Can the ringer and the answering machine turn off completely? I work nights and the base/answering machine and the ringer must be off completely.

You can turn the answering machine off...and I do believe that you can also turn down the answer volume. It's at my parents house , so I would have to check.

Haven't tried it, but from reading the manual it looks like the base ringer is controlled by a separate sub-menu command. It is possible to program it so that it remains silent for a certain period of time. The handset ringer is controlled by a different command than the base ringer.

No - I turned off the power to my house this last weekend for about 1/2 hour and the phones still have the correct date and time, volume settings, etc. Remember - the handsets have batteries! And the batteries last a long time.

I have the KX-TG4772 model and turned off the answering system by pressing the "Answer On/Off" button on the right side of the base unit. When the red light above the button goes off, the answering system is disabled. You can also use the handset to turn the answering system off. On the handset, press menu #328 to turn answering system off. To turn it back on, press menu #327. Hope this helps.

Hi Tammy. There is an on off button on the headset. It actually turns off the unit, so you would not continue to hear your customer, but I do use it for muting if it's brief. Hope that helps.

If you are not using it the bell shouldn't ring. No you cannot get rid of that feature, but unless you are using the item to cook something late at night, the bell.shouldn't ring.

Yes it is possible to turn it off if you use outside answering services. I just got this phone set and have read most of the manual.

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.

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.

Yes both can be shut off. The answering machine can be shut off for either line 1 or line 2 or both. The ringers for each handset and the base are independently controlled and can be set individually and shut off individually.

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.

Yes you can turn them all off if you want, you can also turn off the ring tone on each individual phone.

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.

If you're talking about the ringer, yes. You can put all the handsets and base on silent mode. You can also program the ringer to different tones, depending on who calls. It's quite a nice phone system....best Panasonic I've had yet.
