Abstract
An electronic device such as a cell phone, PDA, or handheld gaming device is provided with a mutable function such as an alarm function, a mute function, and a mute-until function. The mute function mutes the mutable function until deactivated. The mute-until function automatically deactivates the mute function after a condition has been satisfied.
