Getting to know Echo

Getting started with Echo

Where to put your Echo

Echo works best when placed in a central location, at least eight inches from any walls. You can put Echo in a variety of places—on a kitchen counter, the end table in your living room, or a bedroom nightstand.

Talking to Echo

"Alexa" is the word you say to get Echo's attention. Say this "wake word" and then tell Echo what you want to do. You can change your wake word to "Amazon" from the Echo App.

Echo App

The app helps you get more out of your Echo, and is available for Fire OS, Android, iOS, and web. You can use the app to manage your lists, music, settings, and see an overview of all your requests.

Things to Try

The Things to Try card included in this guide provides examples of things you can ask Echo. Keep this card to help you get started.
