Unboxing and Physical Setup
When you receive your Fire TV package, it’s important to unbox it carefully. Inside the box, you will find the Fire TV device itself, a power adapter, an HDMI cable, and a remote control. Start by connecting one end of the HDMI cable to your TV’s HDMI port and the other end to your Fire TV device. Make sure to use an available HDMI port on your television.
Next, connect the power adapter into an electrical outlet and plug the other end into your Fire TV device. Once everything is connected, turn on your television and select the corresponding HDMI input using your TV remote control.
Initial Configuration
After successfully setting up the physical connections for your Fire TV, it’s time to move on to its initial configuration. Grab the remote control that comes with your device and insert batteries if they aren’t already included.
To pair your remote with Fire TV, simply press any button on the remote while facing it towards the device. Within a few seconds, you should see a notification on-screen indicating that pairing is complete.
Next, follow the on-screen instructions for setting up Wi-Fi connectivity. Select your Wi-Fi network from the list of available networks and enter its password when prompted. Once connected to Wi-Fi, Fire TV will automatically check for software updates and install them if necessary.
Account Setup
