3. The message "Do you want to disconnect Gamr<mac address>?" appears.
4. Select Disconnect.

Step 3: Unpair your GAMR Play Pad

1. Select your Play Pad in the list again.
2. The message "Unpair Gamr<mac address>?" appears.

Step 4: Scan and pair again

1. Select Scan.
2. Wait while the TV shows "Scanning for Bluetooth devices in pairing mode…"
