3. Wi-Fi and Google Home App Setup

- Assign each speaker to a specific room in your home for easy organization and control.
4. Multi-Room Audio and Stereo Pairing
- Multi-Room Audio: Use the Google Home app to group multiple Nest Audio speakers together. This allows you to play the same music across different rooms simultaneously.
- Stereo Pairing: For an immersive audio experience in a single room, pair two Nest Audio speakers together to function as a stereo left and right channel. This option is configured within the Google Home app.
Operating Instructions
1. Voice Control with Google Assistant
Your Google Nest Audio speakers come with Google Assistant built-in. Simply say "Hey Google" followed by your command or question. Examples include:
- "Hey Google, play my morning playlist."
- "Hey Google, what's the weather like today?"
- "Hey Google, set a timer for 15 minutes."
- "Hey Google, turn off the living room lights."
2. Touch Controls
The top surface of the Nest Audio speaker features touch-sensitive controls:
- Tap the center: Play/Pause music.
- Tap the left side: Decrease volume.
- Tap the right side: Increase volume.
3. Microphone Mute Switch
For privacy, each Nest Audio speaker has a physical microphone mute switch located on the back. Slide the switch to disable the microphone. When muted, the indicator lights on the front of the speaker will glow orange, indicating that the Google Assistant is not actively listening.
4. Music Streaming and Connectivity

- Wi-Fi: Connects to services like Spotify, YouTube Music, and more through the Google Home app.

Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean your Google Nest Audio speakers, gently wipe the fabric and plastic surfaces with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Avoid getting moisture into any openings.
Troubleshooting
Voice Assistant Responds Too Literally
Occasionally, the Google Assistant may interpret commands very literally, leading to unexpected responses. To improve interaction, try rephrasing your commands or being more specific. Google continuously updates its Assistant, so performance may improve over time.
Connectivity Issues
- Ensure your Wi-Fi network is active and the signal is strong where the speakers are located.
- Restart your Wi-Fi router and the Nest Audio speakers.
- Verify that your Google Home app is up to date.
- If using Bluetooth, ensure the speaker is in pairing mode and within range of your device.
No Sound
- Check the volume level on the speaker and in the Google Home app.
- Ensure the speaker is properly powered on and connected to Wi-Fi.
- Verify that the correct audio source is selected in the Google Home app.
