As far as I know yes. According to whom I order the phone for they said they could. But the phone wasn't purchased for me so Idk

On the menu one of the choices is to turn on or off the answering message. I have not tried it but assume it works.

Press "Menu" on the base, arrow to "Ringers," and press the down arrow on the "Volume" button, you can turn the ringer off. It will stay off if you press "Menu/Select" to save your preference. PS--If you have the Caller ID feature, the phone will not announce the number when the volume is in the "Off" position.

It's loud. I like quiet, so I've turned it off. The phone lights up on the back of the hand piece when someone is calling.

I'm afraid that there is no way to turn off that annoying(indeed) indicator voice...

You can turn it off on the remote receiver. There is a switch that can change the alert tone or turn the receiver off.

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.

Yes, the sound can be turned off. There is a "mute" button. Can not be turned "down or up", but can be turned off.

The voice function can be turned off. Here is a link to the owners manual for this phone http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58830387/HC-AMPLIVOICE50_manual.pdf , look on page 12 for your answer. I hope this helps. Have a nice day!

Yes,you can turn off the hourly time announcement. My 103 year old mother uses it to check the date and/or time when she pushes the button. It announces clearly, and she can hear it despite some hearing impairment. The cube is working well now. At first, it stopped working often(every few days), and I had to take the battery out and put it back in and reset the device for the proper time and date. The device was not very expensive, and it now does exactly what I wanted without too many confusing functions.

Yes it does announce the caller and the announcement is pretty clear. But if you have friends with the non traditional names like I do, then the names sound a bit off half the time. Other than that, the feature is all good. You can turn off the announcement if you want, too.

Hi Elsie, Yes you can turn off talking caller ID. thru options in the menu. Please see Ambar B;s answer (Feb.6) to see how. It;s not hard. Good luck. R.M.

In the handset configuration menu, there is an option to set the ringer volume. It can be completely turned off. Also, the system has a programmable silent mode, where you can tell the phone not to ring during certain times. I have not experimented with that, so I don't know how flexible it is. Hopefully this helps. And when you have a moment, check my books (by Ward Wagher) on sale through Amazon.

nc - Yes! Ringer can be turned off; answering system can be turned off. Base and handset have independent ringers, btw.

I don't know about any do not disturb function, but we have the ringers turned off on the phones in rooms where we don't want to hear the phone ring.

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 do not see a way to turn the sound off. For in class timing I use my smart phone set on vibrate. This is a great timer in the kitchen.
