# Troubleshooting guardian zone issues

## If you're having trouble setting up Guardian with your Meta Quest 2, try the following:

Playing area

- Check to make sure your play area is at least 3 feet by 3 feet (1 meter by 1 meter).
- Move any objects that may keep you from setting your boundaries (for example: table, couch).

Touch Controllers

- Make sure to hold down the trigger on your Touch controller while setting your boundaries.
- Check to make sure you're not blocking the tracking ring of your Touch controller with your hands or body when setting your boundaries.
- Make sure the batteries in your Touch controllers are not low.

If your guardian was working before and you are experiencing new issues, reassure the following: 

1. Playing environment is too bright, adjust the intensity of lights, try turning some lights off, step-off direct sun exposure or use curtains/blinders to reduce the brightness
2. Playing environment is too dark, turn some light on, open curtains/blinders
3. Playing environment contains reflective surfaces, cover the reflective surfaces while playing, play in a different location
4. Dirty tracking cameras, clean the tracking cameras by following [these recommendations](https://store.facebook.com/en-gb/help/quest/articles/headsets-and-accessories/product-care-and-best-practices/)
5. Clear your guardian history:  
     - Press the Oculus logo on your right controller
     - Click on the clock on the left side of the universal menu
     - Select **Settings**
     - In the settings panel, select **Guardian**
     - Select '**Clear Guardian history**'
     - Redraw your Guardian boundaries by selecting '**Adjust Guardian**' from the Guardian settings menu
