Your Deepthroat Trainer has a single front button that handles all device interactions. Different press types trigger different actions depending on the current screen.

​
Button press types

​
Button actions by screen

​
Startup & Navigation

Long-press during the welcome screen to enter Wi-Fi configuration mode. This is useful if you need to change networks.
The device screen may display “hold to launch settings page”—this refers specifically to Wi-Fi settings. There is no general settings menu on the device itself. Training configuration (templates, modes, toys) is managed through your dashboard.

​
Pre-Training Screens

Long-press on detail screens lets you skip directly to training. Useful if you’ve already reviewed the session info.

​
During Training

During active training, the button is generally inactive to prevent accidental interruptions.

​
Pass/Fail Screens

​
Session Complete

​
Hands-Free Mode

When Hands-Free Mode is enabled in your template (Ultra subscription), many screens advance automatically without button presses:
  • Detail screens timeout and advance automatically
  • Segments progress without manual confirmation
  • Grade screens advance after the timeout period
Hands-Free Mode is ideal for longer sessions where you don’t want to interrupt training to press buttons.

​
Wi-Fi Setup Mode

In Wi-Fi setup mode:
  • The device creates a “Trainer Setup” network
  • Connect to this network from your phone/computer
  • Follow the captive portal to enter your Wi-Fi credentials

​
Special behaviors

​
Charging restriction

In production firmware, the device won’t start a training session while charging. Unplug the charger to begin training.

​
Button disabled states

The button is intentionally disabled during:
  • Active training (to prevent accidental stops)
  • System operations (updates, provisioning)
  • Countdown sequences

​
Troubleshooting

  • Check if you’re on a screen where the button is disabled
  • Try a longer press (some actions require long-press)
  • Power cycle the device if completely unresponsive
  • Ensure you’re using the correct press type (short vs. long)
  • Wait for the screen to fully load before pressing
  • Some screens have different timeout behaviors
You must be on the welcome screen to enter Wi-Fi setup. If you’ve already passed the welcome screen:
  1. Power cycle the device
  2. Wait for the welcome screen to appear
  3. Long-press before it times out
