From the Manual Using Special Features Silent Mode You can silence the ringers on the base and all handsets for a specific period of time: the answering system answers any incoming calls without playing anything through the speaker. 1. With the phone in standby, press and hole # on any handset. The phone prompts you to select the number of hours (1-9 or Always On0 that you want it to stay in silent mode. 2. To confirm, press # or just wait about 5 Seconds. The phone turns on the answering system and displays Silent Mode On each handset. 3. After the selected number of hours, the phone automatically exits silent mode. To exit silent mode manually, press and hold # again. If the phone is in silent mode and you turn off the answering system, the phone exits silent mode.

The ringer can be adjusted from very soft to very loud. Have not found a way to shut off ringer and instructions do not specify. A very nice phone.

Yes! It can be silenced. My husband did this, so I can't give you the step-by-step, but it comes with instructions and isn't too complicated.

Not a dumb question at all. I can hear the ringer, I just can't talk on it without the headphones plugged in. I like the feel of the headphones on my ear but there is always some hissing noise that I didn't have on my last phone.
