Automated call block
With automated call block, the unit screens incoming calls before ringing for allowed calls, or ends the
calls without ringing for calls identified as robocalls, telemarketing calls, or other undesirable calls (Caller
ID subscribers only).
The unit will play the greeting message for automated call block and prompt the caller to enter an access
code in order for 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 the access code in the following situations:
– the caller’s phone number matches an entry in the phonebook (page 31).
– the caller’s name matches an entry in the allow name list (page 28).
– the caller’s phone number is memorized in the allowed number database (page 27).
R
If you have your cell phone connected via Link to Cell, even if automated call block is set to
“
Block
”
,
incoming cellular calls will still be connected automatically without requiring the access code.
R
If the number is stored in the call block list (page 24), the unit disconnects the call without playing the
greeting message for automated call block.
R
The automated call block feature is not available:
– when a landline call is being received during a cellular call.
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
– toll saver
R
When the unit receives a call from a caller who is not registered in the phonebook, allow name list, or
allow 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 or base unit
R
Blocked calls are logged in the caller list. We recommend you to 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 memorized 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 28).
R
The numbers stored in the database cannot be displayed.
