Q. I HAVE A PERSONAL PANIC ALARM. WILL THE CPR CALL BLOCKER AFFECT THIS?
A. No, it won’t. We have contacted all the major suppliers of these panic alarm devices and all suppliers have said that it should be compatible. All they would request is that when you purchase one, you give them a call
to advise them that you are connecting a call blocker together with it.
Q. CAN I MANUALLY CONFIGURE THE CPR CALL BLOCKER?
A. Yes, you can manually program the CPR Call Blocker if you wish, but the unique CPR ‘BLOCK NOW’ button is the easiest way of blocking an unwanted number.
Q. DOES THE CPR CALL BLOCKER WORK WITH ANSWERING MACHINES?
A. Yes, the CPR Call Blocker shouldn’t interfere with the functionality of answering machines, but if it does, it’s just a case of altering the amount of rings required for the answer machine to kick in. We recommend
setting your answer machine to 5 rings or slightly lower.
Q. CAN I USE THE CPR CALL BLOCKER IN MY OFFICE?
A. It doesn't work direct on Digital PBX Hybrid switchboard systems, but it will work on those systems with an analogue handset plugged into the call group - email us for more information regarding this.
Q. CAN I USE THE CPR CALL BLOCKER WITH EXTENSION TELEPHONE SOCKETS?
A. Yes, you can but many problems can arise so it isn't recommended. If you wish to have multiple phones around the house, then it's best to use a DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telephone) phone with multiple cordless
handsets connected to the main base station at the main master socket.
Q. I HAVE FRIENDS AND RELATIVES OVERSEAS. WILL THE CPR CALL BLOCKER BLOCK THEIR CALLS?
A. No, they will only get blocked if you manually program the unit to block all INTERNATIONAL calls.

Q. HOW MANY NUMBERS CAN THE CPR CALL BLOCKER BLOCK?
A. Depending on which version, the Call Blocker can have up to 10,000 numbers pre-programmed and the ability to block a further 2000 numbers.
Q. THE CPR CALL BLOCKER SEEMS TO BE BLOCKING ALL CALLS. WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM?
A. This is most likely down to no caller ID on your line or intermittent caller ID which is usually caused by a faulty/poor quality ADSL micro-filter. Remove the micro-filter to see if this fixes the issue and replace it
if necessary with a top quality ADSL microfilter. This problem can also be down to having too many devices attached to your line, so try disconnecting the extra equipment to see if that also resolves the issue.
Q. WILL THE CPR CALL BLOCKER WORK WITH MY BROADBAND LINE?
A. Yes, the CPR Call Blocker will work perfectly fine alongside all types of Broadband connections, including Fibre Optic, Infinity, or ADSL - just unplug your telephone and plug it into the CPR Call Blocker.
