Using Special Features
Using Do Not Disturb (DND)
You can silence the ringers on all handsets for a specific period of
time.
With the phone in standby, press and hold
1)
DND
on the base or
#/DND
on any handset. The phone prompts you to select the
number of hours (1 - 9 or Always On) that you want it to stay in
silent mode.
To confirm, press
2)
DND
on the base or
#/DND
on the handset or
just wait about 5 seconds. The DND backlight on the base turns
on and the phone displays
Do Not Disturb
on the base and on
each handset.
After the selected number of hours, the phone automatically exits
3)
DND mode. To exit DND mode manually, press and hold
DND
on
the base or
#/DND
on the handset again.
Using Call Block
If you subscribe to Caller ID, you can save phone numbers to the call
block list. When a call comes in, the phone compares the received
phone number to the numbers on the call block list. If the phone
number is on the list, the phone replaces the caller's name with
Call
Blocked
and disconnects the call. (The caller hears a reject guidance.)
The call block list holds 20 entries, and all stations share the same
list. You can add entries through the
Call Blocking
menu, from the CID
list, or by blocking incoming calls. (Only one station can edit the call
block list at a time.)
Blocking incoming calls (Base only)
When the phone rings, wait until the display shows the Caller ID
information (usually after the second ring). If you want to block the
call and add this number to the call block list, press
bLOCk
on the
base. When the phone asks you to confirm, press
MENU/SELECT
or
bLOCk
.
blocking an incoming call from an "Unknown" or "private"
number is the same as selecting
Unknown Number
or
Private
Number
from the
Call Blocking
menu.
