Add a screened number to the block list or allow list
If you have set the telephone to screen uncategorized home calls, the telephone
plays a screening announcement to the caller, and asks the caller to respond before
the call rings through to you. After the caller responds, the telephone rings and you
can then pick up the call. The telephone then asks whether you want to answer
or reject the call, or to forward the call to the answering system. The telephone
announces "To answer the call, press 1. To answer and always allow this number, press
2. To block this number, press 3. To send this call to the answering system, press 4. To
repeat these options, press *".
You can add a screened number to the block list or to the allow list.
