Smart call blocker
Screen calls without numbers
If Smart call blocker is on, and your telephone is set to screen
calls without number, the telephone will not ring when
receiving incoming calls that are “out of area“ or with numbers
set to “Private“. It plays a screening announcement to the
caller and asks the caller to respond before putting the call
through to you.
The telephone has two screening options. You can set your
Smart call blocker to screen these calls by asking the callers
to record their names and then press the pound key (#).
Alternatively, you can screen these calls by only asking the
callers to press the pound key (#).
Screen calls without numbers and ask for caller names (default screening
mode)

caller completes the request, the telephone announces to the caller “Please
wait a moment while your call is connected.”. The telephone starts ringing and
announces the caller’s name. The telephone screen displays Screened call
and you can pick up the call. The telephone will then ask whether you want to
answer or reject the call, or to forward the call to the answering system.

recorded messages, for example, robocalls and telemarketing calls.
Notes:
f Screening and asking for caller name is the default setting for calls without numbers. To change the setting, see Control
calls without numbers on page 80.
f In default screening mode, Smart call blocker screens and filters all incoming calls from numbers or names that are not
yet saved in your directory, allow list, block list, or star name list. You can easily add incoming phone numbers to your
allow list and block list. This allows you to build up your lists of allowed and blocked numbers, and Smart call blocker will
know how to deal with these calls when they come in again.
f The telephone announces to the caller with “Hello. Calls to this number are being screened by Smart call blocker...” If
you have recorded your name in the screening announcements, your recorded name will replace “this number” in the
announcements. See Screening announcement on page 91.
f If the caller hangs up before the call is screened, or without leaving his/her name while the call is being screened, the call
will be logged as missed call in the caller ID log.
f While a call is being screened, you can press or /SPEAKER to stop screening and answer the
call.
