Troubleshooting Tips
If you receive an error saying your reader failed to pair, you may need to open the Bluetooth settings for your device (or any other device that has been connected to the reader) and select “forget.” Then repeat the steps to pair.
If Stax does not detect your reader when trying to pair, its battery may be too low. Charge your reader before trying to pair again.
If you still encounter difficulties with your reader, please refer to Square’s documentation or contact Square’s technical support.
