How far can a handset be from the main base? I want one of the handsets/chargers in a barn that is a distance from the home. Thanks

300 feet is the most I have heard of. Maybe Amazon will allow you to return it if it doesn't pass your test?

It will easily reach 200 ft. I have a house that has steel siding. I take the phone outside on my 5 acre lot. I make and take phone calls outside all the time. It is a great phone. Anyone with a Bluetooth cell phone should have one. I get very poor cell reception in my house. So I set my cell in the best place for reception which is about 14 direct ft. away with 3 walls in between it and the V-tech. It works well. I had 2 land phone lines when I got this V-Tech. I dropped 1 line when I got this phone. Using my cell, it literally works as well as the as any 2 line phone.

I didn't have both - no cordless hand set, but I can't imagine that the range would be affected very much by having two "receiver" devices in close range of each other. Some of the phones have repeaters available if range is going to be a problem for you - - - they would definitely extend the range .

Hello, It appears that one of the three handsets is faulty. You need to do some simple tests to eliminate the bad one. First unplug the two remote bases and remove the handset battery. Now with just the base station and one powered handset, dial your home number with your mobile. Have someone else pickup and see if you can communicate. Then remove that battery if it worked and try the next handset, 'one at a time' until you find the bad handset. If none of them work correctly, then the problem is with the main base station unfortunately. The remote bases are charger only bases as you know. I do not see a pinhole opening on the main base to insert a small pin to do a factory reset. The only thing to try is to unplug the power and landline phone cable and wait five minutes or so. If that won't correct the problem, at least you'll have determined the culprit. On a positive if one or the other is bad, you can get the single item at Walmart or maybe even here. You also could call vTech customer sales/support chances are they would replace the faulty component free of charge. They have been an excellent manufacturer to deal with! Their contact number is on their website, best of luck solving your problem!

I don't know how many feet it can go but we have a long ranch type house now, and previously had a two story. It was good anywhere on our property and into our neighbor's yards. Best phones we've ever had.

I needed an extender since the phone reception did not reach the barn and garden area in my yard. As W. Tobias stated, if you are not experiencing a problem when making phone calls with the base unit, you do not need an extender.

That confused me as well! The handsets are cordless, but the bases have to be plugged in. Works great!

You definitely need one home base, but can have several of these handsets/chargers throughout your home or office. It is the home base that receives the call via land line, has the voice-mail and transmits the signal to the several Vtech 6305 handsets. The handsets & their bases are not connected to the landline; the handset bases are only connected to electrical outlets so that when you put the handset in the base it will charge their batteries.

Not very long. My mom had to add her own longer cord to the handset cord. The phone cord is plenty long.

Hi Barbara, only 1 cprd is needed to connect the main station with one handset to the telephone line. The other handset, with a a separate base and charger just needs to be plugged in to the outlet and connects to the main unit wirelessley...It works for us in a large house - the main unit is upstairs and the secondary unit is downstairs - it will help to have the main unit located centrally....

My hand sets are placed through the house one upstairs bedroom and 2 downstairs. I would say 50 feet I have taken the phone outside in the yard and reception is fine.

We have three portable, interlinked phones that rest in charging bases and when the phone is in the base it's off. The headset plugs into any of the phones and can be used walking around the house, sitting in room away from the base, etc. It would defeat the portability of the phone to plug it into a base and I don't believe it's possible in our system.

Sorry, Loonlover, I have not found an answer to the question of how to extend the bluetooth range of the base station.

I have a two-story home. The Renny is on a kitchen counter on the main floor. I often leave my phone in my closed den on the second floor. There is a distance of probably over 50 feet and several walls. No problems with bluetooth reception there or anywhere in the house.

Yes, the base for handset One has slots for wall mounted screws on the back. This feature seems to be an afterthought as it will protrude from the wall Five or Six inches.

I can be about 10 ft from one phone but less from the second one. I think it may depend on the make of the phone too.
