Can it be set up to Not Ring, But Make Calls W/out p/c

Yes. You can make incoming calls go to voicemail yet continue to make calls with the OBi + Google Voice. From the phone attached to the OBi device (not magic jack), dial *78 - This is the star-code for Do-Not-Disturb. All in-bound calls will go to voicemail (or other forwarding phones). You may continue to make calls using Google Voice, or any configured VoIP or Line (OBi110 only) service. To disable Do-Not-Disturb dial *79 from the attached phone.

Yes when you get a call, it ring through the unit. And it does mute the audio. The sound is very clear too.

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.

Laci and Marjorie are correct. Base ringer is controlled separately.Since I have a handset charging on it all the time, I chose to just set silent mode on the base permanently.

you can control the ringer on each line... for example if line 2 is a fax... you can turn off the ringer on 2 and leave line 1 ringer on

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.

It's not exactly a mute button but the handsets can be programmed not to ring for a specific period of time. I have not used that feature but it is covered on Pg 29 of the manual

No, you can't put it on hold, but you can mute the sound, so for the caller it would be like being on hold.

nc - Yes! Ringer can be turned off; answering system can be turned off. Base and handset have independent ringers, btw.

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!

Not exactly sure if device itself has a mute feature, but if you mute the call using mute option on device, you should achieve desired result

The default setting is for one ring but you can program the phone to not ring at all when a blocked call comes in.

You can make and receive calls without the power supply plugged in. The screen will not light up, so caller ID will not work. Not sure about some other functions.

per the handbook (pg 34), it states: If you do not want the first ring from a number on the call block list to sound, turn the first ringsetting to "Off". The default setting is "On". So to answer your question, yes it can be done. Also for any other question, here is the URL from the Panasonic site for the manual. http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/KXTG6841-MUL.PDF

You can put music on mute or hold, I never tried it with a phone call. I imagine it depends on the capability of Your phone. I know I can swap 2 calls with call eaiting
