Screen unknown calls

If Smart call blocker is on, and you have set profile
to screen unknown calls, the telephone plays
a screening announcement to the caller when
receiving the following incoming calls. It asks the
caller to respond before putting the call through to
you.
Incoming calls with numbers that are "out of
f
area" or with numbers set to "Private";
Incoming calls with absent caller ID numbers;
f
Incoming calls with numbers that are not in your
f
directory, allow list, nor block list; or
Incoming calls with names that are not in your
f
star name list.
Screen calls and ask for caller names
When screening a call, the telephone announces
to the caller, "Hello. Calls to this number are being
screened by Smart call blocker. Please say your
name after the tone, then press pound." After the caller completes
the request, the telephone announces to the caller "Please wait a
moment while your call is connected.". The telephone starts ringing
and announces the caller's name. The telephone screen displays
Screened call and you can pick up the call. The telephone will then
ask whether you want to answer or reject the call, or to forward the
call to the answering system.
Notes:
You can set Smart call blocker to screen and filter all unknown calls. You can easily add incoming
f
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.
The telephone announces to the caller with "Hello. Calls to this number are being screened by
f
Smart call blocker..." If you have recorded your name in the screening announcements, your record-
ed name will replace "this number" in the announcements. See Screening announcement on page
93.
If the caller hangs up before the call is screened, or without leaving his/her name while the call is
f
being screened, the call will be logged as missed call in the caller ID log.
While a call is being screened, you can press
f
screening and answer the call.
