Help Mute the ring tone

Is there a way to mute the ring tone of an incoming call while I am deciding what to do with the call?

This morning some idiot rang me at 0150h. I was fumbling to mute the tone before it woke up the whole house. But I could not find any option.

In meetings, it is a nuisance if the ringing blares away while I make my way out of the room to take the call.


Yes, just press and hold the volume up or down key for 2-3 seconds. It will mute the call.
