Not exactly. It only has a DND (do not disturb) button. When pressed it will turn off the ringging sound on the base and all the phones.

No it does not. That is a separate piece that unscrewes from the main ring.

Here is a link to the instruction book: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CFIQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn-media-att.vtp-media.com%2Fecp%2Fdocuments%2Fproduct_Product%2F127%2FUserManual%2F5981%2Fcl82209_manual_USA_i6.pdf&ei=O7uGUv3dMqn92QX1zIGYCg&usg=AFQjCNEcwn65j-goSfSPCjrkcN01D_8B7A&sig2=qcHDr0rIxkPOiG4boXchEQ&bvm=bv.56643336,d.b2I It opens as a .pdf. On pg. 20 (.pdf pg. 25), there are instructions for silencing the ringer when a call is coming in. It only stops the ringer on the handset you are holding for that one incoming call, but does not disconnect the call. It keeps ringing on the other handsets and the larger base. The next call that comes in after that will still ring on that handset. The larger telephone base also rings whether there is a phone on it or not. The smaller bases do not ring. The phone handsets all ring, and I see no way to turn of the ringer permanently - only for that one call coming in. The base ringer can be louder, softer, or silenced altogether (pg. 40 instructions, pg 45 of the .pdf). I think being able to silence the handsets would be nice, especially if you want to keep the phone in the room but don't want it to ring. If, for example, you want to sleep in a bedroom and there is a small base in that room, you can keep the small base, but you would have to put the actual phone in a place in the house where the ringer would not awaken you. I hope this helps.

It's an open bottom type situation. I wouldn't think you could bypass the ring.

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

Yes. Unfortunately there is no way to make it completely silent. It's a very loud, obnoxious vibrate too!

The RingMaster is set off by the vibration of your cell phone. There is a rubberband strap in the back which holds your cellphone up against the RingMaster so it can feel the vibration. The RingMaster has a volume control and even the lower volume level is loud enough for my somewhat hard of hearing mother to hear. Obviously, you have to put your cell phone on vibration for the RingMaster to work.

I mute mine using my phone. I am not sure if you can do it from the headset itself.

Yes - the ringer can be turned off completely, with the phone letting you know it is ringing by flashing a red light in sync with what would have been the ringing. It is a very nice feature

You don't want to use the old ring as the new design ring included with the EXCEL has a rubber isolator built-in to prevent noise from reaching the sink and turning it into a speaker. We were going to use the old ring but decided the new one was worth installing. Just took an extra couple of minutes and the results are impressively quiet.

From the Manual Using Special Features Silent Mode You can silence the ringers on the base and all handsets for a specific period of time: the answering system answers any incoming calls without playing anything through the speaker. 1. With the phone in standby, press and hole # on any handset. The phone prompts you to select the number of hours (1-9 or Always On0 that you want it to stay in silent mode. 2. To confirm, press # or just wait about 5 Seconds. The phone turns on the answering system and displays Silent Mode On each handset. 3. After the selected number of hours, the phone automatically exits silent mode. To exit silent mode manually, press and hold # again. If the phone is in silent mode and you turn off the answering system, the phone exits silent mode.

Yes, you can! It's flexible plastic/rubber and can be pulled off. Just grab the ring and give it a good pull. It can be put back on later if you change your mind.

You would cut open the ring to get it out, so I don't know. It's tiny though.
