If you have received your Amazon Fire TV Stick, you can connect and set up the device directly. We'll show you how it's done.
Step 1: connect Amazon Fire TV Stick
The scope of delivery includes the Amazon Fire TV Stick, the Amazon Fire TV remote control, an HDMI extension, a USB cable, a power adapter and two AAA batteries.
- Turn off your TV and plug the Amazon Fire TV Stick into an available HDMI input on the back of your TV. If the stick is too bulky, use the HDMI extension.
- Now connect the USB cable to the Fire TV Stick. You can either plug the other end directly into the TV or use the power adapter provided. However, the power connection is recommended so that the Fire TV Stick can achieve its full performance.
- Now insert the two AAA batteries in the remote control and start your television. Change the input source to "HDMI" and the setup can begin.
Step 2: set up Amazon Fire TV Stick
- First you need to connect to your WiFi network. Select your network from the list and enter the password.
- The Fire TV Stick now searches for available updates and installs them. This process can take several minutes. The Fire TV Stick can restart several times.
- Now you have to log in with your Amazon account. If you ordered the Fire TV Stick directly from Amazon, this step may not be necessary.
- Finally, a small video starts, in which the Amazon Fire TV Stick is explained again. The device is now ready for use. If desired, further changes can be made in the "Settings" category.
