Amazon Echo Dot - Multimedia Speaker Manual

Introduction

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

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.

Getting the Alexa speaker ready

With the Alexa device itself
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.
Wait as the device turns on and thinks.

Add and configure the Alexa speaker in the app

On a smartphone or tablet

Open the Alexa app. Go to the Devices section.
Select +.
Select: Add Device Echo, Smart Home, and Accessories.
Press Amazon Echo from the list. Press Echo Dot from the next list. Press 3 rd Generation from the last list.

With the Alexa device itself

On the device, make sure an orange light is spinning around the device. If it didn't do this on its own, press and hold the grey dot Action button until an orange light starts spinning around the device.

On a smartphone or tablet

If your device asks you if there is an orange light present, select Yes.
From the list that appears, select Echo Dot-534.
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.
