Screening your telephone calls
There are several ways to screen your calls. You can
prevent your telephone from ringing for certain calls, or
specify a special ring for certain calls so you can more
easily identify them.
Regardless of the method you choose, it is highly
recommended that you enable the Suppress First Ring
option. For information about this option, refer to
About
the Suppress First Ring option
on page 313.
