calls will not ring the phones connected to the

TEL port. Extension phones connected directly to the phone service will ring once on blocked calls.

Blocked callers will be immediately answered and after one ring, get hung-up on. The blocked caller

only hears one ring in their phone and then silence. By default, calls like Anonymous, Out Of Area,

Private and Unknown displaying no phone number are blocked. If you are running a business and

want to hear from Anonymous, Out Of Area, Private and Unknown callers, you can enable Business

Mode Code 31 to allow all callers to ring through except those displayed numbers you want to block.

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.

Types of Incoming Calls

Invited Callers - 30 numbers or area codes The factory setting is: Global Invite of any call with a

valid number displayed. Invited callers cannot 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 or area codes 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. 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 TEL 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 and a busy signal will be heard in the handset of the phone in the TEL phone port.

Invited Callers within a Blocked Area Code - 10 numbers Up to 10 separate numbers within an

area code can be allowed to ring through when the entire area code is already blocked. Example: phone

number 800-555-1212 is invited to ring through but the rest of the area code 800 is 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 types of calls.

Call Waiting Caller ID – When on the phone, and you hear the Call Waiting signal, callers on your

Blocked list will not be blocked because you are on the phone line. Blocked callers only hear ringing and

you will see who is calling on your phone’s display, but not on the Call Blocker’s display. You can

however, answer invited callers that ring-in through Call Waiting using your Flash key or Switch Hook.

First Ring Suppression™ – Caller ID Pass Thru Mode (Code 70)

When a call comes in, the phone company’s Caller ID information will display on all phones connected

to the telephone line but the Call Blocker will suppress the first ring to the TEL phone port to

prevent it from ringing and receiving Caller ID. If the caller is an Invited caller then the Caller ID

information will display on the next ring to the phones connected to the TEL phone port thereafter. This

stops unwanted Caller ID information from being received by the phones connected to the Call Blocker’s

TEL phone port. If you want to hear the first ring, enter 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 71. This code will allow all rings and all Caller ID information to be received by

phones connected to the TEL phone port. To return to the (default) First Ring Suppression mode, enter

programming: when the prompt for “Enter Code” displays enter 70, display shows function.
