Bluetooth device doesn't work from a distance

Bluetooth range is about 33' (10 m). This range can be reduced by obstacles (i.e. walls, doors, pockets, nearby Bluetooth devices, etc.). Try moving the device and product closer together.

The headset may disconnect if the range from the device to the headset is too great. This would trigger the disconnection tone. For more information on the tones the headset may play, see Understanding the tones from your product.

Some wireless devices can cause interference with a Bluetooth signal. 
Common examples include:-

• 2.4 GHz router

If there are such devices, disconnect one at a time and check if the issue improves. If so, consider relocating your product or the device.
