Hey I have just purchased square and after pairing it displays ‘pairing failed-reader not ready’

I have tried several times to make it work.

I tried resetting the device

Logging in and out again and again

Restarting my phone

but nothing seems to be working properly.

kindly help me as it is very frustrating.
