To fast forward a Tonie on a Toniebox, you use the box’s tilt controls rather than buttons.

Basic fast forward and rewind

  • Place the Tonie figure on top of the Toniebox and wait until the story or music is playing normally.
  • Gently tilt the Toniebox to one side to fast forward within the current track or chapter.
  • Tilt it to the opposite side to rewind within the current track or chapter.

Important things to check

  • Make sure the Tonie has fully downloaded its content first; fast forward and rewind may not work correctly until the initial download is complete.
  • The tap / tilt controls can be changed or disabled in the Toniebox settings in the app, so if tilting does nothing, check that these features are enabled and then sync the settings to the box.

If fast forward still doesn’t work

  • Sync settings: In the app, enable tilt/tap controls, then press and hold one ear of the Toniebox (about 3 seconds) until the LED changes color to download the new settings.
  • Try firmer movements: Some users report that the box needs a clear, decisive tilt rather than a very soft movement for the fast forward/rewind to register.
