is the ringer a old fashioned bell?

The ringer is definitely a bell. It's a REALLY LOUD bell. The nice thing is that there's a small lever on the bottom of the phone which adjusts the strength of the bell from no sound to a deafening roar that would wake the dead.

Yes that part was easy. My problem was the ringer went off without anyone ringing the bell, somehow garage openers or other electronics set it off. So it rang at all hours of the day & night. Bummer, because theirs nobetter looking doorbell.

No, just a normal twisted pair that you would hook up to any other analog phone. The bells on the top front are only decoration (not that you would need an extra electrical hook up for working bells to normally ring, but not sure why you were asking).

No, what you are describing is the, in house, unit that picks up the signal to ring the chimes . The door bell outside is approx. 3 1/2 x 1 /1/4.

I don't recall all 6 of the chime offerings. One is the default chime (ding-dong) which is what we ended up selecting. There are several variations of this in case you had more than one doorbell location. Back door (ding), etc. There is also a Westminster chime but that sounded like our grandfather clock. There a couple of more modern chimes.

It has a small legacy symbol on the right side of the bell. Maybe an inch or so, not too big.

Yes, the handset has a its own ringer. It's been several years and I'm still pleased with the phone. The main base is not portable...as the additional hand held phones....Nora

I don't think so. There are 2 'ringers' but they both work off the same doorbell button.

I can't figure out how to turn off the ringer...and it is loud. But maybe there is a way. However, if set, it will tell you who is calling...outloud...in a computerized voice. I haven't figured that out either. So...even if you can shut those things off I don't really recommend it. The cordless phone piece sits in a light-weight non-stable, plastic stand. Easy to knock over...very annoying. If you have already purchased, turning the ringer off is in the fine print...I'm sure!

Depends on the setting I like the bell that chimes like a minature church bell

Nope, just a single bell. You flick the plastic piece on the right side of the photo with your thumb and it dings the bell.

Nope, just one bell. But you can make the "ding" soft or loud depending on how hard you press the lever. It's a great little bell!

I don't think so. The ringer volume and the voice volume are both very weak even when turned up all the way.

If I recall correctly (and it's been a few years since I bought this thing), you set the "code" by opening the main box and there is a sort of small little card with what look like little "pins" on it. You switch one or the other to the "on" position making sure the rest are all set to the "off" position. Frankly I wasn't very happy with this item. It wasn't the ring tones that were disappointing. It was the door ringer button. It only worked now and then, and if you didn't press it in just the right place it didn't ring. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, and I wouldn't buy another one either. Hope yours works better than mine did. I was really looking forward to having a door bell too! Very disappointing!

Yes. This doorbell served it purpose for me. My mother is elderly and sometimes she may fall so the best way to keep in touch was the doorbell. I have a bell next door and my son has one in his room at the same residence as my mother. So I think it is possible to have one inside and out but the ring is loud. Hope this has helped.

Kevin: You can buy a second ringer and it will ring the main plugged in chimer and the chime needs to be heard when whichever ringer is used. But not sure about if your had two sets if one of the bell ringers will make both chimes ring. Email the website as I did for another question and they get back to me Website on insert and box. Good luck Susan

No. You won't be aware that anyone is there until on the phone until they press the door bell.
