Hi, is there a way to turn off the talk-back feature?

No, there is only the on/off switch on the back. But we haven't had a problem with the talk-back. Talk back is only active when my son is actually playing with him. This is an excellent version of Woody. You won't be disappointed. Worth every cent!

Yes, the talking caller ID can be shut off on either or both the base unit and the handset. In fact the ladies voice is robotic and not very pleasant. Pronunciation is bad.

No, it's built into the base. But I believe you can turn the answering part off.

Yes, indeed there is a mute button. It is located between the volume and channel buttons, under the recall button.

I seem to recall you can through the menu. If I get a moment I'll check it out but there was an option,I think, that allows you to turn off the sound. I thought of turning mine off but decided to leave it on so that I know it's working.

I have an sound stream deck and it plays audio until the nab needs to say something. It was that way by default. There is a button on the left that toggles it back an forth.

I couldn't find anything in the manual on if you can turn this feature off. I happen to like this feature.

Yes, just turn the volume down to the lowest setting. It's not technically off, but it may as well be.

If you mean talk digit, where the phone is saying the number as you dial it yes it. can be turned off. Page 15 in the manual press menu, scroll down to settings ,press menu,scroll down to talk digit to lower the volume or turn it off

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.

You can talk with the cover closed, HOWEVER you want to make sure to turn the screen off before closing the cover or risk random screen touches that hang up, mute or something worse.

There is no on/off button, at least to completely power it down. However there is a button that can mute/unmute the sound without having to use the windows sound controls.

Yes you can, but I usually use the mute feature on my phone. The device comes with a instruction book that tells you how to mute it.

You can turn the answering machine off...and I do believe that you can also turn down the answer volume. It's at my parents house , so I would have to check.

Actually, yes! I have the product manual in front of me. The default setting plays the incoming messages over the base speaker, but you can turn that off by turning off Call Screen in the settings menu. (It will still record messages, just not play them out loud.) Another way to achieve this is to turn on Silent Mode, which also turns off the ringer. A nice feature is you can set Silent Mode indefinitely or for 1-9 hours, so if you're having a party you won't have to remember to turn the ringer back on later.

Sondra, there appears to be no way to defeat the "MUTING" on-screen display. If it is too bothersome you could always turn the volume all the way down. It only takes about three seconds.
