Call Waiting Caller ID

When you’re on the phone, Call Waiting with Caller ID notifies you with a tone that a second call ison the line and displays the caller’s name and/or phone number.

• Activate Call Waiting with Caller ID by pressing * 6 5 .
• Deactivate Call Waiting with Caller ID by pressing * 8 5 .

Caller ID

You’ll use this popular feature before answering virtually every call you receive. It identifies thein coming caller’s name and phone number while the phone is ringing. This provides a log of every phone number trying to reach your business.

2. Your Caller ID automatically reactivates after you finish your outgoing call and hang up - so you must repeat step 1 every time you want to block your Caller ID (withhold your number) on other calls.

NOTE: The LFT Fiber system will override blocking on your outgoing Caller ID if an emergency number (such as 911) is called. If the system identifies a number as an emergency call, the calling number is always delivered.

NOTE: If you subscribe to the Caller ID feature, your phone must have a display screen to utilize Caller ID.

• Activate by pressing *341
• Deactivate by pressing *351

Privacy Defender

This safeguard system provides an extra level of privacy from unwanted calls. Whenever someone calls you from an anonymous number, Privacy Defender does not put the call through to you directly. Instead, the caller hears an announcement explaining that you do not accept unidentified calls, and is asked to say his or her name so that it can be recorded.

• To control Privacy Defender, dial the Privacy Defender access number, 337-534-0073.
• Privacy Defender first checks your telephone number to ensure that you are subscribed to the service. If you hear a message saying you aren't subscribed to Privacy Defender, call LFT Fiber at 99-FIBER (993-4237) to subscribe to the Privacy Defender service.
• If you are subscribed to Privacy Defender, you'll hear a message telling you whether the service is turned on or off, and how to use the keys on your telephone to control it.

• You'll then hear a message to confirm your latest update of the system.
• When Privacy Defender is turned off, it transfers all calls to your business, whether or not they are from anonymous numbers.

Manage the Bypass Code

The bypass code allows important calls to get through, even when Privacy Defender is active. You can specify a personal bypass code that overrides Privacy Defender, which you can give to people from whom you are happy to accept calls. Instead of recording a name, someone who know this code can simply press the * key followed by this code (a three-digit number) to be put through to your phone.

• To change your bypass or code, or to clear it, press 2 on the Main menu.
• You'll hear a message stating your current code (if you have one) and giving you another menu of options for managing it. After using any of these options, you're returned to the Privacy Defender menu.
• Set a new bypass code by pressing 1. Then key in the new three-digit bypass code you've chosen.
• To leave the previous bypass code unchanged, press *9, then wait to hear a confirmation before pressing any other keys. (You can use *9 as the first digit of your new bypass code, but you must key in the other two digits of the code immediately after the *9 without pausing.)
• To clear the bypass code so that callers can't bypass Privacy Defender, press 2.
• To return to the Privacy Defender menu without changing the bypass code, press *9.The previous bypass code is left unchanged.

NOTE: If you set a new bypass code, remember to give the new code to any callers who need to bypass Privacy Defender. They will need to press * followed by the new code when they hear the Privacy Defender prompt. If you clear the bypass code, callers will not be able to bypass Privacy Defender until you set a new code.

If you have any services configured that can reject calls (for example, Do Not Disturb or Selective Call Rejection), Privacy Defender will not attempt to connect any call that would otherwise be rejected by these services. After recording a name or using the bypass code, the caller will be informed in the usual way that you cannot accept the call.

Exit Privacy Defender

Exit Privacy Defender by pressing *9 when you hear the Main menu (before or after using other options) or hanging up.
