    After activating the Google app, the voice command is canceled when a certain time has passed without requests.

Note

  • Even if the “Hey Google” setting is enabled on your Android smartphone, the Google app does not respond when you say “Hey Google”.
  • In order to make it easier for you to hear your own voice while using the voice assist function, the microphones work to capture ambient sounds (Sidetone function). In this case, ambient sounds or the sounds of the headset operating procedure may be heard through the headset, but this is not a malfunction. If your voice is too loud or the sounds in your surroundings are bothering you, turn off [Capture Voice During a Phone Call] on the “Sound Connect” app.
  • The Google app may not be activated depending on specifications of the smartphone or application version.
  • The Google app does not work when connected to a device not compatible with the voice assist function.
