Special Information Tone
To receive fewer telemarketing calls, you can have Tel-Lynx play a three-tone
sequence called a special information tone (SIT) before the greeting for new and
unknown callers. The SIT is
SIT will cause some automated calling machines to hang up and remove your
phone number from their calling database.
Note: Callers whose phone number is in the Tel-Lynx phone book or new call
list will not hear the SIT even when enabled.
Recording Names for Outside Lines
When Tel-Lynx announces a call, it will announce the caller's name, who the call
is for, and the outside line they called in on. To record the name an outside line,

Manage the Names of the Outside
Calling Tables
When placing a call, Tel-Lynx selects an outside line using a set of calling tables.
Tel-Lynx will either use one of five shared calling tables based on the type of call
(local, toll-free, toll, international, premium, or emergency) or a calling table
specific to the contact you are calling.
Note: If the contact you're calling has its own calling table, it will override the
shared calling tables. For instance, if you and one of your contacts are on the
same mobile phone provider plan, and mobile-to-mobile calls are free, you
could set up a calling table for this contact so that calls to them are placed
through your mobile phone.
Note: Phone book contacts are created with no assigned calling table. When
editing a contact, you can assign a calling table as a separate operation.
A calling table contains an ordered list of outside lines that Tel-Lynx will use
when placing a call.
All of the shared calling tables (except the emergency table and premium table)
are pre-programmed to try outside line 1 (landline) first, followed by outside line 2
(second landline
17
or Skype™), and then outside line 3 and outside line 4
phones). The emergency calling table is pre-programmed to try the landline
first, followed by mobile phones, and finally Skype™. (See
Service.) The premium table is pre-programmed with no outside lines so
premium calls cannot be placed.
You can set each calling table to suit your needs. For instance, to allow calls to
premium numbers on your landline, set the premium calling table to use the
17
Second landline only available on TLC Plus.
