# Unlinking a node

To unlink a node: 

* Click on the linked node in the “Linked Devices” list.

* Click “OK” in the pop-up window asking you to unlink the node.

* Wait until the node has been unlinked and shown in “Unlinked Devices” list. This can take some time depending on the node communication interval.

To speed this up you can either press the node Send/Reset button (if applicable) or temporarily remove the battery/disconnect power from the node for about 15 seconds and then connect the battery/power again. The node will start to communicate with the gateway just after startup and will be unlinked. As an unlinked node, it will start blinking its LED rapidly.

Note that an unlinked node will drain the batteries rapidly, so please make sure to remove the batteries or link the node to another gateway as soon as possible.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.boomerang3.com/win-gateway-installation-manual/link-unlink-node-with-gateway/unlinking-a-node.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
