Question: How do you turn the ringer off at night?  There is a "Temporary ringer silencing", but this is not what I need.  I want to be able to turn it off.
Document: Worked well for my home office. I prefer using the built in answering system with my carrier VMail as backup. Remote handset has better sound than some DECT phones I've used. Big display is nice, I would have preferred a bit more resolution, the characters are a bit blocky. Really easy to turn main unit ringer up,down,off. The main phone has an excellent number of buttons with the functions I use most all ready to go. Very well thought out.
But if you're a parent with a sleeping baby - you can always turn the volume control down.ADDENDUM ABOUT VOLUME CONTROLS:  This Packs A Lot Of Punch When Cranked Up;  if you're a City Dweller and have windows opened, I wouldn't recommend having this cranked all the way up  unless you want everyone in the Residential Area or Apartment Area and plus 5 blocks away to hear you; it might just be a good idea to turn it down a little. Unless you have that annoying next-door neighbor you don't like that keeps you awake all the time, well, we will keep it a secret here and make that annoying neighbor think his phone is ringing.
:-)FUNCTION JUNCTION WHAT'S YOUR OPTION? Do I enable everything or not - that is the question? So many features, functionality, I feel hopeless! No, you do not need to enable or disable (aka turn on or off) or use all these functions which are made available but it is nice knowing that they are there if ever you need them. But one thing there at the base that has left me profoundly bewildered at the end of it all is the fact that AT&T; has provided you their website?
)COME TO THE DARK SIDE .... Here where my mom did a test call to see how it worked after I turned all the lights off; and I am BEYOND PLEASED! Since I did not alter the factory settings (it's at its default), in the daytime, the white is more off white in what one would call "Antique White" with a gray overtones so it is not harsh on your eyes yet as implied above the BLACK INFORMATION STANDS OUT BOLDLY. Now in the dark,  it lights up like a soft night-light so I was able to adjust this base of the handset just right so that it would wake me up as to being able to grab my glasses and seeing who was calling.
This phone is very good. It has very clear reception. Easy set up as long as you go step by step with the manual. What I like most is that the cordless phone that comes with it does not need to be plugged into a phone jack. It plugs into any electrical outlet so you can put it anywhere. The only dislike is that I wanted to mount the main phone on the wall but it does not fit flush to the wall because the back does not have a cut out to fit over the existing wall jack but I was able to make it set OK for my needs.
I went a couple of months without a phone; mine broke and I did not want to settle for just anything. I love this set! It has everything that I need and then some. Both, the corded and cordless phones are easy to hold and use. Trust that I am on the phone quite a bit and this was necessary for my satisfaction. There is great, clear sound as well, which is always a must with a telephone for any type of use. Love this product.
This phone has replaced a pair of Motorola DECT 6.0 Cordless Phones with 1 Handset and Caller ID L601M, both of which began episodes of losing contact with their bases &#8213; on which they were sitting! &#8213; within less than 6 months of purchase date, and totally and permanently became unable to find their bases within 7 months of the time of purchase.This AT&T; CL84102 is the best phone I have had during my 80 years in this life. The instruction manual is good enough that even this old octogenarian was able to soon enough learn all I need to know for my usage of the system.
If no have no D/C aka "Direct Connect", this phone will work without Direct Connect.HANDSET AND BASE:YAY! Comes with a common replaceable rechargeable battery that is easily found everywhere!Comes with the adapter as so as it was with the base.It does come partially charged but it does need to be fully recharged.Program your main base first then REGISTER the phone after it's been at least half charged so everything you have input into the Master Base will now be stored into the handset.The Handset has all the controls and functions (EVEN MUTE BUTTON which is on the left top side of the phone) - you can even turn on the answering machine or turn it off or check messages, you can do a lot of things with it.Bad thing about it is - it does not come with a clip or an attachment that you can carry around;  while I looked at my old clips and cases I had from old phones before, but it won't cut it - there's a reason why ---> the talk button is on the left side of the phone;  one has to push it to enable to talk on the phone.
This is a great product .... Speakerphone is great and its a very good phone for the home office. Only issue I have is that the keys don't light up at night .... other than that, a great phone for the price
I bought a landline phone because we are out in the sticks and sometimes calls get dropped on the cell phone (yes, Verizon even). The phone is ok, kinda cheapy feeling, very light weight plastic. The sound is &#34;ok&#34;, kind of tinny. The one thing that bothers me is the light on the face goes out and you have to fumble to get it to turn back on. I accidentally hung up on someone because of that. It works fine for my purpose, emergency phone, only.
Answer: 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.
