Unpairing a Credit Card Reader

Before unpairing your card reader, first ensure your card reader is turned off by holding the power button until the power light turns off. Once complete, there are two ways to disconnect a bluetooth device from your mobile device:

  1. (iOS)
    Go to iOS Settings > Bluetooth > Select the information icon next to the device > Forget This Device

    (Android)
    Go to Android Settings > Connected Devices > Select the gear icon next to the device > Forget Device

  2. If the first method is unsuccessful, set your mobile device to Airplane mode for a few moments. Once you take Airplane mode off, the device should be disconnected.
