Enhanced Call Block

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 33). ­ the caller’s name matches an entry in the allow name list (page 30). ­ the caller’s phone number is memorized in the allowed number database (page 29).
R If the number is stored in the call block list (page 26), the unit disconnects the call without playing the greeting message for automated call block.
R The automated call block feature is not available during power backup operation (page 22).
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 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 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 29). R The numbers stored in the database cannot be displayed.

Note: R If there is no response from the caller, and
the user does not press any keys in step 2 within 10 seconds, the unit will announce that the call will be disconnected, and disconnects the call.
Note for handset: R While on the charger, the MTELE.BLK.N key
is not available. Lift the handset from the charger to use this feature. R To use this feature, set the Auto talk feature to “Off”.

To use this feature, set the ring count for the voicemail service to more than the number of rings of the one ring scam alert (call your service provider) (page 58). ­ When the caller’s phone number matches an entry in the phonebook (page 33). ­ When you do not subscribe to the caller ID service. ­ When the call is disconnected before receiving caller ID information. R During call waiting, the unit cannot judge whether the 2nd caller is a scam call.

One ring scam alert
The one ring scam alert feature notifies the user when calling back a number that is judged to be a scam call. This can help reduce the risk of calling back expense international numbers. During an incoming call, if the caller disconnects the call after 1 or 2 rings, the call is judged to be a scam call. Depending on the number of rings made before a call is disconnected, a non- malicious call may also be judged as a scam call. The default setting is “1 or 2 rings”.
Note:
R The call will not be judged as a scam call in the following conditions: ­ When a call is answered by pressing M N on the handset or MSP-PHONEN on the base unit (page 18). ­ When a call is screened by pressing MTELE.BLK.N (page 31). ­ When a call is answered with Answer by voice Command (page 24). ­ When a call is blocked with the call block feature (page 26). ­ When automated call block is set to “Block” (page 29). ­ When a call is answered by the answering system. To use this feature, set the ring count for the answering system to more than the number of rings of the one ring scam alert (page 57). ­ When a call is answered by a voicemail service.
