You must read these safety instructions and warnings before using or charging your batteries.
Capsule lights use rechargeable lithium ion batteries. Lithium ion batteries might cause damages like
leaking, re or explosion when misused or defective. Failure to read and follow the below instructions
may result in re, personal injury and damage to property if charged or used improperly or if defective.
Please read carefully and be aware!
• Always charge in an isolated area, away from other ammable materials like wood or carpet. Never
charge batteries unattended.
• Please double check your charger to assure it is operating correctly at the beginning of every charge
cycle. If your charger or battery becomes hot, balloons/swells, emits smoke or smells unusual, STOP
CHARGING IMMEDIATELY. Observe the battery for 15 minutes in a safe area outside of any building or
vehicle and away from any combustible material to assure that it does not ignite, and please contact us.
• Some microUSB chargers on the market may have technical deciencies that may cause them to
charge Li-ion batteries incorrectly or at an improper rate. It is your responsibility solely to assure the
charger you purchased works properly. Always monitor charging process to assure batteries are being
charged properly.
• Do NOT disassemble or modify the battery. Vibration, puncture, contact with metals, exposure to liquid
or tampering with the battery can cause it to fail. The battery contains safety and protection devices,
which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, ignite, or short circuit. Severe
injury may occur.
• Store in a cool, dry place. Never store or charge batteries in extreme temperatures, such as a hot car;
near heat sources or re; or in pressurized or very cold environments.
• Keep away from children.
• If the battery leaks and the uid gets into your eye, do not rub your eye. Rinse well with water and im-
mediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery uid could cause damage to the eye.

SAFEGUARDS AND PRECAUTIONS
This guide outlines basic safeguards in using your owtoys. The information presented cannot cover all possible circum-
stances that may occur. In using any owtoy, the user understands that common sense and caution cannot be built into the
product, and must be provided by him/herself. Please read all instructions before using your toys.
1. Flowtoys are intended for practice, play, performance and meditation. Do not use for any other purpose.

would impair your judgment or reexes. If so, do not use this product.
3. Stay alert and use common sense. Do not use this product when tired or distracted. Be aware when in the presence of
fragile or breakable objects.
BEFORE USE: Check for damaged parts before using any product. Ensure caps, connectors and battery doors are fully
secured. Most owtoys are made of individual pieces that can separate during use if not properly assembled.
GENERAL CARE: Repair or replace damaged or worn parts before use. Do not use damaged products.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE: Maintain all Flowtoys products with care. Store in a clean, dry environment. Avoid

Charging the battery: There is a microUSB jack on the side of the capsule light. Charge with a
standard microUSB cable. Light should turn on and begin “breathing” in its charge-level color.
When charging, the indicator light is not entirely accurate until it’s fully charged and green. If
your light is NOT grouped, it will turn green when fully charged for a few minutes, then it will
shut o to save power. You can check the charge level to see if it’s fully charged.
The capsule light takes 3-4 hours to fully charge, but 90% of the charge happens in 2 hours. You
can leave your capsule on as it charges for an excellent mood/nightlight. It may take 4+ hours to
fully charge if running while charging. Bright modes may prevent full charge, and may deplete
the battery, even while plugged into the charger.
Checking your battery charge level: When o, press and hold the button. The light will blink
a color indicating your charge level - ranging from red to green - until you let go. Your battery
may be low when you rst receive your lights - if so, please charge before use.
Red = really low, less than 10% left
Orange = OK, maybe 50% left
Yellow = should last a while, 50-90%
Green = good to go! 90% or more
Note: Colors are approximate. Runtimes vary
greatly with dierent modes.
Low battery mode: When the battery gets low, the light will exhibit a dim red icker for awhile,
so your light doesn’t go totally dark immediately.
Dead battery indicator: If your light blinks red and turns o, the battery is totally out of juice.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your capsule does not respond even when plugged in, the rm-
ware may have crashed. You can perform a soft reset by using a
small metal object like tweezers, or a key, to bridge the reset pads.
You will not damage the light.
Tip: Capsules are not waterproof! But if you drop
them in water, it’s often possible to save them.
Open, rinse with fresh water and dry ASAP! Visit

Overview

1. Function Description
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

The Flowtoys Capsule 2.0 is a versatile and durable lighting device designed for practice, play, performance, and meditation. It features a compact design with a microUSB charging jack, a leash port, and a button for control. The device incorporates custom LEDs and a radio module, allowing for a wide range of lighting effects and potential connectivity with other capsules.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Capsule 2.0 is to provide dynamic and customizable illumination. It is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, offering portability and extended use. The device's custom LEDs can display various colors and patterns, making it suitable for artistic expression and visual enhancement during activities. The integrated radio module suggests potential for synchronized light shows or remote control, enhancing its utility in performances or group settings.

Usage Features:

• Powering On/Off and Charging: The capsule is charged via a standard microUSB cable connected to its side jack. During charging, the light will "breathe" in its charge-level color. The indicator light is most accurate when fully charged, turning green for a few minutes before shutting off (if not grouped) to save power. Full charge typically takes 3-4 hours, with 90% of the charge occurring within 2 hours. It can be left plugged in as a mood/nightlight, though bright modes may prevent full charge or even deplete the battery while charging.
• Battery Level Check: To check the battery level, press and hold the button when the device is off. The light will blink a color indicating the charge level, ranging from red (less than 10%) to green (90% or more). Orange indicates approximately 50% charge, and yellow suggests 50-90%. These colors are approximate, and runtimes vary by mode.
• Low Battery Indication: When the battery is low, the light will display a dim red flicker before going completely dark. A red blink followed by the light turning off indicates a completely drained battery.
• Connectivity: The capsule link feature allows for connecting two capsules, potentially expanding the lighting possibilities and creating more complex visual arrangements. The leash port, secured with a washer, enables attachment to other equipment or for spinning.
• Troubleshooting: In case the capsule does not respond, even when plugged in, a soft reset can be performed. This involves bridging the reset pads with a small metal object like tweezers or a key. This action will not damage the light.

Maintenance Features:

• General Care: Flowtoys are designed for longevity, and regular maintenance is encouraged. This includes repairing or replacing damaged or worn parts before use and storing the product in a clean, dry environment. Avoiding unnecessary exposure to sunlight is recommended, as UV rays can weaken plastics over time.
• Battery Safety: The device uses rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which require careful handling. Charging should always occur in an isolated area, away from flammable materials like wood or carpet, and never unattended. Users should monitor the charging process and immediately stop charging if the battery becomes hot, swells, emits smoke, or smells unusual. It is crucial to use a properly functioning charger and to monitor the charging process. The battery should not be disassembled or modified, as vibration, puncture, contact with metals, liquid exposure, or tampering can cause failure, leading to heat, explosion, or short circuits.
• Storage: Store the capsule in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures (hot cars, heat sources, fire, or very cold environments) and out of reach of children.
• Water Exposure: While not waterproof, if the capsule is dropped in water, it may be possible to save it by opening it, rinsing with fresh water, and drying it as soon as possible.
• Lifetime Warranty: Flowtoys offers a lifetime warranty, providing free replacements for defective or non-working parts due under normal use. Additionally, a 50% credit is offered for products in any condition at any time. This warranty encourages users to freely explore and use their flowtoys without excessive worry about damage.
