  2. Under “When I receive a call:”
    • Select Use my rules, and select the rule type: Normal, Reject Calls or Screen Calls.
    • Select the link for set up new rules to create a new rule on the Rules tab.
  3. Click Apply to save your changes.

  2. Click the link in the sentence: “To begin start with an example set of rules.”
