New R10 stays in Standby Mode

I've just got a R10. All updated software and apps. Pared and re-paired several times with my Samsung S22 (OS 13).  The unit first seemed to be stuck with the "blue light" flashing.  After re-paring, the R10 now stays in "standby mode".  The blinking "green light" has never been on to read a shot. However, the only time I see the "green light" is when the unit is turned on and it doesn't blink to let me know it is ready to use.  Am I missing a step?  The manual doesn't address this concern and it is a little frustrating spending hours trying to figure out the solution.   Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
