GAMR Play Pad not showing on Android TV

If your GAMR Play Pad doesn’t appear in the list of available Bluetooth devices on your Android TV, here are a few things you can check.

Step 1: Make sure your Play Pad is in pairing mode

1. Press and hold the Power button on the headboard of your GAMR Play Pad.
2. Confirm that the GAMR "G" logo is blinking.
3. A blinking "G" logo means pairing mode is active and your Play Pad is discoverable.

Step 2: Forget the Play Pad on any other device

Your Play Pad can only be connected to one device at a time. If it is still connected to a phone, laptop or tablet, your TV will not see it.

1. On that device, open Bluetooth settings.
2. Select Gamr<mac address> in the list of devices.
3. Tap Forget This Device.
4. Confirm by tapping Forget Device.

Step 3: Move your Play Pad closer to the TV

1. Keep your GAMR Play Pad closer to your Android TV.
2. Keeping the two closer together during pairing gives a stronger Bluetooth signal.

Step 4: Close and reopen the menu

If you still don’t see your Play Pad in the list:

1. Close the Quick Settings menu on your Android TV.
2. Open it again.
3. Select Bluetooth Devices.

Step 5: Scan and pair your Play Pad

1. Wait while the TV shows "Scanning for Bluetooth devices in pairing mode…"
2. Look for Gamr<mac address> under Available Devices, shown with the status Needs pairing.
3. Select Gamr<mac address>.
4. Select Pair and connect.
5. Wait a few seconds while the TV shows "Connecting to Gamr<mac address>…"

Step 6: Confirm the connection

1. Your Play Pad appears under Paired Devices with the status Connected.
2. The blinking "G" logo turns into a steady glow on your GAMR Play Pad.
