The best way to stop unwanted calls, is to know who’s at the other end of the
phone before you decide if you want to take it.
You need Caller Display
This will help you get the most out of your Telstra Call Guardian.You can get
this from your phone service provider.
Your Telstra Call Guardian 301 has four Guardian modes that allow you to
easily manage calls in different ways:
• Announce (All calls not in your Contacts, Allow numbers, Speed dial numbers or
VIP list must say their name)
• International (All calls from International numbers must announce their name.
All other calls, except those on your blocked list hear the call block message
and all other calls come straight through)
• Ans. phone (All calls not in your Contacts, Allow numbers, Speed dial numbers
or VIP list are sent straight to the Answer Phone)
• Custom (You choose how you’d like to handle all of your calls)
In Announce mode (default setting), the Telstra Call Guardian 301 will lter all
rst time calls from numbers that are not yet saved in your Contacts, or already
on your allowed list. By doing this, you gradually build up these lists and your
phone will know how to deal with the call the next time it comes in.
