Getting started with the Echo Show
The Echo Show has Alexa built in and you can
useall the features that are listed on pages 7-14.
Here are some other useful ways to use your
EchoShow:
Bluetooth
You can use Bluetooth to connect, or pair, another
device to your Echo Show. By pairing a speaker or
a set of headphones, you can listen to audio from
the Echo Show device where you are, or if you pair
your phone to the Echo Show, you can play any
audio that is on your phone through the Show
speaker. Any music or audiobook you play on your
phone can then be played through the Echo Show
speakers.
To pair a phone:
1. Go to “Settings” on both the phone and the Echo
Show.
2. Go to “Bluetooth”.
Note: On the phone make sure Bluetooth is
switched on.
3. You should see the name of your phone appear
on the Echo Show screen.
4. Double tap on it.
5. A message will appear on your phone asking you
to confirm that you want to pair.
6. Double tap to confirm and the two devices
shouldconnect.
Now when you play audio on your phone the sound
will come through your Echo Show. To disconnect
your phone, just say, “Alexa, disconnect from my
phone.” Next time you want to connect your phone,
just ask Alexa to connect.
Display contacts
See Communications on page 9 for information
about how to give your Echo Show access to your
phone contacts. Once you have done this, recent
contacts are displayed in a list on your Echo Show
screen. There’s a link at the bottom that you can
tap to call that person.
Display lyrics
When playing a song via a compatible music service
there is a “Lyrics” link. When activated, your Echo
Show now displays the words of the song against a
picture background.
