Product Usage Instructions

Step 1: Connect to TV
Connect your streaming player to an HDMI port on the back of your TV using the included HDMI cable.

Step 2: Connect to Power
To ensure your player is always on and ready to stream, you have two options:

  1. Connect the power cable to a wall outlet using the included USB power cable and a standard USB adaptor (like your phone charger).
  2. 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.

Step 4: Adhesive Strip Instructions
If you want to attach your streaming player to your TV, follow these instructions:

  1. Choose a flat, clean surface in line of sight to your remote control.
  2. Remove the striped liner and press the adhesive strip to the bottom of your streaming player.
  3. Hold your player in position for 30 seconds.

To remove the adhesive strip:

  1. Gently pull the adhesive strip sideways.
  2. Do not pull the adhesive strip towards you.
  3. Stretch the strip slowly to release.

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

Step 5: Follow On-Screen Setup
Follow the instructions on your TV screen to set up your streaming player. Activate it by using your computer or smartphone to link to a Roku account.

Important: Roku never charges for activation support.
