Can you mute the phone so it does not ring and you cannot hear the caller but the message will still record?

Yes if you have a separate answering machine or voice mail service which automatically picks up after a designated number of rings (even though you don't hear them). This phone does not have an integral answering machine

Very simple, press menu, go to initial setting, press select, go to ringer setting, press select, then press 0 thru 7 for volume. Pressing 0 mutes the phone, (no tone or ringer.) This can be done on all phones.

Yes you can as long as you dont have your setting on to where if you turn it over or cover it it mutes your phone.

In the handset configuration menu, there is an option to set the ringer volume. It can be completely turned off. Also, the system has a programmable silent mode, where you can tell the phone not to ring during certain times. I have not experimented with that, so I don't know how flexible it is. Hopefully this helps. And when you have a moment, check my books (by Ward Wagher) on sale through Amazon.

Yes you can. Go into the Caller ID menu, there is a "talking caller ID" selection which can be turned off byscrolling to off and then hitting "save".

You cannot hear your message but you can hear the caller if the phone is set for call screening. Hope this helps. Amelia

Yes. It only shows up when you are already speaking on the phone and it is one of the "soft" buttons - i.e. it shows on the display and you press the bar underneath it to mute or unmute. I hope this helps.

YES you can - the phone has a snap-stage slide button on the side. It does go to silent.

I've never used a mute function on the phone. There are buttons to increase and decrease volume, but I don't imagine they are intended to mute the phone. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

No, you'll have to mute it via Windows or directly in the software (like skype).

You can call in from an outside phone and listen to messages but not monitor sounds, to my knowledge. The only way it picks up sounds is when you record a greeting.

I don't think that it has an actual designated mute button but there may be a way of muting by hitting the call waiting button on this additional handset or int. on the base unit of the original unit to which you are adding this one. You might check with Panasonic technical on this as I don't want to mislead anyone. When you get an official answer, would you enlighten me please?

You can't place a call on Mute with this headset. If you hit the Play/Pause button, it answers/ends a call. Swapping calls, or putting calls on hold, requires using your phone.

yes you can turn off each phone seperately or not. Each also can have their own call tone. No you don't have to hear the recorded message. you can hear or not hear the incoming call.

There is a mute button on the base and you can mute a conversation from the phone as well.

On the hearing portion look on the side of your volume control there is a button that slides up and down that button is the mute and unmute button when it is slid up its unmuted so they should here you if its slid down then your muted and they can't here you. As far as phone ringing on the side of the keypad make sure thr ringer switch is switched to in and the volume is up.
