While the Garmin Speak™ device is turned on and the microphones are not muted, the device continuously listens for you to say Alexa to start a request. The device itself does not record or store any audio data. After you say Alexa or press , the audio data of your request is sent to the Alexa system for processing. You can view a record of your processed requests in the Amazon Alexa app.

If you want to prevent the device from hearing any audio, you can mute the microphones by pressing (Muting the Microphones).
