System
screens all my
incoming calls.
You may have set Smart
call blocker to screen calls
without numbers and
uncategorized calls. The
telephone asks callers to
announce their names
or press the pound key
(
#
). We recommend
that you add the phone
numbers of your family
members and friends, and
desired businesses to your
Phonebook
(see page
29) or
Allow list
(see
page 35), or add their
names to the
Star name list
(see page 37). This will
avoid Smart call blocker to
screen their calls.
To turn Smart call blocker
off, see
Set Smart call
blocker on/off
on page
35.
While
screening
a call, the
telephone
suddenly stops
screening and
connects to the
call.
Another handset may have
picked up the screening
call.
If you have another
telephone system sharing
the same telephone line,
and someone picks up the
call on the other telephone
system while the screening
is in progress, the screening
process will be terminated
and connect you to the
caller.
My telephone
blocks calls
from someone
I know.
You may have saved the
caller’s number in your
block list. To remove the
number from the block list,
see
Delete a block entry
on
page 40.
Blocking calls
with numbers
saved in my
block list only.
If you want to block calls
with numbers saved in
your block list only, and
allow all other calls to get
through to you, change
the settings to accept
calls without numbers
and uncategorized calls.
See
Control calls without
numbers
on page 41
and
Control uncategorized
calls
on page 42.
Blocking all
unknown calls.
If you want to block
all unknown calls with
numbers that are not in
your directory or allow
list, change the settings to
block calls without numbers
and uncategorized calls.
See
Control calls without
numbers
on page 41
and
Control uncategorized
calls
on page 42.
Forwarding
all unknown
calls to the
answering
system.
If you want to forward
all unknown calls with
numbers that are not in
your directory or allow list
to the answering system,
see
Control calls without
numbers
on page 41
and
Control uncategorized
calls
on page 42 to
change the settings.
The messages
on the
answering
system are
incomplete.
If a caller leaves a very long
message, part of it may be
lost when the answering
system disconnects the call
after the preset recording
time.
If the memory on the
answering system becomes
full during a message, the
answering system stops
recording and disconnects
the call.
If the caller’s voice is very
soft, the answering system
may stop recording and
disconnect the call.
