Follow these steps to access and configure the Quick Settings on a Nintendo Switch 2 console.
Complete these steps
Press and hold the HOME Button for at least one second to access Quick Settings. Within the Quick Settings screen you can access the following options:

Sleep Mode can be configured to lock the system through System Settings.

Screen Brightness: Manually adjust screen brightness.
Volume Control: Adjust the volume for the active audio source (console speakers, wireless Bluetooth headphones, a wired headset, or external speakers).
Flight Mode: Disable all wireless communication functionality, including Internet communication, local communication, Bluetooth, and the NFC Reader/Writer. Some types of wireless communication can still be switched on manually when the console is in flight mode.
