The controller cuts off communication when you go beyond
this limit. You should move closer to the controller.

handset or the controller. Move the various devices over
3 metres away from each other.
If there is no electromagnetic interference or no obstacle
between the handset and the controller, the "free field" radio
range is roughly 400 m. When the handset is inside the home,
the radio range is less. Radio wave propagation is limited
depending on the type and thickness of the walls or partitions
