This article will help you set up MangoSigns on the Amazon Signage Stick allowing you to easily communicate to your audience throughout your business. The Amazon Signage Stick is built for digital signage and auto-launches in kiosk mode for unattended operation, increasing uptime without requiring user involvement. Engineered with security in mind, with a secure boot loader, data encryption, and regular updates that keep signage safe and running smoothly, the Amazon Signage stick is a robust device for digital signage applications.

If you do not yet have an Amazon Signage Stick and would like to purchase one to use as a player, you can do so here.

Create your Amazon Account

If you do not already have an Amazon.com account, you will need to create one so that you can link your Amazon Signage Stick and choose MangoSigns as your digital signage platform. If you already have an Amazon account, you can log into it in a later step to link your signs. If you do not already have an account you can created one here.

Connect your Amazon Signage Stick

  1. Connect your Amazon Signage stick to power using the provided power adapter and cord.

  2. Connect the Amazon Signage stick to the HDMI input on the TV, a short HDMI dongle/connector is available if there is not enough room to connect the device directly. Note the HDMI input that the device is plugged into, you will need to ensure the TV is set to this HDMI input.

  3. If you prefer to connect your sign to ethernet instead of WiFi a separate adapter will be needed and can be purchased here.

  4. The Amazon Signage Stick will power on as soon as it is connected to power and when the TV is set to the HDMI input and you will see a signage stick loading screen.

Set up your Amazon Signage Stick

  1. Once the Signage Stick has loaded, you may be presented with a screen to use the remote to set up the device, or use the Amazon Signage mobile app. For this tutorial we will be going over how to set up the device with your remote, but to set up the device with the Amazon Signage mobile app, you can scan the QR code and follow the instructions on the phone and then pick back up under the section to select your CMS.

  2. To set up the device with your remote, press and hold the Home button on the remote for 10-20 seconds and the remote should pair with the device and begin the setup process.

  3. You will be presented with a screen to choose your language. Select your language from the list to continue.

  4. The device will then scan for WiFi networks in range to connect to.

  5. Once the list of available networks displays, select your network and enter the WiFi password to connect to it if required.

  6. Once the device connects to the network with internet access, you will see a code presented on your screen that will allow you to link it to your Amazon Signage account and choose your digital signage provider.

Logging to the Amazon Signage Console

  1. You will now need to go to https://console.signage.amazon.com and log in with your Amazon account to link this device to your Amazon Signage stick management console. You can do this on your smart phone/tablet or computer. Be sure to write down the pairing code that is displayed or take a picture of it so that you can remember it if not by your computer.

Selecting your CMS - MangoSigns

  1. Now that you have the pairing code and you are logged into the Amazon Signage Console, you will enter the pairing code displayed on the device. If this is not your first sign, you can click the +Add Device button in the upper right corner of the dashboard of the Amazon Signage Console.

  2. Then you will select MangoSigns from the dropdown to complete the setup and click Save in the lower right corner.

  3. After that you will see the the device listed under your devices as being configured. This will take a few moments and during this process, MangoSigns will be launched on your Amazon Signage stick once the process is complete.

Linking the Signage Stick to your MangoSigns.com account

  1. Once the signage stick has completed setup after choosing MangoSigns as your Content Management System in the Amazon Signage Console you will then see the MangoSigns app launch and the countdown appear and then a pairing code will display again on the TV that allows you to link the device/sign to your MangoSigns account.

  2. Log into your MangoSigns account on your computer and click Add Sign or go to https://app.mangosigns.com/pair and enter the pairing code displayed on the TV.

  3. Once you enter the sign code, you will then be prompted to name your new sign and add the new sign to your account. Enter the name for the new sign and click Add New Sign. If you are replacing a sign instead of adding a new one, see the next step.

  4. Optionally, for replacing another already existing sign on your account, you can click the replace sign dropdown and select the sign that it is replacing and click Replace Sign

And that is all there is to it. The new sign should now be linked to your account and you can send content to it by creating slides and scheduling them out to your sign in the mangosigns.com dashboard. If you are just getting started with your first sign, we recommend the Getting Started section in our support site.

You can also now manage your Amazon Signage Sticks and check their status under the Amazon Signage Stick console at https://console.signage.amazon.com/ or through the Amazon Signage mobile app.
