Changing the handset ringer volume does not affect the base
ringer volume.
If the ringer volume is set to off, that handset or the telephone base
is silenced for all incoming calls.
The ringer volume level also determines the ringer levels of
intercom calls.
If the ringer volume is set to off, the caller ID will not be announced
and the screen will briefly display Caller ID won’t be announced.
QUIET mode
When QUIET mode is turned on, the telephone silences all
sounds during the set period of time (1-12 hours). However,
the handset locator paging tone and any sound-generating
operations initiated by users, such as making calls using
the speakerphone or setting ringer volume, will sound as
normal. After you turn on QUIET mode, this feature activates
immediately and the answering system turns on automatically.
When QUIET mode is on, the answering system takes calls and
records messages without broadcasting them.

mode setting screen. The screen shows Set quiet mode
duration (1 to 12 hours) _ _.
2. Use the dialing keys to enter the desired number of hours
(1-12) you would like to turn on QUIET mode, then press
SELECT. Your screen briefly shows Answering sys is ON
during quiet mode and then Quiet mode on in the idle
screen.
To turn QUIET mode off:
While QUIET mode is on, press and hold QUIET #. The
screen shows Quiet mode is off and you hear a confirmation
tone.

If you change the base ringer, handset ringer, ringer volume, key
tone, or caller ID announce features when QUIET mode is on, the
sample plays but the feature is still muted after saving the setting.
After QUIET mode is turned off or the set period of time has
expired, all muted features will be activated again.
The PTT function is not available when QUIET mode is on.
When QUIET mode is on, and Smart call blocker is on and in
screening mode, all screened home calls will be sent to the
answering system after screening. For more information on Smart
call blocker, see About Smart call blocker.
