I don't think you can turn it off the but the light from the display is very minimal. Only the numbers are lit, no backlighting.

No you can not, there is only one multi function button...and mute is not one of them.

Hi, Not sure if you can disable the talking feature, but you can lower the volume.

yes, the function you want is called "Call Screening." If Call Screening is set to ON you can hear the incoming message. If it is set to off you should not. Call Screening (p 24 of the User Guide) From the Answering Sys Menu: 1. Press the VOL (- or +) button to scroll to the Call Screening . 2. Press SELECT Soft key. Use the VOL (- or +) button to select On or Off . 3. Press the SELECT Soft key to save your selection and the screen displays Saved

You can turn it off on the remote receiver. There is a switch that can change the alert tone or turn the receiver off.

It's funny you ask that because first day I had it I was messing around with key commands and I turned it off and since then I've been too lazy to google how to turn it back on. So yeah you can turn it off.

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 turn on or off each line. You can also put a different message on each line.

That is not a feature I have noticed. I have always turned it off when done listening and don't remember seeing it with info I received when purchased.

I'm afraid that there is no way to turn off that annoying(indeed) indicator voice...

You can only if the last setting before turing it off was the highest setting. It will always turn on from the Ast setting you turned it off from.

yes, the sound can be turned off. The screen is just too small and the lighting is too dim. It is a waste of my money.

How difficult is it to get to the menu and turn the mute on and off while on the call?

There is a mute button on phone base. And you can turn vol. all the way down on handset.
