Reconnecting Bluetooth when it drops

What to do when your terminal loses its Bluetooth connection.

Check you're in range

Bluetooth has a short range. Bring the terminal back near its base — thick walls and other wireless kit can break the link.

Toggle Bluetooth off and on

On the terminal, go to Settings then Connectivity then Bluetooth, switch it off, wait a few seconds, then switch it back on.

Re-pair if needed

If it won't reconnect, 'forget' the old pairing and pair again from scratch using our 'Pairing Bluetooth' guide.

Still dropping?

Persistent drops can mean interference or a faulty base. Call 0191 432 6588 and we'll check it under our 24-hour service.

Still need a hand?

A real person in the North East answers the phone — no queues, no scripts.
