There’s no option to turn the Amazon Fire TV off except for unplugging it from the power source. You can put the Fire TV in sleep mode instead, and we’ll show you how to do just this.
Why the Amazon Fire TV Won’t Turn Off
Amazon has made the Fire TV so that you don’t need to turn it off. If you don’t plan to use it for some time, you can put it in sleep mode instead. This mode uses less power by shutting down many Fire TV activities.
When you want to use the Fire TV again, simply wake it from sleep.
If you’re going away and you won’t be using the Fire TV for a long time, you can unplug it from the power source, which will turn the device off. When you plug it back in, it will start up as usual.
How to Put the Amazon Fire TV in Sleep Mode
You can enter sleep mode on the Fire TV using the remote controller or the Fire TV app. We’ll show you both ways to do the task.
Use the Fire TV Remote to Activate Sleep Mode
To start, press and hold down the Home button for about three seconds on your Fire TV remote.
A menu will appear on your TV’s screen. Select the “Sleep” option in this menu.
