FAQ

Q. What happens if the Amazon Signage Stick loses power?

  • A. If you use a Firestick and it loses power, it will automatically resume playback when it gets back on.

Q. Can I turn the TV on or off using the Amazon Signage Stick?

  • A. You can’t turn the TV on or off using the FireOS player. This requires the CEC protocol, which FireOS does not support. If, for example, you set the content to “Turned Off”, the screen will show black, but it will not turn off or go into standby mode.
