Factory reset erases content.
Import or back up captures that matter before continuing. A factory reset also returns settings to factory state and requires pairing again.
Factory reset Ray-Ban Meta / Oakley Meta
- Remove the glasses from their case. Make sure they are charged and powered on.
- Close both arms.
- With the arms folded, press the capture button five times. The LED turns orange.
- Press and hold the capture button. Release it when the LED flashes.
That is the published reset sequence. The supplied notes describe a short timing window and waiting for a later white/blue/off sequence; those extra details aren’t in the current Meta steps, so don’t rely on them over the official procedure.
Try a force restart first
Meta says a force restart does not delete photos or videos and does not require pairing again.
- Slide the power switch back to turn the glasses off.
- Press and hold the capture button.
- While holding capture, slide the power switch forward to turn the glasses on.
- Release capture as soon as the status LED turns red. If it does not turn red, slide power off and repeat.
A regular restart is simpler: switch the glasses off, wait a few seconds, then turn them on again.
