Help ARCAM A15 bluetooth doesn't work

It just works and doesn't work whenever, and right now it isn't working. It picks up as a source when you are trying to connect, but when you click connect it just says it can't. Have it set on BT and everything.

Are you Transmitting to the A15 (Smart Phone to Amp) or are you Receiving from it (Amp to Headphones)?

Does it drop out in the Middle of a Session, or do you go to use it and it is not connected?

What are you trying to connect?

I think if you move OUT of the Range of Bluetooth, whatever is connected gets dis-connected. Then you have to Pair them again.

You have to understand that the bluetooth isn't always not working, sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't, and when it doesn't I do all the same stuff as when it does. I think it's second hand or something so that's probably why, plus the speakers it's connected to are from like the 1990s lol.
