Short Explanation
You’re seeing the headset work beside the phone but disconnect at the far end of the warehouse because it has exceeded Bluetooth’s short range. A SIM, near-field communication, and GPS do not extend that Bluetooth link.
Full Explanation
Bluetooth is a short-range radio. Because the headset works beside the phone and disconnects at the far end of a warehouse, the distance has exceeded Bluetooth’s short range. A SIM is the phone’s cellular identity; it does not decide how far a headset can be from the phone. Near-field communication works at a touch and does not carry headset audio across a warehouse. GPS provides location; it does not keep a Bluetooth headset connected at any distance. Exam caveat: a dead headset battery can also drop the link, but this stem ties the disconnect to distance and the recovery to being beside the phone. Practical check: walk back toward the phone and confirm that the headset reconnects before replacing it. If it still disconnects beside the phone, check the headset’s battery. Record what you found on the ticket.
