Q: QuestionGood morning! The Echo Show 8 3rd will work in Brazil and it is possible change the Alexa's language to portuguese? Because here we have got just the 2rd generation. Thanks in advance!

Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi there! The Echo Show 8 3rd Generation should work just fine in Brazil, though you may need a different power adapter than the one that is included with the US version of the device. You'll still be limited to the normal services and features of an Alexa enabled device operating in Brazil though. Alexa definitely speaks Portuguese though, so no worries there. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!

• A:Answer Hi FloridaBob, Thanks for reaching out. I apologize for the inconvenience you're experiencing with your new 8" Echo Show. Time discrepancies can be frustrating, Here are a few things to try. Double-check the time zone: Even though you've set it to EST NY, try resetting it: Say "Alexa, open settings" Go to "Device Options" > "Date & Time" Ensure "Automatic Time Zone" is enabled If it is, try turning it off and manually selecting "Eastern Time (US & Canada)" Sync the time: Say "Alexa, sync my device" This should force the device to update its time from Amazon's servers Restart your Echo Show: Unplug the device from power for about 30 seconds, then plug it back in Check your Amazon account settings: Go to the Alexa app on your smartphone Tap on "Devices" > "Echo & Alexa" > select your new Echo Show Check the device settings to ensure the correct time zone is set Update your Echo Show: Say "Alexa, check for software updates" If an update is available, install it I hope these steps get help. Have a great day!

Q: QuestionCan the Echo Show 8 3rd generation print cooking recipes? My printer is enabled but it won’t print when I ask Alexa to print recipe. Thanks

Asked 1 year ago by Pete.

This question was asked about the related product: Amazon - Echo Show 8 (3rd Generation) 8-inch Smart Display with Alexa - Glacier White

• A:Answer Hello Pete, You want to know if you are able to print recipes from your Echo Show 8 (3rd Generation). The Amazon Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen) does not have built-in printing capabilities. However, you can work around this by: 1.Sending the Recipe to Another Device – You can use the “Send to Phone” feature or share the recipe via email or text to a device connected to a printer. 2.Using Alexa to Read the Recipe – If printing isn’t necessary, you can ask Alexa to show or read the steps while you cook. Hope these options work for you Pete, have an amazing day!

Q: QuestionCan I use the internet to pull up recipes on this device or can I send recipes from my phone to this device?

Asked 5 months ago by AZ.

• A:Answer Hi AZ! The easiest way to pull up recipes on the Echo Show 8 is to ask Alexa! Not only can Alexa display recipes, she can walk you through preparation, and you can easily send an ingredient list to your Alexa app to help with the shopping. If you have a particular recipe you'd like to see on the screen, it might be easier to use the built-in browser to pull it up. Just ask Alexa to open the web browser. There are also some skills you can enable that will let you manage recipes with your phone, so I'd look around online to see if your favorite recipe source has an Alexa skill. I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day!
