For quiet office use, can the volume be set very, very low? Will the "Alert Off" switch stop ALL sound alerts?

If you slide the &lt;weather&gt; switch from "on" (red) to off, the WX radio will no longer be in standby mode and therefore will not monitor for or sound any transmitted alerts (this defeats the whole purpose of having a WX alert radio, doesn't it?). Instead, use the "defeat siren" feature to silence all but the most essential alerts. Also, set the alert feature to "voice" mode so that the siren and radio shut themselves off in short time whenever an alert IS issued.

The volume control, if turned down all the way, will completely silence the radio, so it would work very well for your needs in the office. I can only assume the alert key kills all the alerts but not really sure.

Yes to the first question. You can set individual custom volume levels for alert tones, band audio volume, and both timed alarms. Can be set quite low for softer alerts.

Yes, all beeps can be turned off, so you hear nothing but the actual voice come through when you are receiving. Pressing the buttons to send will also not make a noise - just the mechanical click of the switch, which is not very loud.

It is not loud. It;s very quiet. You can hear it while using it but it would to disturb others in an office.

I do not use it any more. The alert is not loud enough. I purchased it for using it in shopping mall, airport, or other public areas, where a lot of noises are present. In many places, I even cannot hear the alter because the noise surrounding me. The alert is loud enough when I was testing it at home or in our neighborhood.

There is a switch on the bottom to turn off the sound. It does get annoying!

Yes, you have the option of either having the message volume on or off. You can decide whether you want to be able to monitor your calls by hearing the message and the reply or you can set it for a silent mode and check it at any time later.

From the system tray. Just adjust using the volume icon. Set it low - 1, 2 or 3 should be plenty loud enough.

Up to my knowledge there is no option to set the volume on a specific level and save the setting, which is one of the negatives of this unit since the volume is high by default.

Yes by simply adjusting the volume down, it can be totaly silent. Hope this helps

I agree that the sound level of the on/off or low battery tones are too loud and a little annoying, but I am not aware of any way to control the volume of these sounds. I believe the only volume control you have over the unit is with your smart phone or other BT device that you connect to the speaker.

Yes, It only has a max volume level. It CANNOT be turned down. It a room with people, it is much to loud.

Sorry, I can not help you, it was a gift for my great nephew. At the time I printed one of the reviews regarding the volume setting, since that was the only troublesome issue. Look in the reviews for guidance. Good luck!

I had the same issue. I was at work and had to test and everyone would hear it. What you have to do is take off the back panel of the monitor and there is a little button in the back, you just keep tapping the button until the volume appears and you can mute it. Mine is now silent.

Turn the volume down all the way. There is no switch to turn off the sound. Hope this helps.

Yes they will disturb the next cubicle over at low volumes especially if the the environment is very quiet.

No, there is no volume control. There is only an 'on/off' switch. Depending on your sensitivity to sound, I don't think it's that loud. I think it's more of that little fear in most of us that makes us worry that 'someone else' may hear it! :*)
