Einleitung

Zu Schritt 1 der Anleitung

If your Nest Hello is not delivering clear audio, then the microphone may need to be replaced. Before following these step make sure that the microphone is not blocked by debris and doublecheck your settings in the Nest App. To reach the microphone on this device, you will need the iFixit, opening picks, Phillips #000 screwdriver, and tweezers. The Microphone on this device is integrated into the plastic housing beneath the face plate, so replacement of that complete piece is required. During disassembly it is also easy to damage the waterproofing O-Ring, so plan on replacing that as well.
