📱 Setting Up the Tony Box with a Mobile Hotspot

Setting up your Tony Box with a mobile hotspot is a quick and easy way to get your device up and running. In this guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process so you can start enjoying the Tony Box in no time.

2.1 Gathering the Necessary Equipment

Before we begin, make sure you have the following items ready:

• Tony Box charging dock
• Your mobile phone
• A second mobile phone or a laptop/tablet (if you don't have access to a second mobile phone)

2.2 Checking and Enabling the Hotspot

On your second mobile phone, check if the personal hotspot is switched on. If you're using an iPhone, you can do this by following these steps:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap on Personal Hotspot.
3. Ensure the Maximize Compatibility toggle is on.

If you're using an Android device, the process may vary, but you can generally find the hotspot settings in the settings menu.

2.3 Resetting the Tony Box

Before connecting your Tony Box to the mobile hotspot, you need to reset it. Here's how:

1. Connect the Tony Box to the charging station and plug in the power supply.
2. While the Tony Box is plugged in, turn it upside down so the ears are pointing downwards.
3. Pinch and hold both ears simultaneously for about 10 seconds until you hear the audio tone.
4. Turn the Tony Box back upright and remove it from the charging station for a moment.
5. Place the Tony Box back on the charging station. It has now been reset and is ready to connect to the mobile hotspot.

2.4 Accessing the Setup Page

On your own phone (not the mobile hotspot phone), visit my.tonies.com/setup to start the setup process. If you don't have an account yet, you'll need to create one before proceeding. Check your email for a confirmation link and activate your account.

2.5 Entering the Tony Box ID

On the setup page, you will be prompted to enter the Tony Box ID. This unique combination of letters and numbers can be found on the bottom of your Tony Box. Enter the ID and proceed to the next step.

2.6 Naming the Tony Box

Next, you'll be asked to give your Tony Box a name. Choose a name that resonates with you or your child and proceed to the next step.

2.7 Connecting to the Mobile Hotspot

To connect your Tony Box to the mobile hotspot, follow these steps:

1. Pinch both ears of the Tony Box until you hear a signal and the LED starts flashing blue.
2. After a few seconds, you'll hear another signal and the LED should start pulsing blue.
3. On your phone, tablet, or computer, go to the Wi-Fi settings and select the Tony Box from the available networks.
4. Once connected, return to the setup page and hit continue.
5. Select your mobile hotspot from the Wi-Fi drop-down menu and enter the password.
6. Wait for your Tony Box to successfully connect, which can take up to two and a half minutes.

2.8 Connecting the Tony Box to Home Wi-Fi

After successfully setting up your Tony Box with the mobile hotspot, you'll need to connect it to your home Wi-Fi to enjoy it throughout your house. Here's how:

1. Visit my.tonies.com/Wi-Fi and input your Tony Box ID.
2. Follow the same steps as before to connect the Tony Box to your home Wi-Fi network.
3. Pinch both ears of the Tony Box until you hear the signal and the LED starts flashing blue.
4. After a few seconds, you'll hear another signal and the LED should start pulsing blue.
5. On your smartphone, tablet, or computer, select your home Wi-Fi network from the Wi-Fi drop-down menu and enter the password.
6. Wait for your Tony Box to successfully connect, which can take up to two and a half minutes.
