Important: accept every permission the Hi Rokid app requests so it can work properly. Declining any permission will prevent the glasses from connecting.

Updating the glasses' firmware

Before updating the firmware, plug in the glasses to charge to avoid an interruption mid-update.

Pairing with a new phone

Each pair of glasses can only be paired with one phone at a time. To switch to a new phone, simply repeat the pairing steps in Step 3.

Before pairing with a new phone, download any photos or videos stored on the glasses first to avoid losing your data.

Troubleshooting pairing issues

• Make sure the glasses are powered on — put them on; if you hear a sound, they're on.
• Make sure Bluetooth on your phone is on and stays on during pairing.
• The glasses may be out of battery — charge them and try again.
• If pairing still fails, press and hold the function button for 12 seconds to force the glasses to restart.

Once connected, don't quickly press the power button 3 times again — doing so will put the glasses back into pairing mode and disconnect your current connection.
