Control volume

Change the volume

If you have trouble hearing your phone ringing in noisy environments, or calls are too loud, you can change the volume to your liking by using the volume keys on the side of your phone.

Do not connect to products that create an output signal, as this may damage the device. Do not connect any voltage source to the audio connector. If you connect an external device or headset, other than those approved for use with this device, to the audio connector, pay special attention to volume levels.

Change the volume for media and apps

Press a volume key on the side of your phone to see the volume status bar, tap , and drag the slider on the volume bar for media and apps left or right.

Set the phone to silent

Press a volume key on the side of your phone, and tap to switch to silent.

Tip: Don't want to keep your phone in silent mode, but can't answer right now? To silence an incoming call, press the volume down key. You can also set your phone to mute the ringing when you pick the phone up: tap Settings > Motion > Mute on pickup.

If you want to be able to quickly reject a call, tap Settings > Motion > Turn over to reject call. When there is an incoming call, turn the phone over to reject the call.
