We've had ours for almost a year now and have not had to change the batteries? How often do you find you have to change them? I'd think once a year would be normal.... we love our doorbell.... change the tune frequently and just wish those outside could hear it too.... our house is too sound proof!

Mine is hard wired with no problem on batteries. Have low voltage buttons with transformer.

we just love ours and have not had a battery problem. I think I saw where you could hard wire it? call the company. they were very nice and helpful to me when I called them.

I am sorry I had ours installed over a year ago and it still works great with no battery replacements yet.but we don't have a lot of visitors and it is not used that much. good luck!!!

never had a problem here and we've had it for awhile. you can always use the hard wire option but that requires a power source.

I haven't needed to replace batteries yet. Sorry I can't help. But now I anticipate I'll have the same problem, so I'm happy to know this online Q&A; exists. Maybe the manufacturer will give us some hints.

Try a coin. It is kind of hard at first, but if you push up on it, it snaps out. There looks like two openings for the battery, but it's the upper one. The lower is for the little circular stand that comes with it.

remove batteries. brush it with dampened brush and soapy solution but not totally wet. so far so good! good luck, a

i did not find it difficult at all....need to remove some screws to remove the cover panels. once the cover panels(side covers} are off simply remove the POS+ and neg - terminals and replace the battery.

Buy a new battery. Everything gets old and there are lots of ways to ruin then even if it's not.

I have the same problem as you!I've changed batteries and still behaves in the same way.I bought mine at Home Depot, but If a had read the reviews before buying I would not have acquired it

Make sure batteries are in correctly, then hold down power button. Good luck.

We have yet to use batteries so I we can't answer that question. I will give that a try and see if we experience the same issue.

Reload program if you have access to it. Pull battery to reboot remote is another option to try.

Buying a battery might be a cheap fix. Make sure the charging unit is plugged in and it lights up when the unit is placed in the charger. If the unit is new, send it back.

I am using energizer batteries with no problem...It may be that the unit is defective. Good luck!

Batteries need to be checked out for sure! Check for full charge, next see if they are holding the charge. If either fail, then, you may need to replace one or all. You can go to a store that sells batteries and they can help you. Also, make sure all of your wiring is connected...follow it to ensure all wires are tight and in place.

The only thing I've had to do so far is just replace the batteries. If you do that, make sure when you insert them that you follow the diagram as to which they should be facing. Good luck!

The first thing is to check your batteries. Replace the with a good brand, like Energizers. They usually come with off brand batteries, so I put good ones in and they last.

The way to solve any problem like this is, if possible, to isolate in turn each of the factors which could be causing the problem. In succession, check the outlet; try charging other batteries if you have them; use a voltmeter if you have one to check the voltage in charging hole, and while anything a lot of things can be fixed it's likely not worth the trouble here - buy a new one.

You might also try using rechargeable batteries. I use those exclusively now. For whatever reason, they just seem to work a lot better.
