With the phone in standby, press or on the handset or VOLUME or VOLUME on the base. The handset or base sounds the ringer at that level.

When you hear the ringer volume level you want to use, stop pressing keys.

The handset or base will use the new ringer volume starting with the next incoming call.

I found a free online owners' manual and read it. Thanks, though.

The volume control adjusts the handset, hands free, headset, and ringer volume. Someone may have fiddled with the buttons and turned the ringer down enough that it doesn't sound when a call is incoming.

Hit the up or down arrow keys several times. (either key will work) and the ringer will rotate through Ringer off - Ringer low - Ringer high... one set will be a steady ring, the other set will be a warble ring. This works on the phone made for RadioShack with 5.8 GHz on the front and Cat. No. 43-155 under the battery in the battery compartment.

On the base press the volume up [^] key. Repeat pressing to get higher volume. Press volume down [V] for reducing the volume. Press and hold volume down for two seconds to turn ringer off. On the handset, you can use the menu to turn ringer on and off.

Hold the Low volume key on the base unit for sometime. A beep will sound that means the ringer of the base unit is 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.

Here are some suggestions Volume You may adjust the ringer, speaker, handset and headset volumes independently with the VOLUME ^ and VOLUME v buttons. Your telephone comes with predetermined settings which can be adjusted to individual taste. You will hear an error tone when the maximum or minimum volume level is reached. During volume adjustment, a ?dashed line? icon shows in the display. Adjusting the Ringer Volume Press the VOLUME ^ or v button while in on-hook mode. And/or 1 Selecting a Ringer Tone You may select the ringer tone for each line independently. You may choose to turn the ringer off or select one of the four available ringer tones for each line. 1.

The ringer setting of the selected line will be shown in the display. If there are any further questions or comments please post here. Please rate this solution through fix-it. Thank you.
