Question

Pairing headset again

i’ve had my headset for almost a year now and I got off it for 10 months almost and now none of my things are working. I only have one controller too. It’s my controller and it’s not pairing, and it says the code above it and then it says like to pull out the paper tabs, but I’ve had it for a year and I don’t have any paper tabs and it’s not letting me do anything else because it’s stuck on that screen. I can’t do anything I can’t press any single singular button, and it doesn’t work.

Hi Sophiaissilly​ 🙂

the "pull out tab" screen is not such a big problem, it will go away after waiting a while - maybe ten minutes - and you can pair the controllers manually. 

Pair and unpair Meta Quest Touch controllers

But you'll need two controllers to complete the setup, it won't work if you only have one.

Maybe you can borrow a controller from a friend or family member to finish the setup?

If that's not possible, you must buy a second controller either on the Meta web store or a use one  on ebay
