Explore common issues and troubleshooting steps for resolving calibration problems with Focals by North in this comprehensive user guide.

Why won’t Focals by North calibrate properly?

 

Possible Reasons for Calibration Issues

 

  • Incorrect Alignment: Focals by North glasses rely on precise alignment to properly project images on the lens. Misalignment can occur easily and might result in calibration failures.
  •  

  • Environmental Factors: Calibration may be affected by factors such as lighting conditions or reflective surfaces. The device may not function optimally in overly bright or dark environments.
  •  

  • Software Glitches: Software or firmware issues could disrupt the calibration process, leading to persistent problems.
  •  

  • User Setup Issues: Incorrect positioning on your face or improper fitting could lead to issues with calibration, as the glasses need to sit correctly for the optics to align.

 

Steps to Fix Calibration Problems

 

  • Adjust Alignment: Make sure the glasses are properly aligned with your eyes. Try adjusting the position on your nose and ears to ensure the lenses are positioned correctly.
  •  

  • Optimize Environment: Attempt to recalibrate the glasses in a controlled lighting environment. Avoid areas with strong glare or reflective surfaces.
  •  

  • Update Software: Check for any available software updates for the Focals app or glasses. Developers regularly release updates to fix bugs and improve functionality, including calibration.
  •  

  • Consult Instructions: Refer to the original calibration instructions provided by North. Ensure you are following each step accurately for best results.
  •  

  • Contact Support: If the problem persists, contact the manufacturer’s customer support. They may have additional troubleshooting steps or repair solutions.

 

Prevent Future Calibration Issues

 

  • Regular Maintenance: Routinely check the alignment and fitting of your Focals glasses to ensure they remain in good condition.
  •  

  • Environment Awareness: Be mindful of the environment you are in when using the glasses. Avoid extreme lighting conditions which may impact the device's performance.
  •  

  • Stay Updated: Regularly check for app and firmware updates to keep the glasses running efficiently and with the latest bug fixes.
