15 How to set up an EchoShow

A Technology for

Lifeguide

This guide explains how you can set

up and get the most out of your smart

speaker with Alexa: Echo Dot, Echo

and Echo Show. The Echo Dot and the

Echo are set up in the same way and

do the same things, but the Echo Show

has a different set up and some extra

functions. Accordingly, you will find the

Echo Dot and the Echo instructions at

the start of this document and additional

details on the set up of the Echo Show

atthe end.

Setting up Echo Dot (4th

Gen) and Echo (4th Gen)

1. Plug in your Amazon Echo device

Choose a suitable location for your Echo device. It

must always be plugged in and connected to the

internet. You should be careful to position your

device somewhere where you can hear it, and it

can hear you speak.

Plug in your Echo device using the supplied power

adaptor. There are two ports on the back of the

device – the pin will only fit into the port on the

right-hand side. Gently push the pin into place.

The Echo’s light ring will spin blue around the

base of the device, and then turn orange for

setup mode.

Don’t worry if you can’t see the coloured ring.

A sound will indicate that the device is in

setupmode.

Note: Screen reader users should wait to plug in

their device until they have completed Point 4

inthis guide.

Orientation: Hold the Amazon Echo in your hand.

The power cable should extend out the back of the

device, away from you. There are four buttons on

the top of the device.

1. Action is at 12 o’clock

2. Volume Up is at 3 o’clock

3. Microphone Mute is at 6 o’clock

4. Volume Down is at 9 o’clock

2. Download the Amazon Alexa app to your

smartphone or tablet

Go to your app store on your smartphone or tablet

and search for the Amazon Alexa app. The app is

free on iOS, Android and comes pre-installed on

Amazon’s Fire Tablets. Newer Fire tablets should

have the Alexa app installed already.

3. Log in to your Amazon account

You need an Amazon account to use the Amazon

Alexa app. If you already have an Amazon account

set up (on a computer or on your phone) just log in

using your existing email address and password for

Amazon.

If you don’t have an Amazon account already, click

“New to Amazon? Create an Account”.

This link takes you to the “Create an Amazon

Account” screen, with fields for entering your name,

email address, and password (which you must

retype to confirm).

If you find entering information on a smartphone

tricky, you can set up the Amazon account on a PC

or Mac and then log in to the app on the phone.

Enter payment information for your new Amazon

account or click “Cancel” to bypass this stage. Card

details are required to download paid-for apps and

skills, or to purchase goods using Alexa, but they

can be added at a later date.

4. Add your Amazon Echo

Open the Alexa app you downloaded earlier on your

phone or tablet, then tap the “More” icon in the

bottom right.

Tap the first option, “Add a device” to start the

connection process. Once you have done this your

Echo device will connect to your wi-fi automatically

and you should not need to do it again.

You are asked, “What type of device are you

setting up?” Here you can add any number of

smart home devices to your account, from smart

lights to home heating controls. Tap “Amazon

Echo”. Select your Echo device from the selection

in the list and tap to select it.

Note: Screen Reader users should now plug in their

device. The light ring will spin blue around the top

of the device, and then turn orange for setup mode.

5. Enter setup mode

The next screen on the Alexa app asks you, “Is your

Echo plugged in and displaying an orange light?”

Note: If the light ring is not orange, press and hold

the Action button for five seconds.

Tap “Yes”.

Alexa will speak to tell you the device is “Now in

setup mode”.

6. Connecting to wi-fi

Select “Connect to Wi-Fi” from the next page to

continue the setup process and get connected.

You’ll be directed to close the Alexa app and open

your phone’s Wi-Fi settings.

Turn on wi-fi (if it’s not on already), then select the

Amazon Echo device from the list of access points

– the Echo’s name should start with the word

“Amazon”. Tap “Connect”.

Once connected, go back into the Alexa app. It

should now say it is connected to the Echo. Tap

“Continue”.

Back in the Alexa app, you’ll see a list of available

wi-fi networks. Select your home wi-fi. Enter the wi-fi

password when asked.

Note: Your password is most likely printed on a

sticker on your router. It is useful to keep a note on

your phone password keeper so that you can easily

copy and paste the wi-fi details when required.

Tap “Connect” in the app once the password is

typed in.

It might take a few moments for the device to

connect, but once it has done so, you should be

taken back to the settings menu, with your Amazon

Echo now listed as being online. On the device itself,

the light ring should turn off and Alexa will say:

“Your Echo is ready”.

Note: If you’re having problems connecting to wi-fi,

try performing a factory reset. While the device is

switched on, press and hold the Microphone Mute

and Volume Down buttons simultaneously for 20

seconds to do this.

Getting started with Alexa

Your Echo device is now fully set up, connected to

your wi-fi, and ready to start providing assistance

and entertainment on just using your voice.

If you want a test to make sure that it’s working,

you can try out a few simple commands. Your

device responds to the wake word, which by default

is Alexa but can be changed to Amazon, Echo or

Computer. Try saying “Alexa”, followed by “hello”.

Ifeverything’s working as expected then your

Amazon Echo should say “hello” back.

Here are some useful things to try with your

Amazon Echo.

Radio and music

Your Echo device will play many radio stations

without having to be tuned in or set up. Simply

say, “Alexa play [name the station]” and if it is a

compatible radio station it will start to play. Lots

of the big commercial stations as well as many

small local ones are set up. Your favourite FM or

digital radio station should be there.

