Answer/End a call: Double-tap to answer or end a call	Decline an incoming call: Tap and hold for 1 second	Mute a call: While on a call, press and release the Voice Assistant button to mute the microphone on the headset. This will work for any type of call, including Internet calls, like Zoom, Teams, and others. Keep voice prompts on to be alerted when the headset is muted. Muting the headset this way only mutes your headset microphone; it does not mute the microphone on the connected device, so the microphone icon on the device will not show it is muted.
