META GLASSES // QUICK START
Pair. Run. Hand off. — Field issue guidance for teams (Ray-Ban / Meta AI glasses)
Arrows or buttons to move. Space toggles pause. “F” fullscreen.
*All references are for staged / training use only.
Bring / Confirm
Glasses + Case: You need the Ray-Ban / Meta smart glasses and the charging case.
USB-C Cable: Cable available and not dead.
Phone: iOS or Android that will own this pair.
App: Install the official Meta AI / Ray-Ban companion app from App Store or Google Play before pairing.
Power First
Put glasses in the case and charge until the case LED reads full. Glasses should have some charge before first power-on. Turn on Bluetooth on the phone. Open the Meta AI app and allow permissions (Bluetooth, mic, camera, location if asked). Goal: when we start pairing, nothing is dead, nothing is blocked.
If it’s not charged and the app’s not loaded, you’re burning team time.

Put Glasses in Pairing Mode
Power on: Turn the glasses on (power/arm switch toward lens until the LED blinks, then goes solid).
No auto-pair? Press and hold the button on the back of the charging case for ~5 seconds. That forces pairing mode.
Phone ready: Bluetooth ON. Meta AI app open.
Add Device in App
In app: Go to Devices (or “+”). Pick the glasses model.
Follow prompts: The app will walk you through linking. You should see a success screen and a device entry when done.
Onboard: Let it finish firmware updates, set voice activation, media storage, auto-upload, etc.
End state: glasses talk to THIS phone. Photos/video land where you expect.
2 / 6
Before You Step Off
Battery > 80%. Glasses + phone. No dead kit in the wild.
Test capture: Take one photo or short clip through the glasses. Verify it shows up in the app.
Voice check: Try one quick voice command. Confirm audio comes through.
Log it: Write down which phone owns which glasses (serial / phone name / time issued).
Why We Log
This is chain of custody for media. Later, when we build the after-action packet, we know exactly which unit saw / recorded which moment. No guessing. No “who had which pair?” drama.
If it’s not logged, it didn’t happen. Treat media like evidence.

If You Still Have the Original Phone
In Meta AI app: Devices → pick the glasses → “Remove” / “Unpair”.
In Bluetooth settings: Forget that device on the phone.
Now a new phone can pair normally (repeat the pairing steps).
If You DON'T Have the Original Phone
Factory reset glasses: Use the device’s button sequence (capture button + power hold per vendor instructions) until LEDs confirm reset.
Reset case: Remove glasses, press/hold case button ~16 sec until LED cycles. That clears old link info.
Re-pair: Treat it like brand new. Pair to the new phone in the Meta AI app.
Glasses are locked to one account at a time. Reset = new owner.

Common Fixes
App can’t find glasses: Make sure Bluetooth is ON, glasses charged ≥20%, and hold the case button ~5 sec to force pairing mode. Try again.
Firmware update fails: Reboot the phone, reopen the app, stand in good Wi-Fi, retry update.
Still stuck? Forget the device in Bluetooth, factory reset glasses + case, then re-pair clean.
Time Cost
If you’re chewing >10 minutes on pairing mid-scenario, swap to backup glasses or backup phone and move. The exercise timeline wins over tech stubbornness.
Don’t stall the whole cell over one stubborn pair. Swap out and keep moving.
5 / 6
Account Ownership
One phone = one account = one pair. Glasses link to a single Meta account at a time. Handing glasses between people means you’re letting them use that account.
Personal vs Event: Do not record personal content on an event device, and don’t log event footage to a personal account.
Auto-upload: Check the app settings. Know where the media is going.
Field Discipline
Log who has which pair, when.
Keep all footage professional and in bounds with venue rules / local law.
When done: Either unpair cleanly or factory reset before handing to a different user.
Control your media trail. Respect location policies. Be the adult in the room.
