How do you turn the ringer off at night? There is a "Temporary ringer silencing", but this is not what I need. I want to be able to turn it off.

Hi Gloria! I used the volume button to turn the ringer off, pushing it while the receiver is in the cradle. Hope this helps!

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.

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.

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.

From what I have read, you are able to change the ringer setting for the different groups. I don't know about a ringer setting for different individuals. I'm still in the process of learning all of the different programming capabilities.

I guess that would be the downfall of the phone. I have not found a way to turn the ringer off or down, other than to unplug it. I don't mind as I do not get many calls on the land line. Thanks!

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, you can turn ringer off by (1) pressing the menu button until "Ringer" is displayed on the screen, (2) pressing the up/down arrows until "Ringer Volume" is displayed, (3) pressing menu/select button and then pressing up/down arrow keys until "Volume Off" is displayed and (4) pressing the off button to get out of menu mode.

OK, I just did a quick test to answer your question. I went approximately at least 300 feet to my neighbor's house across the street from my house. What I did was call my wife on her cell and we chatted as I did that walk to the neighbor's front door. It was always crystal clear per the wife on her cell as well as the unit I took with me. In regards to the Ringers. Yes, you have the "Option" of turning either or both of them off. The Hand-Held Unit or the Base Unit. These phones work great and I replaced every phone in my house with them. Terry

Here's the only way I know to turn the ringer off. Make sure the phone is in its charger. Remove it. Press the "arrow up" part of the round button below the three soft buttons under the digital screen. As the ringer is is sounding, press the "arrow down" part of the same round button until the ringer stops (usually two clicks). Place the phone back in it's charger.

I have not had this happen, but I will try to find out tonight and let you know.**UPDATE**Sorry this is coming a bit later, but yes, the ringer will go through the speaker.

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.

I don't believe you can turner the ringer completely off. As you are probably aware of, the ringer has two pitch settings, LO and HIGH,and the volume settings are LO, MED and HI, but no OFF. Georgia

Yes you can turn the ringer off with the switch on the right side of the phone, but the light will still flash

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

I couldn't figure it out either. Eventually, I picked up a handset and was working my way through the menus under settings and came across the settings for the base unit. It allows you to turn it off through a handset. Make sure you find the settings menu for the base unit, not just the handset.

I think there are several to choose from - all fairly obnoxious - none "cute". Be aware that the ring and ring volume cannot be set for each handset. You also can't turn the ring off on one handset and leave it on others. You can however, set a different ring for incomming forwarded cell calls.

Yes but I don't know how to turn it off. I can't get the handvset to ring. Only the base rings.
