STEP 2: Connect to power
To ensure your player is always on and ready to stream, connect it to a wall outlet using the included power cable and a standard USB adaptor (like your phone charger). Or, use the power cable to connect your streaming player to the USB port on your TV.

NOTE:

See a red light on your streaming player?
That means the USB port on your TV is not providing enough power. Use a USB power adaptor instead.

 

STEP 3: Position streaming player
Place your streaming player near your TV or attach it with the included removable adhesive strip. DO NOT place your streaming player behind the TV or inside a closed TV cabinet. Doing so may cause overheating.

DO
Make sure that the front of your streaming player has direct line of sight to your remote control.

OPTIONAL
To attach your streaming player to your TV, see the adhesive strip instructions on the back page of this guide.

 

STEP 4: Select input
Use your TV remote to power on your TV and select the input (source) you used to connect your streaming player.

 

STEP 5: Insert batteries
Slide open the cover on the back of your remote and insert the included batteries.

 

STEP 6: Follow on-screen setup
Follow the instructions on your TV screen. Activate your streaming player by using your computer or smartphone to link a Roku account.

IMPORTANT:
Roku never charges for activation support.
