Privacy Guard
Privacy Guard is a call screening service that works with Caller ID to identify all
incoming calls that have no Caller ID, such as calls that are Anonymous,
Unavailable, Out-of-Area, or Private. It forces callers to identify themselves by
entering an access code or recording their name in order to complete the call. You
will know who is calling and have four options for handling the call.
Access Codes
Privacy Guard provides the ability to create two kinds of access codes that you can
give to family members, friends or business associates to allow them to identify
themselves if they call and their caller ID is not available. You decide who gets
which code.
For phones with a display, access codes are shown on the display as shown:
Privacy Guard (<access code>)
The Access Code is a 3-digit code that, when required, is entered followed by the
# key. There is only one Access Code.
The Selective Caller List is a list of up to ten codes. Each code must be 10-digits.
When required, a caller enters the code followed by the # key.
NOTE: When creating the codes for the Selective Caller List, you want codes that are
easy for the caller to remember and use. If the code will be used for an individual,
you might want to use the phone number most commonly used by that person. If it
is for a group of people or a business, use a number that will be easy for them to
use and you to recognize, such as a main business number.
Caller Actions
When Privacy Guard is enabled, calls that do not have any Caller ID information
are automatically answered and the caller hears an announcement followed by a
series of prompts.
