Firestick Setup

Although it would be great to be able to pull your Firestick out of the box, plug it into your Element TV, and go, there is a little bit more work involved to get your Firestick up and running on your Element TV. There are some things you need to do to set up your Firestick successfully:

Get the Right Tools

Before setup begins, you need to make sure you have some infrastructure in place before you begin. Follow this list to ensure you have what you need before you begin to save time and frustration:

Power Up

Now that your must-haves are in place, it’s time to power up your devices. First, grab your new remote and install the AAA batteries. Next, ensure your TV is turned on. Lastly, take the power adapter that came with your Firestick out, and plug one end into the Firestick. Take the other end and plug it into a power source or outlet. Turn on your Firestick.

HDMI Port Installation

Now that you have power to your Firestick, it is time to place it in the HDMI port on your Element TV. Most HDMI ports are located on the back of the Element TV. Locate it, and plug in the Firestick.

Pair The Remote

If the remote did not pair on its own when you inserted the batteries and turned on the Firestick, you will need to pair it yourself. To do this, hold the home button for 10 seconds. It should enter into discovery mode and automatically pair to the Firestick after doing so.

If you find your remote is stuck in discovery mode, there are quick and easy fixes.

Connect Firestick to WiFi

The Firestick needs to be connected to your WiFI to function properly. When the Firestick is powered on and properly connected to your TV via the HDMI port, it should automatically prompt you with a screen to follow to set up WiFi for the Firestick. Complete these steps to get connected.
