Amazon’s Fire TV is a device that lets you turn your conventional TV into a smart device. Counting on a series of applications and resources, the device is connected directly by HDMI and also by the USB port of the television, working almost without interruption. Because of that, here’s how to turn off your Fire TV Stick properly.
The Fire TV Stick operating system does not have an option to completely turn off the device. However, it is possible to put the device in sleep mode as soon as you finish watching your favourite series, for example. That way, you can save a little more on your electricity bill.

How to turn off directly from the homepage
To turn off from the Fire OS homepage:
- Press and hold the “Home” button identified by the home icon on your controller;
- As soon as a new screen opens, activate sleep mode by the icon displayed;
That’s it, practical and easy
According to Amazon, leaving your device connected 24 hours a day doesn’t bring any problems to the Fire TV or your television.
In the manual, the company says there is still no need to turn off the device as soon as you finish using it, since, after 30 minutes of inactivity, the operating system goes into low power mode automatically.
However, the option is also available on the system for those who prefer to turn it off manually.
