Useful Information
The Amazon Echo Dot connects to your home
internet and a smartphone or tablet for setup.
It has a microphone and speakers and listens
to and answers questions after you wake it
up with the word, “Alexa”.

Instructions
Part 1: Signing into the Alexa App
On a smartphone or tablet
Install the Amazon Alexa app. The Amazon Alexa
app is available in the Amazon App Store, Google
Play, and the Apple App Store. Installing the app may
require a password, finger print, or facial recognition
authentication depending on your device settings.
Once the app has finished downloading and installing, open it up
and sign in with a free Amazon account.
If you haven’t created an Amazon account, go to https://www.
amazon.com then hover over Account & Lists then select Start
here and follow the instructions to create an account.
Once signed in to the app, go to your Settings and make sure
the Alexa app has permissions to use Bluetooth. Alexa initially
connects to your device over Bluetooth, a local wireless
connection.

Plug one end of the included power adapter cord into an outlet
and the other into the larger circular plug on the back of the Alexa
device.

call at [phone] or stop
by for assistance.
On the Select your Wi-Fi
Network screen, pick the Wi-Fi
Internet network the device should
connect to. In most cases, this
should be the same Wi-Fi network
that any smartphones, tablets, or
laptop computers in your home also
connect to. If that network has a
password, your device will ask you
to type it in. After you have entered
this information, the device will
connect to that network.
It may also ask you to describe where
the Echo Dot is in your house, but you can simply press Skip. You
can also skip teaching Alexa your voice, physical street address,
and their introduction video.
Part 4: Using the Amazon Alexa Echo Dot smart speaker
With the Alexa device itself
The Alexa speaker will tell you that it’s updating. When it says,
“Your Echo is ready,” it’s done updating and ready to use.
Check the insert for added information on using Alexa, including
skills and tips to get the most out of this device.
