Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I set up Fire Sticks at scale?
If you are setting up many Fire Sticks in your organization, first create a dedicated Amazon account for managing them. You can use Amazon’s Frustration-Free Setup feature to set up the devices without needing to re-enter WiFi details.
Note that there seems to be a limit of 200 fire sticks per Amazon account, so if you're scaling past that you may need to manage multiple accounts. - How do I prevent my Fire Stick from sleeping when I turn off the TV or from inactivity?
By default, Fire OS sleeps your Fire Stick and TV on a 4-hour timer, or any time the TV is powered off, causing Rise Vision Player to close. If you don't want this to happen,
- Turn off CEC on your Fire Stick in Settings > Display & Audio > Display Settings > CEC and
- Turn off "Still Watching" in Settings > Preferences > Data Usage Management > Still
Watching
Main article: Why does Rise Vision Player close automatically on my Fire TV Stick after 4 hours? - How do I prevent unauthorized use of the Fire TV Stick?
To make sure only authorized users can use a remote to make changes to your device, you should enable Parental Controls and set a PIN. On your Fire Stick, go to Settings > Preferences > Parental Controls. Enable Parental Controls, set your pin, and turn on all the options.
A remote can still be used to close Rise Vision Player, but it won't be possible to do anything else without the PIN.
