The friend I found this phone for uses Verizon voice mail, and didn't want the answering machine to pick up first. Just set the pick up sequence so the phone doesn't answer or turn it off completely.

Yes, there is an on/off button for the answering machine so if you choose "off" it will not answer calls.

I bought only the "extra" handset portion of the phone to use in a spare bedroom, which, of course, does not have the answering machine function. Sorry I couldn't help you.

To turn it 'off'', push the VOICE button and scroll through ABC to "OFF". It will still register 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" for english and in service.

Yes. You can disable at each individual phone as well as the base unit. It's nice to disable, especially when you have company in the house, I do not like other people hearing who is calling.

Yes you can. Just like hanging up a call, you can hit the phone button to mute yourself.

I was not able to shut off the fax ring via the machine. I made my own phone switch to disconnect the phonline when FAX is not needed.

yes you can turn off each phone seperately or not. Each also can have their own call tone. No you don't have to hear the recorded message. you can hear or not hear the incoming call.

yes you can. What you can't easily do is to turn off the ringer if you are trying not to answer the phone call.

I honestly don't know if it can be turned off. We use both. I think when both lines are being used, our Comcast service kicks in. When that happens there is a tone on the phone and I just put my password in to get the Comcast voice messages. I'm sorry for not being able to answer your question fully.

I have asked, and did not get an answer from the company. If you find out a way to shut it off, PLEASE let me know.

I think on the top of the base you will find a button, perhaps in the lower right corner. the button has a circle on it with a line at 12 oclock. if you push it, it will tell you the answering machine is off. push it again and the message will tell you if it is on. then your answering machine message will play. its that easy on my machine.

Yes, you can shut it off. It will still show the missed calls and also, with our phone company system, shows how many messages you have on their system for each line.

you can disengage it through the rightmost button underneath the display or through the menus.

You can power it off from the menus. But there is no button on the device to power it down, you just have to unplug it.

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 .
