How do you open the battery compartment? There is a tiny screw , but there is also a little slot that I don't want to break it by prying on it.

You merely remove both small screws, take off the cover, take out the old batteries and insert the new. Watch what direction the writing on the old batteries face so you insert the new ones properly.

There are little screws on the bottom. One is for the battery compartment, one is not. You can tell by looking at them which you need. :)

You must remove three screws, then pull off one side to access the battery compartment.

The battery compartment on mine is actually quite easy to open. I can just slip my nails in the crack at the top back and push slightly and it slips right off. You could also use the tip of a butter knife or something similar to slip in the crack and nudge it open, then it will simply slide off. To get it back on, make sure you line up the top up level and slide it right up through the little plastic "holders" that are on both sides.

Sorry to be so slow answering. We were away for several days and just got in. I think we opened by placing a screw driver in each slot (one under clip, one at one end) simultaneously and twisting carefully. As I recall, the unit opened into two halves. Incidentally, when I tested the battery it was OK so we had a failed unit and had to order a complete replacement opener.

I have had no problems removing the battery. Make sure you are pulling it from the right side. As the picture shows from the top. If you try from the bottom it has a latch and its impossible to remove from that end. Hope this helps. G.

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

I had the same issue. I am going to try to use a different five prong screwdriver to unscrew the battery. Good Luck!

It takes a large/wide, flat head screwdriver. Careful. Don't stab yourself. Insert into one side and go down 1/4" and pry up around the edges. There is a "rubber lip" towards the bottom that keeps everything intact but you must be careful not to go too deep. Keep prying up around the edges, the first time is the hardest. Once you get it out, the battery replacement is easy.

There should be just 1 screw on the tab for the battery box, push the tab towards the middle and it should pop open.

you have to remove two screws, take it apart, then have access to the battery!

You should be able to just twist the device to the right to loosen it from the mounting plate. Unplug the line to the hard wiring, and then you will be able to access the battery compartment.

I do not have a problem opening the battery door. If you have a finger nail, that should do the trick.

There is a pin on the exterior, remove pin, turn the unit slightly and let it down. Squeeze the power holding cable connector to release it from unit. The battery compartment is in the bottom, open replace exactly as you remove and relock the battery door. Replace as you removed.

Hi Robin, I'm assuming you are referring to the cover for the batteries? What I do is place both my thumbs on the cover and really put pressure on it and twist to open. It gets easier to open over time. I bought this a few months ago. Hope this helps...

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!
