Lock the ringer and alerts volume: Go to Settings > Sounds and turn off “Change with Buttons.”
Limit the volume of music and videos: Go to Settings > Music > Volume Limit.
Note: In some countries, iPod touch may indicate when you’re setting the volume above the
European Union hearing safety guidelines. To increase the volume beyond this level, you may
need to briefly release the volume control.
You can use the Do Not Disturb setting to silence FaceTime calls, alerts, and notifications.
Set iPod touch to Do Not Disturb: Go to Settings and turn on Do Not Disturb. Do Not Disturb
keeps FaceTime calls, alerts, and notifications from making any sounds or lighting up the screen
when the screen is locked. Alarms still sound, however, and if the screen is unlocked, Do Not
Disturb has no effect.
To schedule quiet hours, allow specific people to call you with FaceTime, or allow repeated
FaceTime calls to ring through, go to Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb. See
Do Not
Disturb and Notifications on page 120.
You can also use either volume button to take a picture or record a video. See Chapter 9, Camera ,
on page 54.
