                    Bluetooth Device Not Connecting to Fire TV? 3 Ways to Fix\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                    Try these troubleshooting recommendations if you have trouble connecting Bluetooth devices to your Fire TV.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    1. Connect a Different Device\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                    Try connecting a different device to your Fire TV if the issue persists. That\u2019ll help you pinpoint the cause of the connection failure. If no Bluetooth device connects to your Fire TV, the streaming device is likely the problem. Rebooting your Fire TV or updating its software might resolve the Bluetooth connectivity issue.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

                    \n
                    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                    If a specific Bluetooth device won\u2019t pair to your Fire TV, reboot the device and try again. Also, ensure the device is in Bluetooth pairing mode, and its battery holds enough charge. We also recommend updating the Bluetooth device\u2019s firmware or resetting it to factory settings\u2014see its user manual for instructions.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    2. Restart Your Amazon Fire TV\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                    Head to Settings<\/span> > My Fire TV<\/span> and select Restart<\/span>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

                    \n
                    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                    Alternatively, press and hold the Play\/Pause<\/span> and Select<\/span> buttons on your Fire TV Remote for 3-5 seconds.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

                    \n
                    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                    Release both buttons when you see a \u201cYour Amazon Fire TV Is Powering Off\u201d message on the screen. Try connecting the Bluetooth device to your Fire TV when the streaming device comes back on.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

                    \n
                    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                    3. Update Your Fire TV\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                    Updating your Fire TV software<\/a> can resolve Bluetooth connectivity issues and improve the streaming device\u2019s performance. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Connect your Fire TV to the internet, go to Settings<\/span> > My Fire TV<\/span> > About<\/span>, and select Check for Updates<\/span> or Install Updates<\/span>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

                    \n
                    \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

                    Contact Amazon Device Support<\/a> or reset your Fire TV if it won\u2019t pair with Bluetooth devices after trying these fixes.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Use Bluetooth Accessories with Your Fire TV\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                    Pairing and disconnecting Bluetooth devices and accessories to Fire TV is straightforward. Connect wireless controllers to play games or pair headphones for a private media streaming experience. Connecting your home theater<\/a> via Bluetooth (instead of HDMI) also allows for a cable-free setup.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
