Try the following methods to fix the "out of range" issue on your landline:
1. Reset the base unit: Unplug the base unit from the power for about 1 minute, then plug it back in. This can help to reset the system which may resolve the issue.
2. Reset the handset: Remove the batteries from the handset for about 1 minute, then put them back in. This can also help to reset the system which may solve the problem.
3. Relocate the base unit: The base unit should be located in a central location in your home, away from other electronic equipment. If the base unit is located too close to other electronic devices or too far from the handsets, it could cause the "out of range" message.
4. Check for interference: Other electronic devices such as WiFi routers, TVs, computers, or other cordless phones, can interfere with the signal between your handset and base unit. Turn off these devices and check if the problem persists.
5. Try to re-register the handset to the base unit: Sometimes, the handset may lose its registration with the base unit, causing an "out of range" message to appear. Consult the user guide of your phone for instructions on how to re-register the handset.
6. Limit the number of devices: The more devices using the telephone line, the weaker the signal becomes for other devices.
7. Change the channel: Some cordless phones have a channel switch that lets you change the phone's channel to reduce interference.
If none of these methods work, it might be a problem with the phone itself. Consider contacting BT or the phone manufacturer for further assistance.

There can be several reasons why your BT phone keeps saying "out of range," including:
1. Distance: The most common reason is that you are too far away from the base station or the phone's connected device. Check if you have gone out of the recommended range for a stable connection.
2. Obstacles: Physical obstacles such as walls, furniture, or other wireless devices can weaken the signal strength and result in an "out of range" message. Ensure there are no large obstructions between the phone and the base station.
3. Battery: Low battery levels on either the phone or base station can cause the phone to lose connection or display an "out of range" message. Check and charge the batteries if necessary.
4. Interference: Other wireless devices operating on similar frequencies, such as Wi-Fi routers, cordless phones, baby monitors, or microwave ovens, can interfere with the BT phone's signal. Try to minimize interference by keeping such devices away from the phone.
5. Pairing issues: If the BT phone is not properly paired or connected to the base station, it may display an "out of range" message. Ensure that the phone is correctly paired and in range of the base station.
6. Firmware or software issues: Occasionally, the phone's firmware or software may cause connectivity problems. Check if there are any software updates available for your BT phone and perform them if necessary.
If the issue persists, you may need to consult the user manual or reach out to BT customer support for further assistance.

To reset your BT (British Telecom) landline, you can follow these general steps:
1. Unplug all connected devices from your landline, such as phones, fax machines, and modems.
2. Locate the main phone socket in your property. This is usually the socket where the phone line enters the building.
3. Carefully remove the faceplate of the main socket by unscrewing it. This will reveal the test socket underneath.
4. Plug your phone directly into the test socket, using a standard phone cable. If your phone doesn't have a standard cable, you can usually find an adapter at a local electronics store.
5. Check if there is a dial tone when you pick up the phone. If you hear a dial tone, it indicates that the issue might be with your internal wiring or connected devices. In this case, you should consult a professional or contact BT for further assistance.
6. If you don't hear a dial tone when directly connected to the test socket, the problem might be with the BT line or external factors. In this situation, you should contact BT's customer support for troubleshooting or to report the issue.
Keep in mind that these steps serve as a general guide. If you encounter any issues or have specific requirements related to your BT landline, it's always recommended to consult BT's official support channels for accurate guidance.

There could be several reasons why your BT phone base is not charging. Here are a few possible causes and solutions to try:
1. Check the power source: Ensure that the power outlet you are using is working by plugging in another device to confirm. If the outlet is functional, move on to the next step.
2. Check the power adapter: Ensure that the power adapter is securely connected to both the phone base and the power outlet. Sometimes, the connection can become loose, resulting in a lack of charging. Try unplugging and replugging the adapter to ensure a snug fit.
3. Faulty power adapter or cable: Check if the power adapter or cable is damaged. Inspect them for any signs of wear and tear, such as frayed wires or bent connectors. If you notice any issues, try using a different power adapter or cable to see if that resolves the problem.
4. Reset the phone base: Some phone bases have a reset button or procedure. Consult your BT phone base's user manual to find the appropriate steps to reset it. Performing a reset might resolve any temporary issues causing the charging problem.
5. Check for debris: Inspect the charging port on the phone base and the handset to ensure there is no dust, dirt, or debris obstructing the connection. Sometimes, accumulation over time can prevent proper charging. Gently clean the port using compressed air or a soft brush and try charging again.
6. Faulty battery: If none of the above steps work, there may be an issue with the battery itself. Contact BT customer support or refer to the user manual for guidance on how to replace the battery or seek further assistance.
Remember to always consult the specific instructions provided by BT for your phone base, as different models may have different troubleshooting steps.
