Smart call blocker*
If you have subscribed to caller ID service,
then you can use Smart call blocker to
filter robocalls, telemarketing calls and
unwanted calls, while allowing welcome
calls to get through.
You can set up your lists of welcome callers
and unwelcome callers. Smart call blocker
allows calls from your welcome callers to
get through, and it blocks calls from your
unwelcome callers. Such lists, including the
phonebook, block list, allow list, and star
name list, are all shared by both line 1 and
line 2.
For other unknown calls, you can allow
these calls, block these calls, or forward
these calls to the answering system.
With some easy configurations, you can set
to only filter robocalls by asking the callers
to press the pound key (#) before the calls
are put through to you.
You can also set Smart call blocker to
screen incoming calls by asking the callers
to record their names and press the
pound key (#). After your caller completes
the request, your telephone rings and
announces the caller’s name. You can then
choose to block or answer the call, or
you can forward the call to the answering
system. If the caller does not respond or
record his/her name, the call is blocked
from ringing through. When you add your
welcome callers to your allow list, they will
bypass all screening and ring directly to
your handsets.

• Smart call blocker is on, once you install your
telephone. It allows all incoming calls to get
through and ring by default. You can change
the Smart call blocker settings for line 1 or
line 2 individually to screen incoming calls.
For more details, see Control calls without
numbers and Control uncategorized calls.
• With call screening active, Smart call blocker
screens and filters all incoming calls from
numbers or names that are not yet saved
in your phonebook, 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.
• The Smart call blocker settings for line
1 and line 2 are independent, and can
be configured separately, while your
phonebook, allow list, block list, and star
name list are all shared between both lines.
• To turn off Smart call blocker, see Set Smart
call blocker on/off.
