Sounds & Ringtones
Using the ringer switch
Sliding the ringer switch off not only turns off the ringer for incoming phone
calls, it also turns off system sounds like the Calendar notifications and the
camera shutter click when you take a picture. The ringer switch does not
affect music and video sound. By default, when the ringer switch is off, you
can still hear the Clock alarm. If you want to change this setting so that
turning off the ringer switch also turns off the Clock alarm sound, go to
Clock > Preferences. Under Ringer Switch Off, change Play alarm
anyway to No.
