Smart call blocker
68
Screen uncategorized calls
Notes:
f You can set Smart call blocker to screen and filter all uncategorized calls from numbers or names
that are not 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 ¬¶Å¸¸Á¼Áº´ÁÁÂÈÁ¶¸À¸ÁÇ on
page 58.
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 After the telephone screened a call, and is ringing and announcing the caller’s name, you can press
OFF/CANCEL to mute the ringer, or press CALL BLOCK to reject the call directly. The
caller’s number will be added to the block list.
f After you picked up a screened call and the telephone is announcing the screening options, you can
press
OFF/CANCEL to hang up the call. The caller’s number will not be saved to the block list.
f If Smart call blocker is on and you receive a call waiting 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 55.
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 «¸ÀÂǸ
