Can I listen to music or podcasts and hear Voice Alerts at the same time?

Yes. The volume of music will be lowered for the duration of the Voice Alert, but not paused.

My device is frozen while downloading the voice files pack. How can I fix this?

The Wi-Fi search may take up to 3 minutes, and during this time, you are not able to exit the Wi-Fi search. Please wait until the Wi-Fi connects successfully or times out.

Why are some Voice Alerts interrupted by other ones?

Voice alerts may interrupt each other. More important reminders will interrupt less important ones; this is intentional.
