Press and hold the mute button: Find the mute button on the speaker (some models may be called ‘function button’ or ‘network button’), and press and hold for a few seconds until the speaker gives a voice prompt and enters the waiting-for-networking state. At this time, the speaker’s indicator light usually turns orange and flashes.


Check the indicator light status: The indicator light status may vary for different models of Huawei smart speakers during networking. For example, the side white light of the HUAWEI Sound X 2021 will flash, while other models may show a ring light turning orange and flashing.
