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, what can you do?”
While the speaker is on (in Wi-Fi mode) and the Mode/Connection LED is white, 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 LED on the speaker will change from white to blue. 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 Mode/Connection LED will change to red while muted. In this mode, the speaker’s audio functions will still work normally.

SETTING ALARMS
Set Alarms Using Amazon Alexa
You can add alarms, schedules, and reminders by telling Alexa to set them for you. To set a simple, one time alarm, just say:
“Alexa, set an alarm for (the specific time of your choosing).”
To set recurring or more complicated alarms and schedules, you’ll need to give Alexa some sp ecifics to work with. If you want to wake up in the morning to your favorite musical artist, you could say:
“Alexa, wake me up to (artist’s name), every weekday, at 7:00 am.”
Or if you wanted to hear your favorite podcast on the weekend, you’d say:
“Alexa, play (podcast name), every Sunday, at 6:30 pm.”
