Setting up a new Fire TV Smart TV is exciting, especially when you’re ready to stream movies, shows, live channels, and apps in one place. Before you can enjoy all the entertainment features, you must first register the TV with your Amazon account using an Amazon device code.
What is an Amazon Device Code?
An Amazon device code is a temporary activation code displayed on your Fire TV Smart TV screen during setup.
The code is used to securely link:

Once verified, Amazon automatically registers the TV and enables access to streaming services, Prime Video, apps, Alexa features, and personalized recommendations.
