If the A/T Arm is OFF after TO/GA selection, what must you do to set a proper go-around thrust?

The go-around needs specific go-around thrust to climb safely. On the 737, autothrottle must be armed to command that thrust automatically in TO/GA mode. If the A/T Arm switch is OFF after selecting TO/GA, the autothrottle will not move the engines, so you must physically set the thrust yourself by moving both thrust levers to the TOGA detent. This provides the required go-around thrust immediately, ensuring an appropriate climb performance. After setting manual go-around thrust, you can re-arm the autothrottle if you want it to take over again later.
