Yes you can...look at the dial and on the right top the disconnect or the button above will do it and it say it on the dial.

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

Yes but you do not see the mute button til you make the call. Then mute it.

From the handset, press the menu button, use the volume arrows to scroll down to ringer volume, then press the menu utton again. This will bring up the ringer volume level; then simply use the volume arrow to lower the ringer volume all the way; this shuts of the ringer.

Yes! You can turn off the ringer on each of the three handsets and also have different ring tones on each. We love this phone!

I can't figure out how to turn off the ringer...and it is loud. But maybe there is a way. However, if set, it will tell you who is calling...outloud...in a computerized voice. I haven't figured that out either. So...even if you can shut those things off I don't really recommend it. The cordless phone piece sits in a light-weight non-stable, plastic stand. Easy to knock over...very annoying. If you have already purchased, turning the ringer off is in the fine print...I'm sure!

You can turn down the ringer volume all the way until it is off. There is no external switch it must be done from the menu.

Just checked. It has a Handset setting and then a volume setting that you can turn down to mute. It does not have one button if that is what you want. I really like this phone. We have had our set for several years. Good volume and quality. Also, it is one of the few phones with a handset phone jack for plugging in a head set. In fact I just order this phone again to replace 2 others in the house that have aged and are not working well.

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 BUT I didn't like that I had to press so many buttons on the menu to do so....I used to have a phone that had an external volume for the ringer, so it was easy to turn it on or off just by touch....now I can't find that kind of phone anymore

Yes, you can adjust the ringer volume in addition to putting it in "Silent Mode".

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.

Yes. Press Hold and then press dial to make it accessible. Or to get rid of it so you won't be ear dialing just press hold again.

It's not exactly a mute button but the handsets can be programmed not to ring for a specific period of time. I have not used that feature but it is covered on Pg 29 of the manual

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

Yes you can. Just like hanging up a call, you can hit the phone button to mute yourself.

Yes........on the back of the phone there are two switches. One is to turn the ringer off, and the other one is to control the ringer volume.
