Ringer turned off. how do you turn it back on

It a little bit older cordless phone, I CAN'T find the model number, there's a menu/elect button on the face but I can't turn the ringer off. The base has a ringer that I turned off but the phone still rings. There are no switches on the phone or base for turning it off.

What make and model phone?

Select which ever line you want turned on then keep pressing the volume up button until ringer off displays goes away.

if there is no buttons to reduce the ringer volume,

what i did to my office phone is to open it up, put a sticker tape on the speaker and cover it back

I use the 974 4 line version in my office so the buttons may not be exactly the same but press ENTER then toggle to PHONE SETTINGS & press ENTER. Toggle to RINGER ON/OFF & press ENTER. You should see L1 in the window and the ringer may be set OFF, toggle to ON then press ENTER. Toggle to L2 and repeat the process.

You have to do this on each phone.

Pick up the handset.
Use the volume up and down key to pick the ringer volume level.
Your ring will come back

Anything that's 1 amp or more. Just have to meet minimun amperage which on a modern digital phone ,is'nt likely to be more than 1 amp. You can also use more tan 1 amp,because the phone won't use more amps than it needs. (Ohms Law).

The headset volume is turned to zero. Hit the "menu" key on the headset and it should take you to "ringer setting", hit select for the ringer volume and turn the volume up. Not very intuitive but that should get you going!

press menu,scroll down to ringer settings,hit select,scroll to ringer volume and hit select then press up the round button in the middle until you hear it make a "ring" sound. adjust your preferred volume and hit save.
