"Adjusting the Volume Use the VOLUME + and - buttons to increase or decrease the volume. The answering system beeps when it is not announcing a setting or playing a message." But it says nothing about if the unit can go to SILENT even when the outgoing and incoming messages are playing. I have, it died, so I had one of your old recorders and I want another but the unit has to be able to bork and be silent.
