Technical Support
My TIMIO is not working properly, what should I do?
TM02-02 and TM03-03 (Battery operated device):
- Please try changing the batteries with new ones. Only use high quality batteries. Generic and inexpensive store brand batteries are weaker and will empty fast.
- Does the issue occur with every disc? Please test several discs, as it could be just one defective disc.
- Check that the SD card located in the battery compartment is in its place. You can remove it and put it back a couple of times to insure proper placement, then try your device again.
TM04-04 (rechargeable device):
- Connect your TIMIO to your computer with the provided USB-A to USB-C cable:
The green LED light next to the battery symbol should start blinking every 3 seconds. This means that the battery is being charged.
If you still experience issues after charging please contact us timio@timio.co
My TIMIO is not reading the correct file.
TIMIO requires one full second to recognize the position of the disc. If you press too quickly, it may play the wrong file. TIMIO corrects itself automatically after one second. So when you put the disc just wait one more second before pressing an image. In fact TIMIO scans the position of the disc every 3 seconds, so it will always play the correct file.
One of the discs is not working, what should I do?
It's possible that the RFID tag in the disc is not programmed correctly. Please send us a picture of the disc along with your address to timio@timio.co, we'll replace it.
