Answer:

Echo Buttons are Bluetooth-enabled accessories that pair with compatible Echo devices and can be used with supported Alexa games, activities, and routines.

Connect an Echo Button

1. Insert two AAA batteries into the Echo Button.
2. Say, "Alexa, set up my Echo Button."
3. Press and hold the Echo Button until the light turns orange (approximately 10 seconds).
4. Wait while Alexa searches for the device.
5. Alexa will confirm when pairing is complete.

Pairing Confirmation

When pairing is successful:

• The Echo Button light turns blue.

Troubleshooting

If Alexa cannot find the Echo Button:

1. Verify fresh AAA batteries are installed.
2. Press and hold the button until the light turns orange.
3. Move closer to the Echo device.
4. Restart the Echo device.
5. Retry the pairing process.
