4. Things to Try with Alexa
Now that you’re connected, try interacting with Alexa. Start by saying “Alexa,”
followed by a command or question. Here are some examples:
»
“Alexa, tell me a joke.”
»
“Alexa, what’s in the news?”
»
“Alexa, add apples to my shopping list.”
»
“Alexa, what can you do?”
While the speaker is on, Alexa is in standby mode, awaiting a command or
question from you. All you need to do is say “Alexa...”, within range of the speaker’s
microphones and she will respond. When Alexa is listening and responding to your
commands, the Mode/Connection indicators on the speaker will light up bright
blue, accompanied by a chime. You can also press the button on the speaker
to manually activate Alexa.
You can mute Alexa and disable the microphones by pressing the button. The
Microphone Mute indicator will turn solid red while muted. This only affects Alexa,
the speaker’s audio functions will still work normally.
