1. Mute incoming calls:

When you are busy with work, attending a meeting, or discussing work with a client, an unexpected call can interrupt you. If you forget to mute the ringer or cannot answer the call immediately, you can quickly mute the ringer by pressing the volume down button. This will stop the ringer without interrupting the call. You can then check the call depending on the situation.

Similarly, you can also use the volume down button to mute the sound when there is an alarm or other notification without affecting your activities.
