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.
32 System Telephone Features Sipura SPA-841 Telephone User Guide
620-05600270
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.
HINT:
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.
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.
Entering an Access Code
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.
Recording a Name
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.
Sipura SPA-841 Telephone User Guide System Telephone Features 33 620-05600270

Answering Privacy Guard 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:

calls and you are not to be called again.
If you enter anything other than the available menu options, you will be prompted two more times to enter a valid menu option. If you do not select a valid option in the allowed time or if you hang up without making a choice, the system plays the announcement that you are unavailable and disconnects the call.

Enabling/Disabling Privacy Guard

The T6000 system allows you to turn the Privacy Guard feature on and off (i.e., decide when calls without Caller ID information will be screened). Disabling (turning off) the feature does not delete any access codes already entered for the feature.
