The very first time you use a Tonie, the most important thing is setting up the box itself! You need to: 1) Download the free Tonies app. 2) Use the app to connect the Toniebox to your home Wi-Fi. The app will walk you through putting the box into setup mode. Once the box is connected, you can take your first Tonie figure (the little character) and place it on top of the Toniebox. Since it’s the first time you’re using that specific figure, the box will automatically start downloading the audio story onto itself from the internet—this is called "linking." You’ll see the little LED light flash, and when it turns green, it’s ready! Lift the Tonie off and put it back on, and the story will start playing. After that first time, the content is saved, and it plays instantly
