10.8 App: Control When Alarm/Alerts Sound

When you are at school or work, you may want your phone sounds to be more discrete.
You may want to hear only critical G6 alarm/alerts and no other sounds from your
phone, like calls or texts. Other times, like at night, you may want to hear all G6 alarm/
alerts but again, no other sounds from your phone. And still other times, you may want
to hear all your phone sounds and your G6 alarm/alerts. Always Sound, combined with
your phone's mute/Do Not Disturb setting, lets you control when you hear your alarm/
alerts and your phone's other noises. Icons on your Home screen show what you will
hear.
The mute/Do Not Disturb phone setting controls whether you hear phone noises, like
text messages and phone calls. When Always Sound is on, you always hear your
default and scheduled alerts, no matter what your phone's mute/Do Not Disturb setting
is. So at night, you can turn on both Always Sound and mute/Do Not Disturb to avoid
hearing anything except your G6 alarm/alerts. These icons on your home screen show
this state:
Default Alerts (those you established when you set up the app on your phone)
Scheduled Alerts (described in the next section)
When Always Sound is off, it matters whether your phone is set to mute/Do Not
Disturb.
• If mute/Do Not Disturb is also off, you will hear default and scheduled alerts and
see these icons on your home screen.
