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 53.
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 80.
