Step 1: Connect the Fire Stick into a power source

The Fire Stick requires power, so firstly, connect the USB-to-micro-USB connector. One end to the Fire Stick, the other end into your power point. If your TV has a USB port, you can use it. From reviews, it seems to work fine with that (even though Amazon encourages you to use a wall power point). If your TV does not have a USB port, use the provided wall-adapter and plug it into your power point in the wall.

Step 2: Connect the Fire Stick into your TV's HDMI

This step is pretty obvious, but we thought it would be necessary to also say that the package also comes with a HDMI-extender. So if the HDMI port of your TV does not have surrounding space for the Fire Stick, you can use the HDMI-Extender to connect the Fire Stick to the TV. (What if I do not have a HDMI port on my TV? Skip to the end of this post!)

Step 3: How to set up Fire Stick Remote to TV

So after you have connected the Fire Stick, and your TV has picked up the HDMI input, the Amazon set-up screen should appear. They would ask you to press and hold the "Home" button on your remote. This is to pair the remote with the Fire Stick that is now connected to your TV. (Note: a very obvious step, but put in the AAA batteries provided into your remote before this!)

Step 4: More instructions on screen

The steps shown on the screen should be pretty easy to follow, but we will just mention some points to note. If you connected your Fire Stick to your TV as a power source, the Set-up may prompt you to use a wall power sources. However, users generally face no problems if they decide continue any way so no worries!

If you bought the Fire Stick from Amazon, they will actually pick up your Amazon account and you can sign in to that straight. If not, you will be required to log into your account, as that is how they store your saved settings and content.

Then, they will be asking to test the Volume controls. The steps should be easy enough to follow.

Step 5: All done! Now to download the subscription content you want!

The last step would probably be the most satisfying. All you need to do is to find your desired service, e.g. Netflix. Click on the option and download an app. Sign into your subscription and you are good to go!

The titles of each step is pretty much what you need to do, but the details would be good to read through for some extra information.
