Enhanced Call Block; Automated Call Block - Panasonic KX-TGF973 Operating Instructions Manual

Enhanced Call Block

Automated call block

With automated call block, the unit screens
incoming calls before ringing for allowed calls,
or ends the calls without ringing for calls
identified as robocalls, telemarketing calls, or
other undesirable calls (Caller ID subscribers
only).
The unit will play the greeting message for
automated call block and prompt the caller to
enter an access code in order for the unit to
identify whether the call is automated.
You can set the unit to block or unblock mode.
The default setting is "Unblock".
Note:
R The unit connects the call without
prompting to enter the access code in the
following situations:
– the caller's phone number matches an
entry in the phonebook (page 47).
– the caller's name matches an entry in
the allow name list (page 43).
– the caller's phone number is memorized
in the allowed number database
(page 42).
R If you have your cell phone connected via
Link to Cell, even if automated call block is
set to "Block", incoming cellular calls will
still be connected automatically without
requiring the access code.
R If the number is stored in the call block list
(page 38), the unit disconnects the call
without playing the greeting message for
automated call block.
R The automated call block feature is not
available:
– when a landline call is being received
during a cellular call with base unit.
– during power backup operation
(page 29).
R When the answering system answers a call
from a caller who is not registered in the
phonebook, allow name list, or allowed
number database, the following operations
are delayed:
– answering a call
– remote turn on
– toll saver
R When the unit receives a call from a caller
who is not registered in the phonebook,

allow name list, or allowed number
database in the following situations, the unit
shifts to standby mode:
– when searching the phonebook, caller
list, call block list, or allow name list
– when programming (depending on
settings)
– when using the answering system
– when paging all handsets or base unit
R Blocked calls are logged in the caller list.
We recommend you to check the caller list
periodically. If necessary, register the entry
to the phonebook or allow name list to
connect the call next time.
Allowed number database
Once the caller enters the access code, the
caller's phone number is memorized in the
allowed number database as an unblocked
number. Callers from this database are
allowed to connect without the access code
from their next call.
100 entries can be stored to the database (22
digits max. each).
Note:
R When the database memory is full, the
latest call received will replace the oldest
number stored in the list.
R The numbers stored in the database will be
erased when you change the access code
(page 43).
R The numbers stored in the database cannot
be displayed.
