Get acquainted with an Amazon Fire tablet
Step 1 of 5: Check the model and charging
Find the model in device information or the purchase paperwork. Use the appropriate charger. Press the power button to start or wake it, then follow its setup screen. A previously configured tablet may instead ask for its lock code.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 2 of 5: Connect to home Wi-Fi
Swipe down from the top and open the Wi-Fi control or Settings. Choose your own network, enter its password and check the connection. Older Fire versions arrange the settings differently; use the tablet’s model-specific quick start guide.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 3 of 5: Complete account setup carefully
For registration, use your own Amazon account and the on-screen process. Check the account before purchases. Decide deliberately which content, payment and child-access settings suit a shared device.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 4 of 5: Practise the main controls
Find Home, volume and screen brightness. Open one built-in app, then return Home using the control shown. Use the device’s Appstore for compatible apps; do not assume an app available on another tablet exists for Fire.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.
Step 5 of 5: Find help and updates
Look in Settings for Device Options and System Updates where available. Read the model’s quick start/help pages for features such as storage or parental controls. Optional services and content may need accounts, subscriptions or separate purchases.
✓ Step complete. You can practise it again.

A common question.
Can I follow any Android guide?
Some touch actions are similar, but Fire menus, services and app stores can differ. Use Fire-specific instructions when a setting does not match.
Official help, if you need it.
These links provide the product’s own instructions or relevant public guidance. Settings can differ by model and software version.
