How to Use Fire HD Tablets in Show Mode

You need to go in the Alexa app to change Alexa’s wake word on other Echo devices. Through the Fire HD tablet, you can change it directly by moving the tablet Settings section.

●       Open the Settings section in the Alexa app.

●       And then tap Alexa under the Device options.

●       On the next screen, you will get the option “Wake Word” on the menu — click on it.

●       It will show you another screen where you can change it from “Alexa” to “Amazon.”

●       Another Echo devices will offer you some more wake words options such as- “Echo” and “Computer.” But now, only the two options for the Fire HD are available for you. Hopefully, you will get the more wake word options in a future update as soon as possible.

If you want to turn the Echo Spatial Perception (ESP) behavior tool on or off, you can do it quickly in the Alexa app settings section. The ESP setting is more comfortable if you have more than one Alexa device within earshot with the same wake word. It’s meant to have the Alexa device that’s nearest to you to reply first. But you might want to turn it on or off depending on the room acoustics and device placement to check which performs best as per your preference.

If you are already using a 2017 Fire HD 8 or HD 10 tablet, and try to make it a more effective and useful device, then the Show Mode Dock from Amazon is the best choice for you. The regular price of the Show Mode Dock is $39.99 for the HD 8 and $54.99 for the HD 10. To get more profits, keep your eye on regularly offers of Amazon pricing on its products.
