Garmin 810 - Smartphone Pairing

[John Edmondson]

Hi!
I have a new phone (lost my old one...). My Garmin 810 is still paired with my old phone and it does not give me the option of pairing with more than 1 smartphone or removing the existing paired phone?!

The Garmin help literature suggests that you can un-pair devices by removing via your Bluetooth settings on your phone but I've lost my original phone so that's useless to me.

Technology.... Any suggestions warmly recieved, thank you :-)

Would a "hard reset" on the Garmin also reset the Bluetooth settings?

I've got the 520 Edge and I go to:
Settings>Bluetooth>Smartphone Galaxy S6>Forget Phone.

Is that not available on the 810?

Would a "hard reset" on the Garmin also reset the Bluetooth settings?

According to Garmin Support, yes it would but I would loose all data so I will backup data on PC and will try that, thank you. Bit of a poor show from the Garmin lads if you can't impair devices without resetting the firmware!?

I had a new phone the other week. I also have a garmin 810.

On the garmin press the spanner icon
Bluetooth
Name of phone (smartphone iPhone in my case)
Forget phone.

Then just pair the other one.

I've been on the Bluetooth menu loads and never spotted the 'forget' button..! Duh... All sorted now. Many thanks all! :-)

We've all done it at one time or another!
