FAQ

Due to shipping restrictions related to batteries, we aren’t allowed to deliver our gloves more than 30% charged. If it won’t turn on when it arrives, chances are you just need to charge it up using the included micro-USB charging cable and wall plug.

The meanings of the different LED colours and patterns are explained below:

Long blue pulses - The glove is turned on and waiting to connect

Short blue flashes - The glove is turned on and connected

Red flashes once (when you try to turn it on) - The glove is out of power and needs charging before use

Red flashes with blue (when turned on) - The glove’s battery is low - you will need to charge it soon

On some smart devices, connecting the TOKK speaker can cause the glove to disconnect. This is due to a limitation of the Bluetooth support on your smart device. If you experience this issue, please ensure that you connect the TOKK speaker before the glove, or alternatively, restart the app and then reconnect the glove after it has disconnected.

Ensure that you have Bluetooth and Location Services enabled on your smart device and have also granted all of the permissions requested by the app. When you first pair your glove and when you teach it your signs, the app needs to be able to connect to the internet (mobile data or Wi-Fi) in order to ensure that the glove firmware is up to date. If you still experience issues, please contact us and include your unique glove ID, shown on the warranty information leaflet in the box.

Ensure that the phone is connected to the internet and has a good connection. Try selecting a different language, and performing a different sign.

Please make sure that you perform each sign as consistently as possible. If you have two signs that are very similar, the glove may have difficulty telling them apart.

Try force closing the app and turn the glove off and on again. If the app won’t close, turn the phone off and on again too.

You can use a damp cloth to clean the textile portion of the glove, but it can’t be machine washed at home due to the sensitive electronics. However, we do offer a machine washing service with pick-up and collection of your glove included. If you want us to wash your glove, please get in touch with us to book a collection.
