Maintenance

Wipe the TV's frame and the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on these surfaces.

3. Software Updates

Your Fire TV automatically receives software updates over the internet. Ensure your TV is connected to Wi-Fi for these updates to download and install, which helps maintain optimal performance and security.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your TV, try the following basic troubleshooting steps:

• No Power: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the TV and the wall outlet. Try a different outlet.
• No Picture/Sound: Verify that the correct input source is selected. Check all cable connections (HDMI, audio) for looseness.
• Remote Not Responding: Replace the AAA batteries in the Alexa Voice Remote. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the TV. Re-pair the remote if necessary (refer to the TV's on-screen help).
• Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues: Restart your Wi-Fi router and modem. Go to the TV's network settings to reconnect to your Wi-Fi network. Ensure the Wi-Fi password is correct.
• App Lagging/Freezing: Close and restart the problematic application. If the issue persists, try restarting the TV by unplugging it from the power outlet for a few minutes and then plugging it back in.
