Then open the Bluetooth settings on your mobile device and select the Echo from the list. In my case, I am using an iPad mini. It should take less than a minute to pair, and when the connection is made, Alexa will say, “Connected to Bluetooth.”
If using the app or web interface, go to Settings > your echo’s name > Bluetooth > Pairing Mode. In this example, I am using an HTC One (M8), so you get an idea of what it’s like on different devices. Again, Alexa will say, “Ready to pair. Go to the Bluetooth settings on your mobile device and choose Echo-###” You might not see the Echo right away, wait a bit, and it should come up. After the connection is made, Alexa will say, “Connected to Bluetooth.”
Either way, pair your device (by voice or app), and once the connection is established, you can start streaming your tunes or whatever audio you have over to the Echo from your favorite audio service.
When you’re done using everything, say “Alexa disconnect,” and it will stop the connection from your smartphone or tablet.
