Fire TV Stick Hardware Basics

Locate power, HDMI, and Ethernet ports on your Fire TV Stick.

Port Description

Power (Micro-USB) The power port connects the included power cord from

Fire TV Stick to the provided power adapter or a USB

port. To turn off Fire TV Stick, unplug the power cord

from the device or from the power adapter.

You can plug your Fire TV Stick into your TV's USB port

for power, but using the supplied power adapter is

recommended. Some TVs have a USB port, but it might

not provide enough power. You cannot use the USB port

to connect Fire TV Stick to other computers or devices.

Note: It is not necessary to turn off Fire TV Stick when

you are finished using it. Your Fire TV Stick is designed

to conserve energy by going into sleep mode after 30

minutes, while continuing to automatically receive

important software updates.

HDMI The HDMI connector goes directly into your TV. Be

careful when inserting Fire TV Stick into your TV.

Note: Fire TV Stick only supports HDMI output.

HDMI Extender Cable Use the HDMI extender if you cannot easily plug your

Fire TV Stick into your TV or if you are getting a poor Wi-

Fi signal.
