Yes, it's to keep the battery from running down while in storage/shipping. Like many electronics that come with battery included.

Take the battery cover off and take out one battery. Then put the battery back in and close cover. Push on button and it should stay on still you turn it off. This sounds crazy but I'm pretty sure that is how I got it to work.

Why in the world would you need to get into the remote? Are you just trying to replace the battery? That is done from the bottom end of the remote if it is not functioning properly pull the plastic insulator tab out between the battery and the contact.as somebody who is busy messing with lots of LED lighting types and finding all kinds of problems and solutions of late I actually am really curious as to why you want to get in to the remote back. Maybe I'll learn something from you.

I could not find my quick start book but if remember right I had to charge the internal battery for about 8 hr. Then push the on switch and hold it on for about 5 seconds.

If I remember right, I think there was a plastic pull tab that went in between the batteries and the unit itself. It sounds like the lamp is in the "On" position, but it goes out because the tab is separating the contact between the batteries and the unit. Check that and see if it works, or make sure the batteries are seated in the lamp properly.

Just squeeze tabs on either side of the lower part of the handle and pull down. Battery should slide out then slide fresh battery in and your good to go. Tabs are tight at first, but battery will come out.

Did you pull the clear plastic piece out of the remote so that the battery becomes active, and did you also hit the red button on the Infrared controller. These were things I did to turn mine on.

As long as you are using a good battery,installed correctly, (its a little tricky,tight fit)hold the set button in for about 5 seconds.it will turn on.hold the set button to turn off too.

Turn on by just twisting, but there is a black disc inside to protect the battery so you must twist it open first, remove the black disc then they should work just fine - mine did. Hope this helps

Make sure it's in right. I also forgot to peel the plastic off the battery at first.

as i remember there was a little plastic piece under the battery you had to take out. It keeps the new battery from running down during shipping etc. After you remove it, the scale should turn on.

Make sure battery is correct number and connects. I had to put heavy tape over cover to hold it in place. Battery cover very flimsy and can come loose.

There's a switch on the bottom that you turn on. If it doesn't work, it's probably defective just like mine was. Mine never worked. I tried putting in brand new batteries so many times and it never worked. Super disappointing. Send it back for a refund.

We can get the battery snapped in but there is a white plastic piece on the lid that won't allow it to close. Are we supposed to break it off?

Excellent question! I had to pry open the unit to find out. My recollection is that the timer arrived with a small plastic tab. I must have pulled the tab to activate the battery. The battery is well sealed, with a VERY tight fitting cover, held in place by a small Phillips screw. I will add a Dymo label on the back, for when it becomes time to replace the battery.

We didn't have to do anything special to turn it on. Did you charge the batteries all the way before putting them in? Sometimes a low charge can make electronics a little wonky. Other than that my only suggestion would be turn it off, remove the battery, reinstall it and turn it back on to see if it resets.

Make sure battery is in it and repeat. Mine worked according to directions.
