Understanding the LED color indicators during training sessions
Your Deepthroat Trainer uses a strip of RGB LEDs to provide instant visual feedback during training. The colors indicate your current position relative to the target zone, helping you adjust in real-time without looking at the display.
LED colors during training
| Color | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Green | In the target zone | Hold this position — you're doing great |
| Yellow | Ahead of target | Move deeper to reach the target zone |
| Red | Behind target | You've gone too deep or lost position |
Keep your focus on maintaining green. The LED provides faster feedback than reading the display, making it easier to stay in rhythm.
Position states explained
The trainer continuously monitors your position and categorizes it into three states:
In Window (Green)
Your current position is within the target window defined by your training segment. This is where you want to be.
- For Repetition and Bounce modes: You're matching the target movement pattern
- For Endurance mode: You're holding at the correct depth
- For Freeform mode: You're maintaining the target RPM range
Ahead (Yellow)
You're shallower than the target position. The trainer is waiting for you to move deeper.
- In paced modes, this often means you're moving faster than the target
- Slow down and let the target catch up to your position
Behind (Red)
You've moved past the target zone, typically too deep.
- In paced modes, this means you've moved ahead of the target timing
- Pull back and re-sync with the target pattern
LED colors at other times
| Context | Color | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome/Idle | Blue | Device is ready and waiting |
| Session Complete | Magenta | Training finished — well done! |
| Failed Segment | Red | Segment failed (if Pass/Fail enabled) |
| Grade Display | Green/Yellow/Red | Reflects your grade percentage |
Grade screen colors
After completing a segment, the LED color reflects your performance:
| Grade | LED Color |
|---|---|
| 70% and above | Green |
| 40% – 69% | Yellow |
| Below 40% | Red |
A grade of exactly 69% shows green as a special case (Nice!).
Using LED feedback effectively
During Repetition Mode
Watch for the LED to stay green throughout each rep. If it flickers to yellow or red, adjust your pace to better match the on-screen target.
During Endurance Mode
The LED should remain solid green while holding position. Any flicker indicates you're drifting out of the target zone.
During Freeform Mode
Green indicates you're maintaining the target RPM. Yellow or red means you need to adjust your pace.
During Bounce Mode
Since Bounce requires controlled movement in both directions, watch for the LED to stay green through both the insertion and withdrawal phases.
Troubleshooting
- Check that the device is powered on and not in a menu screen
- The LED only activates during active training segments
- Try power-cycling the device
You're moving near the boundary of the target zone. Try to settle into a more stable position well within the zone rather than at its edge.
- Ensure calibration was completed correctly
- The sensor may not be detecting movement — check toy positioning
- Try recalibrating from the settings
