How to Set Up Your Echo Dot
Setting up your Echo Dot is a simple process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:
1. Unbox Your Echo Dot
Take the Echo Dot out of the box and plug in the included power adapter to a wall outlet. You should see a light ring on the Echo Dot start to glow.
2. Download the Alexa App
If you haven’t already, download the Alexa app on your smartphone. It’s available on both iOS and Android.

Open the Alexa app and sign in with your Echo account. If you don’t have one, you can create a new account in the app.
4. Connect to Wi-Fi
After signing in, the app will ask you to connect your Echo Dot to your Wi-Fi network.
Follow the on-screen instructions. You’ll likely need to put your Echo Dot into setup mode by pressing and holding the action button on the device until the light ring turns orange. Then, follow the prompts in the app to complete the connection.

The app will guide you through a few more prompts to finish the setup, such as assigning a location for your Echo and customizing settings like language preferences.
7. Test Alexa
Once setup is complete, test your Echo Dot by saying, “Alexa, what’s the weather today?” or “Alexa, play music.” If Alexa responds, your setup is successful!
