About 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 for
you, 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.
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 unknown 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.
Notes:
Smart call blocker is on and in default screening mode, once you install your telephone. It will
f f
screen all incoming calls and asks callers to announce their names. We recommend that you set up
your directory, allow list, and star name list before using your telephone with Smart call blocker.
This can avoid calls from your business associates, family members and friends to go through the
screening process. See Directory on page 48, Allow list on page 80 and Star name list on
page 85.
With call screening active, Smart call blocker screens and filters all incoming calls from numbers or
f f
names that are not yet 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.
To turn off Smart call blocker, see Set Smart call blocker on/off on page 72.
