BT Call Guardian

You need Caller Display

This will help you get the most out of your BT Call Guardian. You can get this 

from your phone service provider. Charges may apply.

Your BT8600 has four Guardian modes that allow you to easily manage 

incoming calls in different ways:

• 

Announce

 – All calls not in your Contacts, Allow or VIP list must say their name. 

Those on your Blocked list hear, “Calls to this number are being screened 

by BT Call Guardian, the person you are calling is not accepting your call. 

Please hang up”.

• 

International

 – All calls from International numbers must announce their 

name. All other calls come straight through, except those already on the 

block list, who will hear the message above.

• 

Ans Phone

 – All calls not in your Contacts, Allowed or VIP list are sent straight 

to the Answer Phone including those on your Blocked list.

• 

Custom

 – You choose how you’d like to handle all of your calls.

In 

Announce mode

 (default setting), the BT8600 will filter all first time calls 

from numbers that are not yet saved in your Contacts, or already on your 

allowed list. By doing this, you gradually build up these lists and your phone 

will know how to deal with the call the next time it comes in.
