Is there some trick about opening the battery cover? It is really difficult to do it.

Both battery covers should just slide right off. One of the covers on my set is actually slightly loose for my preference.

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.

Hi David! The easiest way that I do it is to pull the release clip to the front of me. I can get it open easier that way. Hope this helps!

There is a battery door on the bottom. You need a screwdriver to take the screw out first.

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

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

This is very simple to open. You twist open where the arrows are for your batteries and then the battery holder just pulls out of the little holes that you line up. Just pull up, it comes right off! Just hold the bottom and pull gently on the black part.

Dorothy, I had the same problem. Hold the bottom (bigger part) with your left hand and twist the part just above it with your right hand. Failing this, go to YouTube and see how is done there. This is how I managed to open mine. I hope this helps.

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.

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

I couldn't figure it out either. The instruction sheet is hidden between the paperboard insert in the packaging. The gridded panel on the underside slides over and comes off revealing the battery covers.

You need a small screwdriver, I believe a Phillips head, to open the battery compartment. You can replace battery. If it still doesn't turn on then you need to send back to replace.

To gain access to the battery compartment, you must first separate the unit from its wall mount bracket by sliding it toward the open end of the bracket. I suppose you've tried this already, but it's really difficult the first time and much force is required. I finally succeeded by working my fingers under the rim of the bracket and pulling it directly away as if prying off a bottle cap. Once separated, it slides on and off easily.

Yeah....opening it by hand is tough. I use a small screwdriver too. No accidental opening likely.

There are 2 knobs beneath the adjustment dials on the left and right. Push them to the inside and assembly comes out. Turn over and gentle push out on the top and bottom of the outer frame to release inside assembly and allow it to be pushed up and out of outer frame. The battery cover is on the lower right had side and pulls down and then swings out.

Its not easy, but on the back of the light you have to slide open the back cover...Hold in one hand, and then push using your thumb to unlock it...
