Hi David.
The button on the top of the unit is the action button, Echo does not need
to be turned on or off, however it can be muted so that the microphones are
not picking up sound. The action button brings up Alexa if saying the wake
command doesn't work.
All the best, Ibrahim.

I can tell you about the buttons on the top. The one with a dot on it turns
on the Echo and turns it off when pressed once more. The other button is on
and off for the microphone.

Subject: [access-uk] Alexa questions
I have now got my Echo up and running, though I did find the app to be a bit
unresponsive to start with. By that, I mean that I was able to connect her
to WiFi, but the app was extremely sluggish for a good while.
I have a few questions to ask about the unit in general, if someone would be
kind enough to give me a few pointers:
1. I have asked her some pretty basic questions so far, but how do you
clear the search history from the screen of the app?
2. Having had only a very short play this afternoon, what do the buttons on
top of the unit do? I am assuming the left button is for on/off?
3. Does anyone know of an accessible Alexa UK user guide?
I apologise if these questions have been asked in one form or another
already.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown
