How do I turn off the ringer on the handset and the base for my Vtech 5.8ghz phone z

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.

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.

Does your handset have a PROG button? Press that, then press the VOL+ button until you come to RINGER VOL: OFF. Press SELECT button, then use the ^ (VOL+) key until you get the desired volume level. Press SELECT again, then OFF. You're good to go.

You didn't indicate exact model of your phone. However I have indicated the procedure used for common Vtech's 5.8Ghz phones

Ringer volume
• With the handset or base in idle (off) mode, press MENU then
press ▲ or ▼ until RINGER VOLUME is shown
• Press SEL. You will hear a sample of the ringer
• Press ▲,▼ or a digit (0 through 6) You will hear a sample of
the new ringer volume and the volume bar will be increased or
decreased each time the setting is adjusted At the lowest setting
the ringer will be turned off and the display will show:
- OR -
• With the handset or base in idle (off) mode, press or of the
volume control will directly go to ringer volume menu
• Press ▲ or ▼ to adjust the ringer volume

Good Luck

The VT-9118 can use one of 4 different ring tones, and can be turned off. 

To reset your ring tone: 

1. Remove the handset from the base. 
2. Press PROG. You should hear a single short beep.
3. Press #.  You should hear a single short beep. 
4. Press a number 1 through 4. You should hear a long "ring" tone (it might be startling!). You can try other numbers from 1 to 4 to hear them all.  
5. Press MEM to confirm your ring. You will hear a medium beep. 
   

To turn the ringer off, follow the same instructions, but choose number 5. 
Hope this helps you. If you need for information, you can download the user manual from http://www.vtechphones.com/docMgt/public/art/313/vt9118.pdf
