Ray-Ban Meta: How to Power Off, Force Restart and Reset

Quick summary: Ray-Ban Meta glasses have a small power switch on the inside of the left arm. It’s the key to powering them off and to force restarting them. A factory reset uses the capture button.

How to power them off

1. Find the switch on the inside of the left arm.
2. Slide it off. You’ll see a red mark. They won’t turn on no matter what you do, which is handy for saving battery or when you don’t want them on.
3. To turn them back on, slide the switch back so the red mark disappears. Give them a few seconds to boot and reconnect to your phone.

How to force restart them

The steps are also in the Meta AI app: tap the glasses at the bottom right, tap your glasses, then General > Force restart.

1. Turn the power switch off.
2. Press and hold the capture button, the button on top of the right arm.
3. While still holding it, slide the power switch on.
4. Keep holding until the LED turns on, then let go. The glasses restart.

How to factory reset them

Do this before you sell them or give them to someone.

1. Fold the arms closed.
2. Press the capture button 5 times. The light turns orange.
3. Then press and hold the capture button for 5 seconds until the light starts pulsing, and let go.
4. Wait about 30 seconds. They reset and are ready to set up again.
