3. Operating Instructions
The CPR Call Blocker Shield operates primarily by blocking calls from its pre-programmed database and allowing manual blocking of additional numbers.

To block an unwanted number that is currently calling or has just called:
- During an Incoming Call: If you receive an unwanted call, press the large red "BLOCK NOW" button on the device. The call will be disconnected, and the number will be added to your personal block list.
- After a Call: If you wish to block the last incoming number, simply press the "BLOCK NOW" button after the call has ended. The last number will be added to your block list.
The device can store up to 1500 additional numbers on your personal block list.
