I can't figure out how to open mine to change the battery. Any help please?

I have been trying for days to open this unit to replace batteries and I simply cannot. The batteries lasted only 2 weeks with just a little use every day (maybe 15 minutes when I let the dog out in the dark). I ordered a different collar unit that uses AAA batteries.

Pry off the half that does not have the LED in it. My two units came apart using just my fingernail to grab it. It is quite a solid fit, but nothing I needed tools for.

The body is connected in a snap fit fashion with the metal clip in the middle. Just pry the silicon halves apart using a screwdriver slid in between the silicon edge and the metal clip. It just snaps back together again creating a water resistant seal.

Pry the front or back off by twisting and pulling away from the aluminum body at the same time, i's not really necessary to use a small screwdriver unless they won't move at all. I simply applied pressure by hand and it came off.

use a tiny screw driver to unscrew the screw. It's oddly shaped with a wider bottom, so once loosened, you have to pop it out (I pryed it out with the same tiny screw driver. Then puse a larger screwdriver to twist the backing. (place the larger screwdriver or a penny in the little notch on the backing and twist until the tiny tab is visible). The pop the backing off with your tiny screwdriver. Once I replaced my battery, I put the backing back on and twisted so the tab help it in; I did NOT replace the screws because they were a superfluous pain in the rear.

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.

Hit the # key. You'll hear a 'click' and then open up the safe. I've had this safe for years and haven't even had to change out the batteries yet.

It is simple to replace the battery. You have to unscrew the battery cover, take the old battery out, replace the battery with the same type battery and then replace the battery cover.

Yes, I had a lot of trouble also, but keep pushing on it as hard as you can. It will open. Try pressing "down" and at the same time push the button "in". The opposite green grip will start to push out and the batteries are under that. Hope this helped you.

There are grooves on the side of the blinky. Grab a quarter, stick in the groove and turn the quarter. It should allow it to snap open. Place the battery and snap back into place.

The instructions I have says 'to change the battery, reomove the screws on the underside of the top to remove the battery cover'. 'Only use Ni-MH or NiCd rechargeable batteries'. I hope this helps....

Hold the battery door open up to the hinge, than gently pull top up than the bottom. Or vice versa you should see one end has an opening.Good luck

Unfortunately, the trick is to use something thin to pry it open. I haven't tried it yet as I haven't had to access my battery, but feel as though I could also break it. Not a good design for sure, but for the price, I guess we get what we pay for!

The battery cover is screwed in. It is closed with a single small screw and you would need a small screwdriver to open/close it.

I also have trouble getting the battery cover open. It works best if you pull up at the notch on top with you finger nail while pushing up on the cover.

Push the battery to the right. The left side will pop out. Then pull the battery up. Ta-da!

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

Thanks Brianlatz! I swear I couldn't figure out how to put the battery in so I finally just decided to shove it in. But then the little ring wouldn't fit. Now I can't take it out. I thought there must have been an easier way. Thank god for google which led me here. lol. Geez. How the hell am I going to take the battery out now???

Ha! Funny you should ask because I have to change my battery also. If you look at your two ear pieces you will notice that half of one is half black and half green. That is where the batteries are located at. Gently, with your fingers, push up and that black cover should move and then lift it off. Once you are done make sure that you snap it back into place and that it is firmly secured.
