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:

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 cost must be 10-digits. When required, a caller enters the code followed by the # key.

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.

The announcement explains you do not accept unidentified calls and that their Caller ID information was not received. They are instructed to do one of the following:

• Press 1 to enter an access code.
• Press 2 to record their name so that the call can be announced.

If they enter anything other than the menu options, they will be prompted two more times to enter a valid menu option. If they do not select a valid option in the allowed time, the call is dropped.

If a caller presses 1, they are asked to enter an access code, which can be either the Access Code or one of the codes in the Selective Call List, followed by the # key. A prompt tells them to wait while the call is completed.

If an invalid access code is entered, the caller will be prompted two more times to enter a valid access code. If they do not enter a valid access in the allowed time, the call is dropped.

If a caller presses 2, they are asked to record either their name or their company name and press the # key. After playing the beep, the system will record up to 5 seconds.

When the user presses # or the recording time ends, a prompt tells them to wait while the call is completed.

The system records whatever is spoken during the 5 seconds, which can be either the caller’s name or silence. If the caller does not record a name, no name will be spoken when you answer the call.

Once a caller has entered an access code or recorded their name, the call will ring on your phone. If you have a display and receive caller ID information, you will see “ From Privacy Guard” on the display. If the caller entered an access code, the access code digits will be displayed also.

If the caller entered an access code, your telephone rings normally and you are connected to the caller when you answer the call.

If the caller recorded their name, your telephone rings with a priority ring. When you answer the call, a prompt is played that announces the call and offering the
following options:

• Press 1 to answer the call.
• Press 2 to play an announcement to the caller that you are unavailable.
• Press 3 to transfer the caller to voice mail.
  NOTE: This option will be available if you have a voice mail button on your telephone for your voice mail mailbox or for another voice mail mailbox, such as the main number (attendant phone) or another person’s mailbox (executive assistant phone). However, if you do not have your own mailbox and choose this option, you will get reorder (fast busy). If you do not have a voice mail button on your phone, this option is not available.
• Press 4 to deliver a message that you do not accept sales or soliciation calls and you are not to be called again.
