how easy it is to mute this phone so that the ringer shuts off? (for my grandma to figure out!) can it be done on either phone? or only the base?

you do it from the phone, you can get messages or anything from the phone just read the directions, it's a little complicated if your not computer savvy, I never thought of that, shut the ringer off and the light will still blink, I have had a few romantic moment's ruined over the phone ringing, you can turn the volume off on the answering machine too, thanks I have it figured out now when my other girlfriend comes over and the other one calls, yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a mute button on phone base. And you can turn vol. all the way down on handset.

Very simple, press menu, go to initial setting, press select, go to ringer setting, press select, then press 0 thru 7 for volume. Pressing 0 mutes the phone, (no tone or ringer.) This can be done on all phones.

You can do it independently on each phone. It requires a selection from a sub-sub(-sub??) menu so if your grandma is a technologically aware 55 year old, sure, but if she is a 90-year-old "Menu? What is that, dear?", she will have problems.

How difficult is it to get to the menu and turn the mute on and off while on the call?

Yes, the ringer can be turned off for as long as you wish. You have to set it to off on each handset.

Yes, ringers can be turned off. Access the menu for ringer volume and set to lowest point which is off, this must be done for each handset.

You cannot silence ringer while phone is ringing. You silence ringer by paging through settings on handset when not ringing or on a call.

Not sure if you can turn off ringer? I will say it is not loud at all. Mine even has a red light that flashes when I receive a call. Hope that helps!

Yes. There is a switch about 1/3 of the way from the top on the right side of the base. Slide it all the way down and that turns off the ringer. The middle setting is for low volume. Thanks for asking, as I learned something useful too.

Yes, each handset rings independently as does the base unit.You can mute the handset as it rings by pushing the end button and the other handsets will continue to ring.

You set your cell phone on silent alert, place the phone behind the unit (slip it between the unit and the elastic band), and you're done. If you get a phone call, the vibration of the phone causes the RingMaster to go off. You can adjust the volume on the unit to your liking. I am pleased with mine and feel it was a worthwhile purchase.

You cannot "turn the ringer off" by a switch. However, if you take the case off (easy to do) you can just clip one of the wires that you can see going to the ringer and that is that. It will take just a few minutes to do this. If you want to turn it off and then on it is not the phone for you.

The ringer can be adjusted from very soft to very loud. Have not found a way to shut off ringer and instructions do not specify. A very nice phone.

Yes .... both the handset and the base station have ringer volume controls. You can stroll the volume down on both to zero or no ring.
