how is the ringer silenced?

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.

To silence the ringer for a specific time the answering machine answers without playing anything through the speakers and to silence the ringers press # key and you are prompted to select 1 to 9 hours or always on that you want to stay in silent mode. Hope this helps.

Micah is correct. There will be a decending tone...hold down after that...then it will turn off. I leave my phone playing through it as I do this. That way I know it is turned off.

The phone rings through the speakers and you pick it up to to talk. You cannot talk with the phone attached. At least not that I've found.

It's loud. I like quiet, so I've turned it off. The phone lights up on the back of the hand piece when someone is calling.

You can turn down the ringer volume all the way until it is off. There is no external switch it must be done from the menu.

There is a switch on the side of the phone base - you can either turn off the ringer or adjust the volume.

There is no problem with hearing the phone ring. There is also an option on the phone where you can adjust to having your phone in your purse...rings louder

Yes, the ringer can be turned off. The ringer is very annoying so we turned it off and allow the cordless phones let us know when a call comes in.

It has phone in phone out and power. It is very loud I have it in my school automotive shop and the ringer is set to low. I unplugged the phone to test it for you and it rings.

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.

Hi Joel,The handsets do not have a night mode that suppresses the ringer after hours. You are able to manually turn off the ringer on any handset but that might not be satisfactory if you need it on a nightly basis. We use our handsets in our office (home-office) and in the house. We turn off the ringer in the guest room if we have visitors.

I guess that would be the downfall of the phone. I have not found a way to turn the ringer off or down, other than to unplug it. I don't mind as I do not get many calls on the land line. Thanks!

I am sorry I don't have the answer to your question as I have my cell phone connected to the phone. I have trouble hearing my cell phone ring at times as this way I can hear it ring clearly. I hope you can find the answer you need.

I have not had this happen, but I will try to find out tonight and let you know.**UPDATE**Sorry this is coming a bit later, but yes, the ringer will go through the speaker.

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.
