The Ultimate Guide to TOSY Flying Disc (LED & RGB): Setup, Controls & Pro-Tips

So you just unboxed your brand-new TOSY Flying Disc, but you aren't quite sure how to activate it or customize the light modes? Don't worry! This comprehensive guide is compiled directly from the official manufacturer's user manual to help you master your ultra-bright disc in just a few minutes.

1. Quick Overview: Which Model Do You Have?

The TOSY Ultimate Disc is available in two distinct high-performance models engineered to light up the night sky:

LED Model (Standard): Equipped with 36 LEDs, making it 100x brighter than any regular flying disc. It features 4 adjustable brightness levels and smart timer settings.
RGB Model (Premium): Features a massive setup of 108 LEDs (36 RGB packages of 3 LEDs each) capable of producing 16 Million Colors. It is 200x brighter than standard discs and includes extra buttons to customize color effects (Styles) and select solid single colors.

2. The Most Important Step: First-Time Activation (Unlocking Your Disc)

CRUCIAL NOTE: For transportation safety and retail display purposes, TOSY ships every disc in "Try-me" or "Locked" mode. If you do not unlock it, the disc will shut off almost instantly, which causes some users to mistake it for a defective battery.

How to unlock your new disc is incredibly simple:

Press any button on the underside of the disc.
Throw or spin the disc so that it flies at least 15 feet (or 5 meters) into the air.
Once thrown at this distance, the "Try-me" function automatically deactivates. From this point onward, the light will automatically start every single time you throw or spin the disc and stay on as per your selected Timer mode.

3. How to Navigate and Change Modes (Button Control Rules)

The rubber buttons on the underside of the disc follow a universal rule for quick adjustments:

Press a button once: Goes up to the next level/setting.
Press a button twice: Goes back to select your preferred previous level.

Available Modes on Both LED & RGB Discs:

BRIGHTNESS Modes Button: Cycles through 4 levels from 0 to 3 (No Light - Turns off LEDs completely for daytime play; Dim - Soft glow; Bright - High visibility; Super - Maximum brightness). Note: Battery life values are rated based on playing at the B1 (Dim) setting.
TIMER Modes Button: Determines how long the disc stays lit after flight (Game - Continuous play for matches; 7" - Shuts off after 7 seconds; 8" - Shuts off after 8 seconds; 120" - Stays lit for 120 seconds, perfect for finding your disc in dark bushes).

Exclusive Modes ONLY on the RGB Disc:

STYLE Modes Button: Cycles through 4 stunning visual effects (Mono Color - Solid single color; Dynamic - Fluidly shifting gradients; Rainbow - Vibrant multicolor trail; Random - Unpredictable patterns on every throw).
COLOR Button: When your disc is running on solid color mode (Mono Color), simply click this button to cycle through and select your favorite custom LED color.

4. Recharging Your Disc & Understanding Indicator Lights

Keeping your disc powered is simple with the modern built-in charging infrastructure:

Battery Indicator Light Status: When fully charged, the light glows Green. When the battery runs low, the light turns Red.
While Charging: The Battery Indicator Light will blink continuously. Once the disc reaches a full charge, the light stops blinking and remains solid Green.
Charging Time: It takes just 45 minutes to fully charge, delivering up to 3,000 throws at B1 and T1 modes.
How to Recharge: Use the provided USB-C cable to connect the charging port on the disc to a computer's USB port or a standard USB wall charger.
Quick Tip from TOSY: Simply use your fingernail to easily pry open the rubber lid of the charging port. There is absolutely no need to unscrew the lid.

5. How to Turn It Off & Quality Maintenance

Automatic Shutoff: The TOSY Flying Disc is smart—it will automatically turn off after 10 minutes if it does not move. You do not need to manually turn it off after every casual session.
Manual Shutoff: If you want to force-shut it down before packing it away, press and hold any of the 4 buttons on the disc for 3 seconds.
Quality Maintenance: The TOSY Ultimate Disc is designed to withstand substantial impacts just like any regular disc. However, to maximize the lifespan of the internal electronics, it is highly recommended to throw the disc on soft ground or grass only, and avoid harsh, high-velocity impacts against hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt.
