If you haven’t switched Alexa on yet, do that, then click Continue. I have the Echo Dot so I clicked on that one. Choose which model you want to register to your Amazon account. Choose Your DeviceĪmazon currently has three Alexa models and a portable wireless speaker. My Echo is already registered, but I will deregister it so I can show you how to set it up.įirst, click on set up a new device. On the page, you will see your registered devices (for example, if you have a Firestick). If you have an Amazon account outside the US, going to that page will automatically redirect you to the page version for your own country. Wait till the blue light disappears and is replaced by an orange flashing light. The Alexa will immediately start flashing blue. Take the Alexa out of the box, put in the cable, then plug it in. Let’s take a look at the settings, and you will see how absurdly simple it is to set up Alexa for the first time. You also need to find a suitable location for it near a spare plug socket.
Although this is not a big thing for me, it might annoy some people that it has to be continually charged. If you take the plug out, then it’s dead. You must always keep the plug in the socket for it to work. I was a bit taken aback by the fact that it is not battery-operated like a smartphone or tablet. In the end, it amounted to going to one page, clicking what I wanted, then talking to it for the first time. I imagined it to be hours reading a manual, hunting through the Amazon website, having back-and-forth exchanges with customer support, and so on. I was very pleasantly surprised by how simple it was to set up Alexa. Yes, I know it’s dusty! My office collects dust!
