How do you mute the ringer on a landline phone?

To mute the ringer on a landline phone, look for a button on the phone that has a bell with a line through it, or the word 'mute' next to it. Pressing this button will silence the ringer so that the phone does not ring when someone calls. If your phone does not have a specific mute button, look for a volume control that can turn the ringer all the way down to zero.

If you are unable to find a mute or volume control on your phone, consult the user manual or contact the manufacturer for assistance. Keep in mind that muting the ringer on your phone will only silence incoming calls, and will not affect your ability to make outgoing calls.
