An HDMI port resembles a thin, wide slot with a slightly tapered base. HDMI ports are typically located on the back or the side of your TV screen. Note the number next to the HDMI port as well, since this is the input channel you'll need to use in order to use your Fire TV stick. If your TV doesn't have at least one HDMI port, you can buy an HDMI-to-RCA adapter that plugs into the red, white, and yellow ports in the back or side of your TV instead. The Fire Stick itself plugs directly into the HDMI port on your TV. The HDMI connector only fits one way, so don't force it if it doesn't fit.

Plug the USB cable into the power adapter brick, then unfold the plug from the brick. Plug the end of the cable into the port on the side of the Fire Stick, then plug the other end of the power cable into a wall socket.
