Operating tips

possible. Close the windows to eliminate the
surrounding noises (traffic noises, vibration
sounds, etc.) , which may prevent the system
from recognizing the voice commands cor-
rectly.
●Wait until a tone sounds before speaking a
command. Otherwise, the command will not
be received properly.
●Start speaking a command within 3.5 sec-
onds after the tone sounds.
●Speak in a natural voice without pausing
between words.
