Automated call block
Automated call block means the unit screens
incoming calls before ringing. If the call is
allowed, the unit will ring. If the call is identified
as an automated/telemarketing call, the unit
will not ring.
The unit will play a greeting message to the
caller and prompt them to enter an access
code.
This enables 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 access code in the
following situations:
– the caller’s phone number matches an
entry in the phonebook (page 28).
– the caller’s name matches an entry in
the allow name list (page 26).
– the caller’s phone number is memorised
in the allowed number database
(page 25).
R
If the number is stored in the call block list
(page 23), the unit disconnects the call
without playing the greeting message for
automated call block.
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
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
R
Blocked calls are logged in the caller list.
We recommend that you 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 memorised 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 25).
R
The numbers stored in the database cannot
be displayed.
R
The call block indicator flashes when the
unit receives a call from the number stored
in the allowed number database.

We recommend you perform a test run of
the automated call block procedure to
ensure that the automated call block
feature is set correctly.
Changing the access code
If the unit answers undesirable calls such as
automated calls even though the automated
call block function is on, change the access
code (3 digits max.). The default setting is
