Using voice commands
Using voice commands, you prompt Alexa to do something for you, such as initiate a call, play
music or answer a question.
•
A voice command always starts with activation word “Alexa”. A tone sounds and the light ring
lights cyan. This indicates that Alexa is now listening.
•
After the activation word, say what you want. There is no fixed wording for asking questions
or giving instructions. Alexa usually understands when you say certain key words. If she does
not, she asks.
The tone sounds again and the light ring flashes alternately cyan and blue. This indicates that
Alexa is working on your request.
•
If you wake up Alexa unintentionally or want to cancel a process for another reason, say for
example “Alexa, stop”, “Alexa, cancel” or “Alexa, thank you”.

Active acoustic noise sources (such as televisions, radios, hands-free equipment and
children’s voices) can trigger undesired actions on the system.
In such cases, switch the microphone off or do not leave the Gigaset Smart Speaker
unattended.
The Gigaset Smart Speaker is connected to the power and the microphone is
switched on.
You can also dial emergency numbers, such as: “Alexa, call 112”.
