Changing the batteries-What is the small battery compartment for in the main unit? The "try me" battery, or did I lose it while changing?

I believe you're talking about the little demo batteries, which are not replaced with anything. You only need your 3 large batteries in that unit. Hope this helps.

This battery is used for testing the unit when in the package. It is not needed for normal use.

Sorry, I never noticed the battery and am reluctant take it apart. For me, it will be better to replace the unit than to purchase a replacement battery.

What I do is hold the base and then pull away the main unit. After changing batteries I snap back in place. Hope this helps.

Connie, I'm honestly not sure. We tried to pry it open, because you can see a battery in there. I suppose you can change it- if you can get to it! Seems impossible to open.

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. :)

Hello. the unit that I purchased is sealed by the manufacturer, there is no battery to replace,, it has an internal part . you would have to open it, or take it to a shop to have it, replaced, I just used it with a plug,, it works great,,,as a decent size unit to carry,, I just used it, when I need it,,as it is big

We bought this house for a granddaughter last year and I remember installing the batteries in a hidden compartment inside one of the rooms. I remember it had a small screw you had to take out. Wish I could tell you exactly where the battery compartment is. Sorry.

I purchased a replacement battery and they have changed the battery posts - so it is not easy. I had to solder the new battery in place.The new battery has slip on posts and the old one was attached with a small screw and nut. Bah Humbug....

Kelci, you should be able to remove the battery compartment by pressing 2 tabs on the body of the screw driver. Once you do that, it would release the battery compartment, from there just remove the batteries and replace them with the new ones. Don't you have a manual page that goes with the screwdriver? The black round end with hole in it is the battery compartment. Let me know if you still have problems with replacing your batteries. If you still can't figure it out how to do it, ask your husband, he should know how to do it. Good luck!

since this is the new one, so there is not too much battery in it. when it is power off, I cannot use the changer to change, though I changed different sockets, even I went to my friend's house to have a try. However, all of them were failed.

I don't have the answer right now I opened it once I believe in the bed you have a compartment where are the batteries to be changed to do batteries I'm not mistaken

When you replace the battery then a setup about measure units to be shown appear. You can force this by removing the battery and put it back.

This was not to easy .. As you are looking at display , turn 180 so you are looking at the back.. Squeeze the sides and pull.. Mine was very, very tight... Once that slides out you can see and change the battery...

I was just about to suggest (and feeling a bit smug about it, I'll admit) that you simply re-boot. I had forgotten about the non-removable battery. Oops. Who feels foolish now? This is a great post. I hope somebody comes up with a useful suggestion.

I did not find the battery difficult to change, but, it is a very small battery, of course. And I am a bit younger. Best wishes.

I have not needed to switch the battery in mine, as of yet, but there are 4 tiny Phillips Screws on the inside rim between the foam on the earpiece and the housing where the buttons are placed. If you look closely you will see them. I took these screws out of mine and the earpiece came apart, and I could get to the inside. There was a small lightweight piece of metal tape over one of the components inside the headset, which I assume must be where the battery is located. So my answer is this, I don't know if it can be changed, but you can get to the inside of the headset without damaging the unit. Good Luck.
