NOTES
• Smart call blocker is on, once you
install your telephone. It allows all
incoming calls to get through and
ring by default. You can change the
Smart call blocker settings to screen
incoming calls. For more details, see
Set profile.
• With call screening active, Smart call
blocker screens and filters all incoming
home calls from numbers or names
that are not yet saved in your directory,
allow list, block list, or star name list.
You can easily add incoming phone
numbers to your allow list and block
list. This allows you to build up your
lists of allowed and blocked numbers,
and Smart call blocker will know how
to deal with these calls when they
come in again.
• To turn off Smart call blocker, see Set
Smart call blocker on/off.
Call categories
Calls are classified into four categories:
Welcome calls
Welcome calls are calls with telephone
numbers saved in your allow list or
phonebook, and not in your block list.
Welcome calls also include calls with
caller names saved in your star name list.
NOTES
• All incoming calls on your cell lines
will get through and ring, unless the
caller’s numbers are saved in your
block list. If you want to block a cell
call, add the number to the block list.
See Block list.
• There are many organizations
like schools, medical offices, and
pharmacies that use robocalls to
communicate important information
to you. Robocall uses an autodialer to
deliver pre-recorded messages. By
entering the name of the organizations
into the star name list, it ensures these
calls will ring through when you only
know the caller names but not their
numbers.
Unwelcome calls
Unwelcome calls are calls with telephone
numbers saved in your block list, and
you want to block their calls.
Calls without numbers (for home calls
only)
Calls without numbers are calls that are
“out of area“ or with numbers set to
“Private“.
Uncategorized calls (for home calls only)
Uncategorized calls include calls with
absent caller ID number, calls with
numbers that are not in your phonebook,
allow list, or block list, or calls with caller
ID names that are not in your star name
list.
NOTES
• The allow list stores up to 200 entries,
the block list stores up to 1,000
entries, and the star name list stores
up to 10 names.
Call handling

allow all incoming calls by default.
When Smart call blocker is on, the
first ring of all incoming calls will be

home and cell calls ring, including
numbers saved in the block list.
