How to Set Up a New Amazon Echo
In this Blind Vet Tech Quick Guides, News and Reviews podcast, we describe and set up a new Amazon Echo. The Amazon Echo is a midrange smart speaker from Amazon. Its capable of providing a midsize room with halfway decent music quality and most importantly Alexa. To follow along, you will need to have installed the Amazon Alexa app on your iPhone. In this episode we will:
* Describe the Echo
* Walk through the process with the Alexa app to set up the Echo
If you are wondering what the Echo looks like, imagine a large pop can covered with your standard speaker cloth. On the top, you will find four buttons, while the bottom edge will have a notch for the power cord and the 3.5mm audio jack. To orientate the Echo, placed the power adapter notch facing away from you. When placed this way, the four buttons on top do the following:
* Volume Up at 12 o’clock
* Volume Down at 6 o’clock
* Action at 3 o’clock and has a bump dot in the middle
* Mute at 9 o’clock
