Operating Your Echo Frames

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Echo Frames.

Cleaning

Use the provided cleaning cloth to gently wipe the lenses and frames. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the blue light filtering lenses or the frame finish.

Storage and Temperature

Store your Echo Frames in their carrying case when not in use to protect them from scratches and impacts. Avoid exposing the smart glasses or charging stand to extreme heat or cold. The optimal operating temperature range is 0–35°C (32–95°F). Do not leave them in a hot car, as this can damage the Italian acetate frames.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Echo Frames, try the following common solutions:

• No Audio/Poor Audio Quality: Ensure the frames are charged. Check Bluetooth connection to your phone. Adjust volume settings on your phone or through Alexa.
• Alexa Not Responding: Verify your phone has an active internet connection. Ensure microphones are not muted (double-press action button). Try restarting your phone and the Echo Frames.
• Connectivity Issues: Re-pair the Echo Frames with your smartphone via Bluetooth. Ensure the Alexa app is up to date.
• Battery Draining Quickly: Reduce continuous media playback or talk time. Ensure the frames are fully charged before use.
