Step 3: Scan the QR Code or Enter the Code: 

Open your phone and follow the on-screen instructions shown by the Alexa App to scan the QR code displayed on your LG TV screen, or go to amazon.com/us/code and enter the code shown on the screen. This will bring you to the final step of enabling Alexa on your LG TV.

The backdrop is in dark blue color with the title on the top saying, "Connect your Amazon account." The screen is then divided in two parts suggesting either to scan a QR code through the camera on your phone or visit amazon.com/us/code and then enter the code shown on your screen. The left part of the screen displays the QR code and the right part displays the code the user can enter through their phone or PC. The user can choose either of the options, whichever is feasible.

Step 4: Tap “Turn on Alexa Hands-Free”: 

Enable the hands-free feature for Alexa on your LG TV by selecting this option in the app.

Once the user either scans the QR code through the camera on their phone or visits amazon.com/us/code and then enters the code shown on their screen, they are taken to the next screen.

The screen suggests two options at the bottom of the screen in oval shaped buttons: "Turn on Alexa Hands-Free" and "Not now." The image shows that the user has selected the "Turn on Alexa Hands-Free" option and is now going to click on it.

Step 5: Use Alexa commands: 

Hold down the Alexa button on your LG TV remote and try out some commands. This can be seen by trying certain commands such as, you can say, “Alexa, play country music” or “Alexa, set a timer for 2 minutes” to test the functionality.

Once the user has selected the "Turn on Alexa Hands-Free" option from the previous step, the app takes the user to the next screen, where the app suggests to try a couple of commands to check the connectivity of Alexa to the LG TV. The backdrop of the image is in dark blue color with the text in white. The title on the top says, "Things to try on your TV."

At the bottom of the image, an option is present in an oval shape button, saying "All done." The image highlights that the user has selected the oval button at the bottom of the screen after they have tried and tested all the options suggested above.
