Install FRAMEN on Amazon Fire

Set up a Fire TV or Fire TV Stick, install the FRAMEN app, and configure it for 24/7 signage use.

Use-case

Amazon Fire devices are a cheap, flexible way to connect any HDMI screen to FRAMEN. This article covers Fire Stick setup and critical FRAMEN-specific settings.


​

What's in the box (Fire TV Stick)

  • Fire Stick

  • Power adapter

  • Micro USB cable

  • Two AAA batteries (for the remote)

  • HDMI extension


​

System requirements

  • A TV with an HDMI port

  • An internet connection


​

Set up the Fire Stick

  1. Insert the Fire Stick into the TV's HDMI port.

  2. Plug in power using a wall outlet, not a TV USB port. TV USB ports don't deliver enough power for reliable 24/7 operation.

  3. Install the batteries in the remote.

  4. Turn on the TV and switch to the correct HDMI input.

  5. Pair the remote — if it doesn't pair automatically, hold Home until "Press to start" appears (about 10 seconds).

  6. Connect to Wi-Fi and download the latest software update.

  7. Sign in to your Amazon account — visit the on-screen URL (amazon.com/code) on another device and enter the code.

  8. Answer the setup questions (equipment control, sound bar, etc.).


​

Install the FRAMEN app

  1. Open the Amazon App Store on the Fire TV.

  2. Search for FRAMEN.

  3. Install the app.

  4. Launch it and sign in.


​

Configure for signage use (critical)

These settings prevent common downtime issues.


​

In the FRAMEN app

  • Turn on Launch on Boot — the app restarts automatically after power cycles.

  • Turn on Auto Update — keeps the app current.

  • Turn on Automatic Relauncher — the app relaunches if it crashes.


​

In Fire TV settings

  • Go to Settings > Display and Sounds > Screen Saver > Start Time.

  • Set to Never.


​

Pairing troubleshooting

If the remote won't pair:

  • Move it within 10 ft / 3 m of the device.

  • Remove batteries, wait 30 seconds, reinsert, and hold Home for 10 seconds.

  • Reset the remote if you have a compatible model.

  • For Echo Show 15, follow Amazon's specific pairing flow.


​

Good to know

  • Fire Stick on TV USB power loses connection when the TV enters low-power states. Always use a wall outlet.

  • FRAMEN supports Fire OS 7 (Android 9) and Fire OS 8 (Android 11). See Recommended Amazon Fire devices for compatible models.

  • FRAMEN is available in all of Europe (except the Russian Federation) and the UAE.
