Questions and answers
Why does the base unit keep beeping? weve disconnected base and batteries from handsets and waited 10 mins, put everything back and its still beeping.
The BT Elements 1K base unit may be beeping due to interference from other electrical equipment nearby, a faulty line or socket, or a battery-related issue. Ensure the base is placed at least one meter away from other electrical devices or metal obstructions. Also, check if the battery is properly installed and functional. If the issue persists, contact BT support at 0800 145 6789.
