1. Turn on Bluetooth on the device you want to connect
Before connecting your Bluetooth device to Alexa, ensure that your device’s Bluetooth function is enabled. This is normally done by going to your device’s settings menu and selecting Bluetooth. Once there, check that your Bluetooth is turned on and your device is visible to other devices.
2. Put your Bluetooth device in pairing mode
The next step is to put your Bluetooth device into pairing mode. The method for doing this varies from device to device but normally involves pressing and holding a button until it starts to blink or flash. Consult the documentation that came with your device for instructions on how to put it in pairing mode.
3. Say “Pairing mode” to Alexa
Once your Bluetooth device is in pairing mode, you will need to tell Alexa to enter pairing mode as well. This is done by saying “Alexa, enter pairing mode.” After you say this command, your Alexa will go into pairing mode and start searching for nearby devices.
4. Wait for Alexa to find your device
After saying “Alexa, enter pairing mode”, you will need to wait for it to find your Bluetooth device. This usually only takes a few moments, but it may take longer if you are connecting a smartwatch or another device that is further away from Alexa.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions
Once Alexa finds your device, it will give you on-screen instructions for how to pair the device. Follow these instructions carefully until your device is fully paired with Alexa.
6. Test your connection
After pairing your device with Alexa, you should test the connection to ensure it is working correctly. To do this, play some music, and check that it is playing through your Bluetooth device. If it is, then your Bluetooth device is successfully connected and ready to use.
In conclusion, connecting Bluetooth devices to Alexa is quick and easy. If you follow the above steps, you can quickly connect your device and start enjoying all that Alexa has to offer. Remember to double-check your device’s Bluetooth settings, put your device in pairing mode, and give Alexa the appropriate voice commands. With a little patience, you can have Alexa and your Bluetooth device working together in no time.
