how to open battery cover?

If I'm not misstaking, you must use a small PH1 tip to open the battery compartment. I trashed mine because of the batteries didn't last very long, and it was such a pain to use. I don't recommend this item for any home owner.

if you have really strong fingers, just grab on both sides and pull it out. I use a screwdriver, garden tool anything at hand to GENTLY pry one side of the cover up, then pull out with fingers. I have 10 of these, and this is a lot easier than having to disconnect everything and open screws to get to the battery compartment. It has to be tight to make it waterproof.

Hi, this remote can be a challenge to open ☺. Hold it upside-down with the back of the unit facing you...place one finger on the small tab at the end of the battery cover and position your fingernail in the curved space at the top of the tab. Push in and down on the tab with your fingertip, and at the same time, pull the tab with your fingernail. Hope I'm making sense!

On the front side of the remote (looking at it vertically), the bottom part right below the number pad is where the battery cover is. The cover (smooth & flat area) is about 2" (W) x 1" (L). Push it downward to open to install/remove two AAA batteries.

There is a small round indentation on the bottom of the remote..press on this and it will very slightly open. You can then pry it open to remove the old battery. It's a little awkward. Hope this helps.

It is the little 'key ' peice that helps you screw the back of the battery cover in. Stick the black thing in the back of the battery cover and turn it, to open or close it.

(2) Now notice the battery compartment cover (little images of batteries when you look closely. This battery compartment cover has a small tab on its left side.

I am sorry, I had the same problem. I ended up throwing it away and ordering a new one! I did not see any way to open it and replace a battery.

With the box open and the lid away from you, the battery compartment is on the right side. Push down and toward the outside edge to remove the battery compartment lid and install the battery with the bottom of the battery facing the lid.

There is no battery cover, so it appears that replacement is not intended by the manufacturer. The unit is held together by a rubber cover that covers top, bottom, and sides. This cover is not trivial to remove, but I didn't try very hard.

You need to pinch opposite sides of the battery flap with one hand and then release the top of the flap with your other hand. If you look at the flap on the back of the battery, you can see the hinges on the bottom of the flap which will help you see which side to release.

There is no secret in opening the battery. You can open it with your finger nails. Buy battery online or from local shops like CVS.

Connie, I'm honestly not sure. We tried to pry it open, because you can see a battery in there. I suppose you can change it- if you can get to it! Seems impossible to open.

Press the battery sliding cover in a bit first before trying to slide it down. This makes is open much easier.

There's a hole in the housing on one side of the battery, and a door that swings open on the other side. You just push the battery through the door using a paper clip, install the new battery, and close the door.

There are two little tabs on the back side for two battery locations. Just pull on the tabs and it will open.

Yes, you need to unscrew the battery cover. These small phillips head screws can be difficult if you aren't using the correct size screwdriver and the correct size head.
