If you have a laptop or if you use a keyboard with no numeric keypad, it
is best to change these default key settings to make them more
convenient for you. Feel free to change the settings to choose whatever
keys you prefer.
The Microphone sleep/on key lets you set a key to switch the
microphone between sleep mode (listening only for the words “Wake
Up” or “Listen to Me”) and the on mode (listening to everything you
say). The default setting is the slash (/) key on the numeric keypad.
The Press-to-talk key lets you set a key that causes the microphone to
turn on for as long as you hold down the key and to turn off when you
release it. The Press-to-talk key is not predefined. You can choose a
Press-to-talk key if you want one by clicking the “Press-to-Talk” button
in this dialog box, then pressing the key you want. The microphone will
turn on while you hold down this key and turn off when you release it.
Clicking the “Restore defaults” button restores the original installation
settings.
