## Welcome

Welcome to the Deepthroat Trainer (DTT). In a few minutes you'll mount the device, pair it to your dashboard, and run your first training session.

<Tip>
  If you're brand new, begin with the lowest difficulty and short segments. Increase intensity as your confidence and technique improve.

## Before you begin

* A clean, smooth, non‑porous surface (glass, acrylic, glazed tile)
* Backboard with suction cups and the trainer unit
* A compatible toy (R+D or your own)
* A charged trainer
* Your dashboard account and 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi (for syncing results)

<Warning>
  Only mount on smooth, non‑porous surfaces. Test suction before use. Stop immediately if you feel pain or discomfort.
</Warning>

## Set up and run your first session

<Steps>
  <Step title="Mount the backboard">
    Choose a smooth surface at a comfortable height. Lightly moisten the suction cups, press firmly, and check that the board is secure.

    <Note>
      Suction cups adhere best to clean, non‑textured surfaces. Avoid painted walls or porous materials.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Attach the trainer">
    Align the trainer with the backboard and secure it to the hook‑and‑loop (Velcro) mount. Make sure it cannot wobble or shift.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install a toy">
    Attach a compatible toy to the trainer. If you use your own, set it as your default in the dashboard later so measurements stay accurate. See <a href="/dtt/quick-start/using-toys">Using Different Toys</a>.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Power on and note your Trainer ID">
    Turn the power switch on. During startup, the screen shows your Trainer ID. Write it down—you'll use it to pair.

    <Warning>
      If the device is plugged in for charging, unplug it before starting a training session. The trainer won't begin training while charging to protect the battery.
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pair to your dashboard">
    Open your dashboard, go to Settings → Devices, and enter the Trainer ID to pair.

    <Check>
      Done correctly, your device appears under Settings → Devices. If it's already paired to another account, follow the ownership guidance in the FAQs or contact support.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect to Wi‑Fi (optional but recommended)">
    From the pairing page, follow the Wi‑Fi guide to connect the trainer to a 2.4 GHz network. This enables syncing and updates.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a training mode and start">
    Pick a simple template (for example, a short Endurance or Repetition segment) and press the start button on the device. Follow on‑screen prompts and indicators during the segment.

    <Tip>
      Keep early sessions short (1–3 segments). Focus on steady breathing and consistent pacing.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review your results">
    After the session, open your dashboard to see grades, points, and leaderboards. Use this feedback to adjust difficulty and templates.
