  2. 2 do not disturb (sign / notification mode)

Examples

Mén bǎ shàng guàzhe qǐng wù dǎrǎo de páizi.

Wǒ kāi le qǐng wù dǎrǎo móshì, diànhuà jìn bù lái.
I turned on Do Not Disturb mode, so calls can't come through.

Tips

usage
(wù) is the literary 'don't' — using it instead of 不要 makes the phrase feel like signage rather than speech. You see it on hotel doors and as the standard translation of phone DND mode.
