How to change the battery? I bought a house with this opener installed on the wall outside the garage. I tried to open lower front portion it is tight

Take a flat blade screw driver and put it in the slot in the lower portion of the front. Twist gently and it should just pop down. Hope this helps.

You may need to remove the opener from the wall to be able to change the batteries.

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.

I had a problem with mine when a piece of cork got stick inside. I pulled it out with pliers and that fixed it. With a previous opener the cork would not come out and I had to hold it with pliers while pushing the button. If the opener is slowing down and stopping when you push the up button then maybe the battery isn't charged. There were some complaints that the battery wasn't lasting very long so I disconnect it after charging and then use until the charge runs out. One charge is good for thirty or so openings. Some batteries develop a "memory" when left on the charger all the time and this can account for short life. If this is the case then you might need to replace the unit.

It's very likely the opener. You may want to check the reflector/safety mechanism if there is one, and make sure it's aligned properly. To make sure it's not the remote you could try removing the batteries and not using it for some time, instead using (assuming you have one) they key pad.

Remove the unit and send it back for a refund. NO FAULT WITH BATTERIES OR ANYTHING SHOULD OPEN THE DOOR! This is what happened to me following two months of normal operations. I returned it easily, and talked to them a couple of times They were quite responsive. I believe that there is a major fault in the unit. I was never told if they found the cause of my unit malfunctioning. I wouldn't trust having it on my garage door unless they guaranteed that they found a problem and that the problem was corrected.

Try the battery first, of course, but if that's not it, you should call customer service. One time they had me change a setting in the unit that plugs into the wall. I will say, though, that this is not a reliable product and doesn't last very long, especially if you are using it a place where it is subject to weather. I have two--one at the front door in a breezeway and one on a gate outside by the mailbox. The one in the covered area last a lot longer than the other.

Remove the rubber orange cover. Access is underneath. Here you can change the battery and the fuse. Always use a fuse of the proper size and value; 250mA/250V fast blow

There is a small Slot at the top of the casing that is easy to open with a small blade or screw driver or in fact, I can open it with my finger nail. Once opened you simply take out the small button battery and replace it, then simply snap the top of the casing shut. There is also a little diagram in the instructions explaining how to change the battery.

Think everyone has this problem. Below the display is a small button like protrusion, push in on that and, volia, the battery door opens on the other side. The plus side of the battery goes down in the holder. You'll love this guage, it works great.

There is a small battery door at the bottom of the back side. This door slides down, but if you're having trouble, try sliding a thin flat object to the top of the seam and forcing the door downward. This may create a cosmetic flaw on the back side of your remote, but you should be able to open it. This issue is not typical of this product.

Just take a steak knife or tiny flat screw driver and there is a slot on one end of the doorbell button and you just need to push it in and slide the cover off the same direction as you have it pushed in. Then you can remove the doorbell and replace the battery and slide it right back on the easiest thing to do. :) I hope this helps.

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!

I had the same problem and it took me some time to figure it out. The front side is where the remote button is, which has a sliding door to keep it from accidental activation. The battery door is on the back side. It has a ribbed surface composed of 12 raised dots. Using your thumb and with the rest of your fingers pressed to hold against the other side, press the battery door gently on the raised dots and slide it away from the ring or chain holder. A soft rubber gloves might also help to prevent oily fingers from slipping. It took me several tries before I was successful because I was also worried I would break the unit as I pressed. Overall, I am happy with it. Sorry for the delayed response. I had the same problem and it took me some time to figure it out.
