You cannot silence ringer while phone is ringing. You silence ringer by paging through settings on handset when not ringing or on a call.

Yes. Press Hold and then press dial to make it accessible. Or to get rid of it so you won't be ear dialing just press hold again.

Yes- the ringer can be turned off - and there are flashing lights which remain on with the ringer off -so that you are still aware that a call is coming in - even though the phone is not ringing. It also has a "thumb-wheel" volume control for the "hard of hearing" - which is helpful in a noisy surrounding. I have not really checked the range -(as I have several other phones elsewhere in the house).

There is a way to pause, but not mute. With my Galaxy s4 active it automatically stops music when I get a call. Then when I hang up it picks up were it left off (music) automatically. Hope this helps

We've never tried to use silent mode. Do you have call blocking? We don't, so I wouldn't expect it to work.

So far, I have not found an "off" button but I haven't read the entire manual. There is a mute button. The volume of the ring can be turned way down or up to super loud. When I turned down the volume of the ringer, it was very quiet.

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.

no The phone is equipped with a ringer control switch. You can adjust level of ring or shut the ringer off if you prefer.

The ringer can be adjusted from very soft to very loud. Have not found a way to shut off ringer and instructions do not specify. A very nice phone.

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!

You cannot "turn the ringer off" by a switch. However, if you take the case off (easy to do) you can just clip one of the wires that you can see going to the ringer and that is that. It will take just a few minutes to do this. If you want to turn it off and then on it is not the phone for you.

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

Yes, it is called silent mode, it allows y'all to select a period of time during which the handset and/or base unit will not ring for outside calls. Y'all select the silent mode on, then the hour and minute for off and then for on. I have not used the feature, though the instructions seem to be straight forward in the manual pages 44 and 45..hth

Here's the only way I know to turn the ringer off. Make sure the phone is in its charger. Remove it. Press the "arrow up" part of the round button below the three soft buttons under the digital screen. As the ringer is is sounding, press the "arrow down" part of the same round button until the ringer stops (usually two clicks). Place the phone back in it's charger.

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

Yes the ringer can be turned off. Press volume when phone is not in use and phone will not ring.
