Can the ringer be turned off? I want to put this phone in a room where my baby takes her nap and do not want it to ring and wake her up.

I had this phone in a much more expensive model and the ringer would not turn off. It continued to ring at top level despite selecting off or a lower volume.Unable to return it I had to donate it. Now looking for a very inexpensive replacement as a back up phone.

Yes, you can turn ringer off by (1) pressing the menu button until "Ringer" is displayed on the screen, (2) pressing the up/down arrows until "Ringer Volume" is displayed, (3) pressing menu/select button and then pressing up/down arrow keys until "Volume Off" is displayed and (4) pressing the off button to get out of menu mode.

yes. You can turn off any of the ringers or all of them and calls will go to the answering machine.

Laci and Marjorie are correct. Base ringer is controlled separately.Since I have a handset charging on it all the time, I chose to just set silent mode on the base permanently.

Yes........on the back of the phone there are two switches. One is to turn the ringer off, and the other one is to control the ringer volume.

Yes, there is a switch for Ringer to set at Off, Low or High setting unless you got a different model than that of mine. The switch is located on the right side of the cradle.

no The phone is equipped with a ringer control switch. You can adjust level of ring or shut the ringer off if you prefer.

I think there are several to choose from - all fairly obnoxious - none "cute". Be aware that the ring and ring volume cannot be set for each handset. You also can't turn the ring off on one handset and leave it on others. You can however, set a different ring for incomming forwarded cell calls.

Actually, yes! I have the product manual in front of me. The default setting plays the incoming messages over the base speaker, but you can turn that off by turning off Call Screen in the settings menu. (It will still record messages, just not play them out loud.) Another way to achieve this is to turn on Silent Mode, which also turns off the ringer. A nice feature is you can set Silent Mode indefinitely or for 1-9 hours, so if you're having a party you won't have to remember to turn the ringer back on later.

Yes, you can adjust the ringer volume in addition to putting it in "Silent Mode".

nc - Yes! Ringer can be turned off; answering system can be turned off. Base and handset have independent ringers, btw.

Go to Menu then Initial Settings then Ringer Settings press Select then Ringer Volume press the up arrow and Select Silent Mode for the phones you do not want to ring. Hope this helps.

So far, I have not found an "off" button but I haven't read the entire manual. There is a mute button. The volume of the ring can be turned way down or up to super loud. When I turned down the volume of the ringer, it was very quiet.

Here is a link to the instruction book: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CFIQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn-media-att.vtp-media.com%2Fecp%2Fdocuments%2Fproduct_Product%2F127%2FUserManual%2F5981%2Fcl82209_manual_USA_i6.pdf&ei=O7uGUv3dMqn92QX1zIGYCg&usg=AFQjCNEcwn65j-goSfSPCjrkcN01D_8B7A&sig2=qcHDr0rIxkPOiG4boXchEQ&bvm=bv.56643336,d.b2I It opens as a .pdf. On pg. 20 (.pdf pg. 25), there are instructions for silencing the ringer when a call is coming in. It only stops the ringer on the handset you are holding for that one incoming call, but does not disconnect the call. It keeps ringing on the other handsets and the larger base. The next call that comes in after that will still ring on that handset. The larger telephone base also rings whether there is a phone on it or not. The smaller bases do not ring. The phone handsets all ring, and I see no way to turn of the ringer permanently - only for that one call coming in. The base ringer can be louder, softer, or silenced altogether (pg. 40 instructions, pg 45 of the .pdf). I think being able to silence the handsets would be nice, especially if you want to keep the phone in the room but don't want it to ring. If, for example, you want to sleep in a bedroom and there is a small base in that room, you can keep the small base, but you would have to put the actual phone in a place in the house where the ringer would not awaken you. I hope this helps.

The model I have which is very similar to this model does have a ringer switch that can be switched off.

yes you can. What you can't easily do is to turn off the ringer if you are trying not to answer the phone call.

Yes BUT I didn't like that I had to press so many buttons on the menu to do so....I used to have a phone that had an external volume for the ringer, so it was easy to turn it on or off just by touch....now I can't find that kind of phone anymore
