Hi Chrislyn P,

Thanks for your post. Welcome to the Google Nest/Home family! No worries, setting up a device is a simple process. I would be more than happy to help.

• To set up your device from your phone, you will need to download the Google Home App. It is a free app found on most app stores.

Here are the steps to set up your Google Home from your phone:

1. Plug in your speaker or display.
   • If the device has been used before, factory reset your speaker or display before you continue.
2. On your phone or tablet, open the Google Home app .
3. Tap the Add icon   Set up device   New device  follow the in-app steps.
   1. If the Set up devices button is not on the screen:
      1. To set up your first device in the Home app, tap Get started  Set up new devices  Create another home  Next  enter a home nickname and address.
      Note: You’ll need to enter a nickname, but you can choose not to enter your address.
      1. To set up all other devices, at the top left, tap the Add icon   Set up device   New device.
      2. Follow the remaining steps.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks!
