Screen uncategorized calls
If Smart If Smart call blocker is on, and your
telephone is set to screen uncategorized
calls, the telephone will not ring when
receiving the following incoming calls:
• Incoming calls with absent caller ID
numbers;
• Incoming calls with numbers that are not
in your phonebook, allow list, nor block
list; or
• Incoming calls with names that are not in
your star name list.
The telephone plays a screening

caller to respond before putting the call
through to you. There are two screening

the pound key (#). Alternatively, you can
screen these calls by only asking the callers
