I don't have the watch or instructions with me (they were purchased for someone else, who is blind), and I don't remember exactly how to turn off the hourly announcement. But it can be turned off. It may be by using the "mode" button--by depressing it in. But if I remember correctly, that is the button used to turn the "alarm" on and off. I think you turn the hourly announcement off/on by depressing either the "minute" or "second" button. I believe you know the announcement, and even the alarm, is off, when the clock shows "nothing else", but the "time".

I think you could set it to have an hourly announcement - but the one I got my mother...she just pushes the button and it announces the time. This is an excellent product for a person who has deteriating sight. She loves it.

Yes. I returned it because the notifications were not reliable. I got most of them quickly, but about 1/4 alerts would either not be delivered or would be delivered late.

It says the time of day when you press the button and you can set it up to announce the hour. Other than that no.

Yes, this turns off automatically after the selected amount of time chosen, (15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes) has expired.

Did you set up email? I did and it took off like 3 minutes the first time I got notification of an email. I deleted my email from it as fast as I possibly could.

Yes. There is an option to set it to go off every 8, 12 or 24 hrs OR every 2nd, 3rd or 7th day. You can have it run from 1min up to 120min at a time.

Yes. Keep hitting lower left button till time appears. Not only twelve hour time but military 2400 hour time is displayed if chosen.

No. It's a countdown timer alarm. Set the hours and minutes you want it to go off in.

Yes, you can schedule by day and hour. You can also set the 770 to skip certain days.

Yes there is. In the main menu there is an option for applying a time/date stamp. It is a simple on/off setting in the menu.

It does both. But the announcement cn get somewhat annoying if you get lots of telemarketing calls. But you can set times to turn it off when it rings. But its a great phone and I loved once I figured out how to turn off the announcement. The caller ID also shows up on your Flat Screen if you are able to connect..we use Dish or Direct.

announcement comes on with bell button, not whistle. Pushing Bell will trigger announcement and bell, pushing bell again will trigger announcement again, and turn off bell sound.

I just checked the manual, and I don't think you can disable it completely. You can set it either 1, 2, or 3 hours, but I don't think you can get rid of it altogether. Hope that helps!

Yes, there is. Depending on the program, it will appear automatically. You can also select it from the taskbar.

No, there website says N/A. Also, Amazon should remove it from the automatic shutoff selection.

You can turn the siren alarm off in the"menu" option. The lights (red & yellow) will still light though. The announcement will still come on as long as the volume is up ..it will not mute the announcement automatically. ...you must press the snooze button....As a side note you can adjust the siren alarm by whatever the volume level you have set the unit too...hope this helps...

I haven't tried this, but there is a "Job Status/Cancel" button on the left side of the control panel. I suggest you try this.
