Q: Don't understand the Silence section in Do Not Disturb.  I do NOT want to silence calls at any time.  How do I achieve this?

Don't understand the Silence section in Do Not Disturb.  I do NOT want to silence the phone at all.  I have entered Allow Calls from 'Everyone".

    If you do not want to silence the phone at all, you just need to set both Manual and Sheduled to off (not green). Those two switches turn Do Not Disturb on and off. The "Silence" section is only relevant when Do Not Disturb is On and determines whether it is active only while the screen is locked and Do Not Disturb is On or at all times that Do Not Disturb is On. Also, if Do Not Disturb is Off, it doesn't matter what the "Allow calls from" is set to.

     

    If Do Not Disturb is On you will see a moon icon on the right side of the status bar (somewhere left of the battery %). More information at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5463