One of the Amazon Echo’s most popular benefits

is playing music. By default, Alexa will play from

Amazon Music (Free Tier).

Amazon Music is available free, but has a limited

music library. To find an artist simply say, “Alexa

play music by Elvis,” or for a specific track say,

“Alexa, play Jailhouse Rock byElvis.”

For a wider selection of music, you can link your

device to a paid for service like Amazon Music

Unlimited or Spotify.

Alarms, timers and lists

You can use your device to set alarms and timers

by saying, “Alexa, set an alarm for [time]”, “Set an

alarm for [time] every [day of the week]” or “Set a

five-minute timer.”

You can set up reminders. Say, “Alexa, set a

reminder”. Alexa will ask what you want reminded

of (e.g. going to the hairdresser), and when you

want notified (e.g. 10.30am tomorrow).

You can create and update lists by saying, “Alexa,

create a list.” Give your list a name, then add things

to it by saying, for example, “Alexa, add dog food to

my shopping list.”

News

You can simply say, “Alexa, what’s today’s news?” or

you can set your device up to give you news from

specific sources by creating Flash Briefings. To set up

a Flash Briefing:

1. Open the Alexa app on your smartphone

2. Tap the “More” icon in the bottom right corner

3. Tap “Settings”

4. Scroll down to tap “Flash Briefing”

5. Tap + to “Add Content”

6. Search for a Flash Briefing by tapping the

magnifying glass in the upper right corner

7. Tap “Enable To Use”.

You can add as many different Flash Briefings as

you like. Open them by saying, “Alexa, play my Flash

Briefing from [name of news service, e.g. BBC].”

Weather

Simply say, “Alexa, what’s the weather like today?” to

hear the weather in your location. You can also ask

to hear what the weather is like in other places, or

ask if it will rain or if the sun will shine.

Recipes and conversion

Your Echo device can be very helpful inthe kitchen.

As well as setting timers and alarms, Alexa can

provide recipes, step by step cookinginstructions

and weights and measurement conversion.

You can look at what ingredients you have in

your fridge and just say, “Alexa, give me a recipe

for chicken and baked beans” and the device will

give you three options and ask you to choose or

hear more. You can say “Alexa, what should Ihave

for lunch?” or, “Alexa, give me a recipe for chilli

concarne.”

You can then have the cooking instructions read

aloud to you or sent to your phone to read later.

Alexa can also convert measurements from a

recipe if you aren’t sure. Just ask, “Alexa, how many

tablespoons are in a half cup?” or more complex

conversion questions, like “Alexa, how much does

one cup of flour weigh?” or, “What is 120 grams in

ounces?”. Alexa can also tell you nutrition facts and

cooking times.

Communications

You can make free calls to people you know who

also have an Amazon Echo device. Calls are made

using your internet connection. You don’t have to

add contacts manually.

To set up communications using the Amazon Echo:

1. Open the Alexa app on your smartphone or

tablet

2. Tap “Communicate” (the second icon along

thebottom)

3. Verify your mobile phone information

4. Grant permissions for calling and messaging.

Optional: Import your mobile phone’s contact list

when prompted.

You should now be able to ask Alexa to make calls

or send messages through your Echo. Just say,

“Alexa, call [Name]”. The recipient’s Echo will tell

them who is calling and they can choose to accept

or reject the call by saying “Answer” or “Ignore”.

Remember, your Amazon Echo is a hands-free device

with a speaker and microphones. This means anyone

nearby will be able to hear your conversation.

Bluetooth

All Echo devices have built-in Bluetooth. This makes

it a Bluetooth speaker, so you can play music or any

other audio from your phone. You can also use the

Bluetooth connection to pair a Bluetooth speaker

or Bluetooth headphones with your Echo.

The easiest way to pair a phone with your Echo

is to say, “Alexa, pair”. The device will then look

for Bluetooth devices that are discoverable. So

make sure Bluetooth is turned on in your phone’s

settings and that it is also set to be discoverable

byotherdevices.

Alternatively, go to your phone’s Bluetooth settings

and look through the list of available devices for

your Echo (after saying, “Alexa, pair”). When the

Echo shows up in the list of discovered devices, tap

it and then tap “Pair” when prompted.

You should hear a chime and then Alexa will say,

“Now connected to [your device name]”.

To stop streaming over Bluetooth say, “Alexa,

disconnect Bluetooth.” Or just turn off Bluetooth

onyour device.

Smart Home

The Amazon Echo is compatible with a range of

smart home devices including smart lights, locks,

speakers, TVs, and more. When you set these up you

can control them all using Alexa.

These devices are purchased separately and are add-

ons that can increase the number of things you do

with your device and even make your home safer

and more comfortable.

Smart lights are amongst the best value smart

home devices. Smart lights are special bulbs that

you connect to your Echo device and once they

are set up you can simply say, “Alexa, turn on the

[name of the smart light],” and it will come on or

go off. You can use the Alexa app to switch your

lights on when you are away from home and even

set up special routines that will switch your smart

lights on and off at certain times.

Smart home devices include heating controls,

televisions, home security systems, sound systems

and door locks. Many are easy to set up, but some

can be more complicated, so knowing which are

right for you can be tricky. Before spending a

lotof money:
