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, 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 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 directory or allow list, their calls will bypass all screening and ring directly
to your handsets.
NOTES:
Smart call blocker is on, once you install your telephone. It allows all incoming calls to get through and ring by
f
default. You can change the Smart call blocker settings to screen incoming calls. For more details, see Set profile
(page 48).
With call screening active, Smart call blocker screens and filters all incoming calls from numbers or names that are
f
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 48.
