You were right the first time. We say silence it, or 'put in on mute', or just... turn the volume down, but that goes for more than just phones. Anyway, we'll go with silence it.
[She holds up her own phone and shows him where in the settings he can put it on "Do Not Disturb."]
That means nothing except an alarm that you set up will make noise. Like if you want to wake up at a specific time every day, you can set an alarm for that. Then the volume is... over here.
[She swipes a few more times.]
That one I turn up before I go to bed so that it's quiet all through the night - because of the silent setting - but then when I want to wake up, it's loud enough that I'll hear it.
