If you’ve been wondering how to put Alexa in Bluetooth mode to enjoy music streaming or make hands-free calls, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started with this nifty feature.
Say the Magic Words
To activate Alexa’s Bluetooth mode, you can start by saying “Alexa, pair Bluetooth.” This command will prompt Alexa to enter into pairing mode, ready to establish a connection with your Bluetooth device.
Prepare Your Bluetooth Device
Make sure your Bluetooth device is in pairing mode. This usually involves holding down the pairing button on the device until the indicator light starts flashing, indicating it is ready to connect to a new device.
Navigate through the Alexa App
Open the Alexa app on your smartphone or tablet. Once in the app, navigate to the Devices section, where you can manage all your Echo and Alexa-enabled devices.
Select Your Alexa Device
Scroll through the list of devices until you find the Alexa device you want to connect to Bluetooth. Select your device to access its settings and configuration options.
Explore Bluetooth Settings
Within the device settings, look for the Bluetooth Devices option. Click on this setting to view all the paired Bluetooth devices or to initiate pairing with a new device.
Initiate Pairing Process
Click on the “Pair a New Device” button to initiate the pairing process. Alexa will now search for nearby Bluetooth devices that are in pairing mode and display them on the screen.
Complete Pairing on Your Device
On your Bluetooth device, select the Alexa device from the list of available devices to complete the pairing process. Once connected, you’ll receive a confirmation message on both devices.
Enjoy Bluetooth Connectivity
With the pairing successfully completed, your Alexa device is now in Bluetooth mode, allowing you to stream music, podcasts, or make hands-free calls wirelessly through your connected Bluetooth device.
Disconnecting Bluetooth Devices
If you ever need to disconnect or switch Bluetooth devices, simply say “Alexa, disconnect.” This will end the current Bluetooth connection, allowing you to pair a new device or disable Bluetooth mode.
Remember to Disable Bluetooth
For security and privacy reasons, it’s always a good idea to disable Bluetooth mode on your Alexa device when not in use. You can do this by saying “Alexa, turn off Bluetooth.”
