How to use the Automated call block feature.

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. You must have subscribe to Caller ID through you service provider to use Automated call block.

When a call is received, 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 allowed.

If the number is stored in the call block list, the unit disconnects the call without playing the greeting message for automated call block

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 phone book.
  • The caller's name matches an entry in the allow name list.
  • The caller's phone number is memorized in the allowed number database.

This feature can be turned on or off by setting the unit to block or unblock mode. The default setting is “Unblock” (off).


Automated Call block settings, features and perimeters do vary by model, select your model from the list below for specific information on your model. If your model is not listed and for all information on a model refer to your models Operating Manual.


Models KX-TG3833, KX-TG3844, KX-TG3845


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

  • When the database memory is full, the latest call received will replace the oldest number stored in the list.
  • The numbers stored in the database will be erased when you change the access code.
  • The numbers stored in the database cannot be displayed.
