Description
The power port connects the included power cord from
Amazon Fire TV to a power outlet. To turn off Amazon
Fire TV, unplug the power cord from the back of the
device or from the wall outlet.
A pulsing white light means your Amazon Fire TV is
powering on or is looking for a remote. If you don't see
the light, try a different power outlet.
It is not necessary to turn off Amazon Fire TV when
you're finished using it. Amazon Fire TV (2nd Generation)
is designed to conserve energy by going into sleep mode
after 20 minutes of inactivity. Amazon Fire TV (1st
Generation) goes into sleep mode after 30 minutes of
inactivity. While in sleep mode, your device can still
receive important automatic software updates.
