Programming Numbers - Invited, VIP and Blocked
Global Invite (Factory Default) Invites all callers who display a valid phone number
You can invite all callers who display a phone number and yet block a single number or area code. This
one command will allow all Invited callers who display a phone number to ring through to the TEL phone

Program Button. Press and hold the Program Button for 3 seconds until you see "Program Mode", then
"Pick Up Phone", when the prompt for "Enter Code" displays enter 96 # *, display shows function. All
callers in this list are considered Invited, but not VIP callers who are in a separate list.
Inviting Individual Callers
You can program in individual callers like family, friends and business associates, who can ring through
during normal hours, but not during After Hours Mode by using the Program Button on the front panel.
Note that all callers with valid phone numbers are normally invited, so you don't need to invite callers one
at a time. If you are using the Global Block Method Code 97#*, then this feature is useful for inviting
callers that would otherwise be blocked. To enable this feature, press and hold the Program Button for
3 seconds until you see "Program Mode", then "Pick Up Phone", when the prompt for "Enter Code"
displays enter 50 to store a full number, minimum 7 digits to 16 digits in length followed by the * key.
Example for an Invited number enter: 50, 602 555 1212 *. Store up to 50 numbers or area codes.

Program Button for 3 seconds until you see "Program Mode", then "Pick Up Phone", when the prompt
for "Enter Code" displays enter 60 to store a full number, minimum 7 digits to 16 digits in length followed
by the * key.
Example for a VIP number enter: 60, 602 555 1212 * or for a VIP area code enter: 60,
