To ensure your player is always on and ready to stream, you have two options:
- Connect the power cable to a wall outlet using the included USB power cable and a standard USB adaptor (like your phone charger).
- Alternatively, use the power cable to connect your streaming player to the USB port on your TV.
Note:
If you see a red light on your streaming player, it means that the USB port on
your TV is not providing enough power. In this case, use a power adaptor
instead.
Step 3: Insert Batteries into Remote Control
Slide open the cover on the back of your remote control and insert the two
included AAA batteries.

instructions:

To remove the adhesive strip:
- Gently pull the adhesive strip sideways.

Note: The adhesive strip can only be used once, and your streaming player requires a direct line of sight to your remote control.

Activate it by using your computer or smartphone to link to a Roku account.
Important: Roku never charges for activation support.
