Esta história se aplica ao Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Stick Lite e ao compatriota Fire TV Stick 4K. Esses dispositivos de streaming são bastante semelhantes, com qualidade de streaming e botões de controle remoto sendo os principais recursos de diferenciação.

Como configurar o Fire TV Stick
Yes, that USB Micro cord and power adapter that came with the Fire TV Stick might not be necessary for getting the Fire Stick up and running, but you'll want it to ensure faster performance.
Here's everything you need to get the Fire TV Stick up and running and streaming all of your favorite content.
1. Plug the USB Micro cable into the power adapter. 
2. Plug the other end into into the Fire TV Stick. 
3. Plug the Fire TV Stick into an HDMI port in your TV. 
4. Press Home on your remote. 
If you have trouble with this step, try using the remote control closer to the Fire TV Stick, holding Home for 10 seconds and changing out to fresh batteries. If those steps don't work (they didn't for us), just unplug the power supply from the Fire TV Stick, wait a minute and plug that back in. 
5. Press Play/Pause on your remote. 
6. Select Your Language. 
7. Select your Wi-Fi network. 8. Enter your password and select Connect. 
9. Select Sign In or Create an Account. Let's assume that you have an Amazon account, and the below steps follow selecting Sign In.
10. On a phone, tablet or computer, open amazon.com/code, sign in and enter the unique activation code you get in step 2. 
11. Select Continue , because selecting Change account would imply you just signed in with the wrong ID.
12. Select Yes or No to opt in or out of storing connected network passwords with Amazon. I personally opt for No.
13. Opt in or out of parental controls. 
14. If you selected yes, enter your parental control PIN number, and make a note of it somewhere your kid won't find. 
15. Select OK after noting where Parental Controls are managed.
16. If your Fire TV Stick's remote is TV controls compatible, you'll now hit Next to make sure it works right 
17. Adjust volume and then click Yes to confirm. 18. Click OK. 
19. Sign up for Amazon Kids+ (it may show you a message for Prime if you don't have Prime) or opt-out. Wondering
why you'd want Prime? Check out our guide to the best Prime Video movies and shows to learn more.
20. Select Get Started to walk through Amazon's app downloads on-boarding, or click No Thanks to skip past. It's always very weird to see what apps get suggested and which don't.
21. Select the popular services you want, and click right to TV channels. The selected apps below are the ones I'd actually use.
22. Select the TV channel apps you want, and click right to sports apps. 
23. Select the sports apps you want, and click right to the featured apps. If you can't watch the apps you want in your country, you may want to check out our Do you need a VPN on Fire Stick? explainer.
24. Select the featured services you want, and click Play to proceed. 
25. Click Finish to download apps. 
26. Click Got It to proceed. 
27. Enter Parental Controls PIN (obviously, skip this step if you didn't set up a Parental Controls PIN).
28. Select a user profile (check out our guide for how to add Fire TV profiles if you need this feature).
