Panasonic Cordless Phone: Turn off speaker on incoming messages?

[Clueless in Seattle]

I've got a hand-me-down Panasonic Model KX-TCM937-B 900 MHz Cordless
phone/answering machine combo.

I'm trying to figure out how to turn off the loudspeaker for incoming
messages.

I was able to find the manual online at:

http://www.panasonic-kx.com/USER_MANUAL.htm

On page 29, under "Monitoring incoming calls," the manual tells me:
"While a call is being recorded, you can monitor it through the
speaker." But It neglects to tell me how to turn off the speaker
should I not want to monitor incoming calls. Like when I'm trying to
take a nap (!)

Anyone know how to do this?

turn down the volume?

turn down the volume?

Yes, turn the volume down to zero.

If you're talking about the ringer, just press and hold the
'Hold/Ringer' button for about 3-4 seconds until it beeps
twice. This will turn it off completely.

At least that's how it works with our Panasonic.

Have you tried turning the volume to minimum? On many of the models,
that is the way to turn off the sound.
