You may have set Smart
call blocker to screen calls
without numbers and
uncategorized calls. The
telephone asks callers to
announce their names
or press the pound key
(#). We recommend
that you add the phone
numbers of your family
members and friends, and
desired businesses to your
Phonebook (see page
27) or Allow list (see
page 33), or add their
names to the Star name list
(see page 35). This will
avoid Smart call blocker to
screen their calls.
To turn Smart call blocker
off, see Set Smart call
blocker on/off on
page 32.

If you have another
telephone system sharing

and someone picks up the
call on the other telephone
system while the screening
is in progress, the screening
process will be terminated
and connect you to the
caller.
You may have saved the
caller's number in your
block list. To remove the
number from the block list,
see Delete a block entry on
page 37.
If you want to block calls
with numbers saved in
your block list only, and
allow all other calls to get
through to you, change
the settings to accept
calls without numbers
and uncategorized calls.
See Control calls without
