The ringer of my phone is off. How do I turn it 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.

Press either line 1 or line 2 on the face of the phone then slide the volume button up or down, for example, press line 1 and slide volume up to turn on ringer, and press line 2 and slide down to turn ringer off

Temporary ringer off While the handset is ringing for an outside call, you can turn the ringer off temporarily by pressing {OFF}.Adjusting the base unit ringer volume Press {^} or {V} repeatedly to select the desired volume.To turn the ringer off, press and hold {v} until the unit beeps 2 times

Welcome to FixYa!

The base ringer is dependent to your handset ringer. If you lower the volume or turn off the handset ringer, the base ringer will follow.

Hi,

To cutoff ringer volume in Vtech cordless phones,you have to turn off the base ringer.
Handset:
program button->up/down" key to cycle until you see the Ringer selection->up/down" key(s) to cycle until the OFF selection
Base Ringer:
Menu->press menu until you hear "Base Ringer, to change base ringer press change"->PLAY/STOP button to save
Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


thank you for using fixya have a nice day:-)

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to help with your problem.

The "ringer off' message on the base display is referring to the ringer on the "base" unit not the phone ringers. Your phone handset(s) will still ring even when the base ringer turned off.

To turn the ringer on the base back on press and hold push the ^ symbol on the base until it beeps two times, To turn the base ringer off, press and hold the v symbol until the unit beeps.

If my information has proven to be of help, please give me good rating. Thanks for using FixYa!

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.

goto the name and hit store it will restore the name and when going threw the store process it should show you old parameters
or goto phonebook find name and edit its preferences for that name phone ringers are set ringers so when you pick one for gereral use thats going to be the general use ringer but special ringers is what i descriped in first part
menu handset setup then ringers for a general ringer you can change to a more pleasing ringer but over all cant turn off

To turn off the ringer on my Vtech cordless phones, I have had to turn off the base ringer & all handsets.

Base Ringer:
Press Menu and listen carefully, continue to press menu until you hear "Base Ringer, to change base ringer press change", hit change and it will say "Off", then you must hit the PLAY/STOP button to save your change.
Handset:
Press the program button and use your "up/down" key to cycle until you see the Ringer selection. Press SELECT and then use your "up/down" key(s) to cycle until the OFF selection is see on the handset screen. Press select.

To turn your ringer back on, you do the following. For your handset, you push Menu, scroll to ringer settings, then push select, Press select again for ringer volume, then scroll up to turn on and increase the ringer volume. Then press Save once its at the desired volume. To change your base ringer, while it is not in use, push the ringer up button until you hear the desired setting. That should fix your problems.
