Method
1
Using Voice Commands
1
Say "Alexa". Say the wake command to wake Alexa and she will begin listening for your next command.
The default wake command is "Alexa," but if you've changed it to "Echo," "Amazon," or some other command, then use that instead.
2
Ask Alexa to increase or decrease the volume. In your own words, ask Alexa to raise or lower the volume and she will adjust the volume by one step up or down. For example, say, "Alexa, increase the volume," or "Alexa, lower volume."
Alexa understands words like; raise/lower, increase/decrease, higher/lower, up/down, and louder/softer, so use what comes naturally to you.
You can make the phrase more conversational, such as "Alexa, would you please lower the volume for me?" But simply saying, "Alexa, louder," or "Alexa, decrease," will work too.
3
Adjust the volume from 0 to 10. With 0 being mute and 10 being the loudest, you can ask Alexa to change the volume to a specific level.
For example, say, "Alexa, set the volume to 6," or simply say "Alexa, volume 6."
4
Ask Alexa to mute the audio. Simply say, "Alexa, mute," and, "Alexa, unmute," to mute and unmute the audio. When Alexa unmutes the audio the volume will return to the previous level you were listening at.
You can also unmute by telling Alexa to set the volume to a desired level, as in, "Alexa, volume 3."

Method
2
Using Hardware Volume Controls
1
For newer Echo devices, press ＋ or － to adjust the volume. Press the plus "+" or minus "-" buttons on the top of the device.
This includes the 2nd Gen versions of the Echo and Echo Dot, as well as the Echo Show and Echo Spot.[1][2]
2
For devices with a volume ring, rotate the ring to adjust the volume. On the top of the device, rotate the ring clockwise to increase the volume and counter-clockwise to decrease it. The light ring will show the current volume level in white.
Devices with a volume ring include the 1st Gen versions of the Echo and Echo Dot as well as the newer Echo Plus[3].
Method
3
Using the Alexa App
1
Open the Alexa app. The icon is a blue speech bubble with a white outline.
If you haven't done so already, you can download the Alexa app on your Android phone from the Google Play Store or on your iPhone from the App Store, then log in with the email address and password for your Amazon account.
2
Tap the music icon. This is at the bottom of the screen and looks like an audio equalizer with 3 vertical  bars. If you are currently playing music, they will be moving up and down.
3
Tap the Volume icon. It looks like a speaker cone and is on the right just above the other playback controls.
From this screen you can also, play/pause, skip tracks and view the name and album art of the song currently playing.
4
Drag the slider up or down to adjust volume. The selected volume number 1-10 will be displayed to the left of the slider as you move it.

How to Add Sales Tax

When browsing in your favorite department store, the prices listed aren't actually telling you the total cost. Most cities and states charge a sales tax, driving the price of a cool new jacket or a fabulous piece of jewelry past what is listed on the tag.

How to Avoid Dehydration

Dehydration is when your body is losing more fluids than it is taking in. Often heat related, its other names are "heat stress", "heat exhaustion," "heat cramps," and "heat stroke," but it can occur even in cold temperatures. It's a common problem, especially among young children, people exercising, and sick people. Thankfully, it's usually fairly preventable. Steps 1 Prevent it by drinking lots of water daily! By the time you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Thirst can signal a water loss of 1% of body weight. Light-headedness can occur with as little as a 2% water loss. Water contains no calories and is great for your health in other ways. The amount of water you need is dependent on body weight. Hospitals use a formula to compute water intake needs, because even a patient in a coma needs water! For an adult weighing 150#, 8 oz. of water every hour for 8-10 hours is about right, in a temperate climate, with a sedentary l...

How to Ace a Case Interview

Steps 1 Know what's important. Don't go into the interview with the assumption that your mathematics skills are the most important thing. While they are definitely valued, you can impress your interviewer even more by being knowledgeable on topics that are directly related to consulting, such as economics . 2 Listen to the problem. Make sure you understand exactly what you are being asked to do. Don't be afraid to ask for clarification if you're unsure about a particular point. 3 Devise a problem solving structure. Your interviewer will give you a couple minutes to look over and take notes on the data that they give you. Use this time to your advantage. The interviewer doesn't care if you're smart enough to wing it; you'll look much more impressive if you use the time and are able to communicate your answers in an organized, well thought-out way than if you don't take the time to prepare and end up stumbling over your wor...

How to Apply Eye Cosmetics Safely

Poorly maintained and inappropriately used eye cosmetics can harbor germs and the potential for injury. By applying eye cosmetics with a view to good hygiene and proper usage, you can minimize the chances of spreading any infection or germs. Method 1 Safety conscious application recommendations 1 Wash your hands before applying eye makeup. Your hands are another potential source of transferring germs to your eye area. Remember that fingers harbor bacteria too. If using your fingers to apply cosmetics to the eyes, make sure to wash them well beforehand. 2 When trying on makeup at beauty stores, use new disposable applicators only. Using non-disposable ones intended for reuse risks transferring germs and bacteria onto your eyes. 3 Do not apply makeup while in motion. For example, do not apply makeup when driving, as this can lead to eye injuries such as a corneal scratch (which can lead to infection). Applying eye makeup when in motion also risks stabbing your eye with the a...
