Once you have activated the remote voice control feature, you are using your cell phone’s voice app to operate
your cell phone.
Please check the cell phone user’s manual and the voice app’s help topics to find out what commands you can
use and any limitations of the voice app.
Some cell phone manufacturers or network carriers may customize the phone’s operating system and
implement their own voice app. If you want to use Google Now, you need to manually set it as your default
voice app. For detailed instructions, refer to your cell phone user’s manual, or contact your cell phone’s
manufacturer or network carrier. You may also go to “Google Product Forums” on the Internet and check the
corresponding help topics.
Due to the settings of certain cell phones and voice apps, your cell phone may not support the remote voice
control feature. Contact your cell phone’s manufacturer or network carrier, or check the voice app’s help topics
if you encounter any problems.
During the remote voice control activation, if your Android cell phone comes with both a dedicated voice app
and Google Now, it may prompt you to select which voice app to use, and whether use it for just once or
always. Select the desired options. If you do not respond to your cell phone’s prompt in time, the handset
screen will return to idle, and the icon will disappear. You can restart by following Steps 1-3 mentioned
above.
If you receive a landline or cell line incoming call when you have activated remote voice control on a connected
cell phone, the remote voice control operation will be ended.
The feature may be ended automatically by your cell phone. For example, a cell call has been established via
the remote voice control feature and the call has just ended.
If you need to press dialing keys (0-9, TONE or QUIET#) during a cell call, please make the call using the cell
lines of your telephone system instead of using the voice app via the remote voice control feature (see Make,
answer or end a cell call section).
