# Change a device name

You can change the Pearl device name that appears in Epiphan Edge from the Device Details page.

You can also rename a paired EC20 camera from its Device Details page in the same way.

Alphanumerical characters and spaces are accepted; however, we recommend using underscores to separate words instead of spaces. Common character sets for Western and Central European languages, Nordic languages, and Russian should display correctly. Names should not include the following special characters: ^ < > / \ ? * : " |

| Changes made using Epiphan Edge take some time to update on the device and to be reflected in other interfaces so please be patient. |
