How do you open the remote control to place the battery? I have been trying to get it open and I can't.

It is really hard to open! On one side of the battery cover there is a little tab and you push it over toward the center and you pull the cover back at the same time! You can push the little tab over with a small straight screwdriver if you can't get to it with your finger!

I'm sorry I can't help w/this. We purchased this item for our granddaughter who lives in another state so I don't know the workings of it.

I gave this as a gift and she does not use the remote. I would try to search the internet for sylvia to get the answer.

Hi Sherry. A new opener comes with a battery installed. I tried to open mine on your behalf and was not able to and did not want to risk breaking it. My advice is to contact the seller of this item. I work with tools and machines all day. I tried screwdrivers and coins in the slots which I believe with a twisting motion will pop off the cover but I did not push as I tend to break things:( Sorry I could not be of more help but if you talk with the seller I'm sure they can walk you through it.

On the front of the remote down below the numbers you should notice that there is an area with nothing on it. That is the battery case. The front slides off. Now it is not easy to slide it off, but you should notice there is a slight line between the back of that area and the front. Hold on to the back and push the front off, in the direction below the numbers. I was not in the same town as the remote when I received your question. But yesterday attempted to open the battery case. It wasn't easy and if I had not done it before, I would have thought that I would break it. Inside are two AAA batteries. Once again, it is tight and hard to slide off. On the front of the remote down below the numbers you should notice that there is an area with nothing on it. That is the battery case.

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.

There is a small gap between the battery slide and the handle. I used a small screwdriver to push down just above the arrow in the gap. There is a small plastic hook there that slides up under the handle portion when closed and once it is pushed down you can slide it open. Hope this helps.

There is a sliding cover to the 2 battery compartments. I don't have mine in front of me, but you should be able to figure out which way to slide it open.

On the front side of the remote (looking at it vertically), the bottom part right below the number pad is where the battery cover is. The cover (smooth & flat area) is about 2" (W) x 1" (L). Push it downward to open to install/remove two AAA batteries.

under the scale is a black tab. open it and pop the battery one. you probably need to stick a thin screwdriver under the battery to help pop it out

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

Never tried to open the remote, but have you checked the battery or tried a new battery? Mine was acting screwy until I did this.

The battery is on the side of the remote. I had to take a pen and push on the button hard and then pull open the slide. underneath on right.

if you look carefully on the side of battery slot you have a plastic cover that you can open.Open that and take the line through that and close the lid!hope it helps you!

Be careful putting the battery in. It must be properly seated in the ring that pops out of the battery compartment. Pop out the ring first than insert the battery into the ring and finally return the ring with the battery into the bottom of the remote. They do not indicate the + or - but you can tell the battery is placed properly when it sits flush in the ring.

I just solved this problem with my lantern. It was stuck,so I ran a butter knife along the seal of the battery cover. I was then able to easily open it and replace the batteries.

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.
