Notes:
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 63
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.
f If Smart call blocker is on and you receive a call waiting call:
- Smart call blocker will not screen a call waiting call without number while on a call. You can press
or
/SPEAKER to take the new call.
- After you have picked up a screened call, the telephone checks whether the call waiting number is in the directory, block list
or allow list. It also checks whether the caller name is in the star name list. After that, The telephone then displays the caller
ID information or “Blocked call” accordingly. You can press
or /SPEAKER to take the new call, or
press CALL BLOCK on the handset to block it.
- While the telephone is screening a call, the new call will be ignored and logged as missed call in the caller ID log.
f Robocalls are unable to respond to the screening announcement, and therefore, will not get through and ring. If you want to
allow some robocalls to get through, save their names in the star name list. See page 60.
f The telephone can respond to remote access code while it is playing the screening announcement. This allows you to access
your answering system from an unknown number remotely. See Remote access on page 88.
