On the base unit, theres a button that reads "ANS ON". Press the button to toggle answering system on or off. This is also possible to set through the handset menu. Full manual is here: http://cdn-media.vtechphones.com/media/p/document2/products/%7B85109243-9E3A-46B8-B28C-915F427C951F%7D/DS6671-3__CUM_1.pdf

Turn it off by pressing the power/band button for about 2 seconds. I don't think this is mentioned in the instructions.

there is no off switch. to turn machine off you have to unplug it. I have been doing this all along, no big deal :)

To turn it 'off'', push the VOICE button and scroll through ABC to "OFF". It will stillregister all incoming calls which can then be entered in the white list (friends) or black list (nuisance calls).If it's "unplugged", it obviously won't register any calls. When done collecting good / bad calls, put back on "A" forenglish and in service.

You can turned off. Using the base unit press the answering system on/off. Using a handset to turn off is menu # 328 ,to turn on menu #327 .

On the menu one of the choices is to turn on or off the answering message. I have not tried it but assume it works.

Yes. There is a switch about 1/3 of the way from the top on the right side of the base. Slide it all the way down and that turns off the ringer. The middle setting is for low volume. Thanks for asking, as I learned something useful too.

I couldn't figure it out either. Eventually, I picked up a handset and was working my way through the menus under settings and came across the settings for the base unit. It allows you to turn it off through a handset. Make sure you find the settings menu for the base unit, not just the handset.

I can't figure out how to turn off the ringer...and it is loud. But maybe there is a way. However, if set, it will tell you who is calling...outloud...in a computerized voice. I haven't figured that out either. So...even if you can shut those things off I don't really recommend it. The cordless phone piece sits in a light-weight non-stable, plastic stand. Easy to knock over...very annoying. If you have already purchased, turning the ringer off is in the fine print...I'm sure!

Yes the ringer can be turned off. Press volume when phone is not in use and phone will not ring.

You can turn off the voice mail. You can also set how many seconds to wait before the voice mail picks up.

Hi Gloria! I used the volume button to turn the ringer off, pushing it while the receiver is in the cradle. Hope this helps!

push the off button and hold it down till you hear the second set of tones. Thats when it will be off.

No, I don't know how to turn it off. It's the only annoying thing about the machine. I LOVE it! But the loud beeping is annoying. I have owned the machine over a month, I ignore it now.
