if the batteries die, can you still open it manually?

You can open it manually but it has a very small handle on the lid and if your fingers are oily it will be difficult.

Some times. The first one we got was DOA, the second one failed a little later. When it failed, (not dead batteries) sometimes the lid was locked open, sometimes (most frequent) locked closed, sometimes free-wheeling.

Yes you can. Just grasp in by the small handle and pull it open then close it back. I sometime turn my batteries off because my cocker spaniel sometimes hops up so it will open .
102869
Yes, you can turn off that feature too. It has a lid with a little handle on top

Absolutely, there is a small handle on top of the trash can and it opens manually quite easily.

I case your batteries die in the lock. It is an external backup for you to open the door to change the batteries in the lock.

If the remote is dead you should open it with the opener in the garage. If the power is out the battery backup should kick in. If that's dead there is a manual release you pull and then you can just raise it yourself.

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.

Yes. There is a key for when the battery runs out. The batteries last for 3 years so keep the key in a safe place.

Yes-manually ... there is a red 'T' handle on a short piece of rope you pull to disengage the chain ... you then open and close the door like you did before you had the opener attached. It is easy to re-set once the power is restored. My wife just had to do this this past weekend when the power was out and I was at the Fire Hall.

external battery pack is keep in safe place. If batteries die, just plug in the battery pack and it will power the door until you can repalce internal battery.

I don't believe that you can. I always remove my batteries when not in use. It helps you locate it in the dark and uses very little power.

sorry took so long. not sure what happens, batteries haven't died yet but I believe it stays locked. You get 2 keys to manually open safe if batteries die or code is forgotten.

As far I as I can see, it cannot. I see no easy way to open for battery access. The enclosed booklet with product specs. says it has a rechargeable lithium battery, but no type, if you would need to replace it. That aside, I find this extremely useful in teaching preschoolers. I am no longer hoarse at the end of every week.

I do not think that you can manually slew it. For me I bought rechargeable battery and it saves a lot.

Mine lasted longer than that, but you can change the batteries. Carefully twist the plug where the on/off switch is. It opens, and you can access the batteries.

Keep in mind the door is always locked. The battery is only used to unlock the door, and then it goes back to lock. If you have a dead battery, the codes do not work, and you must use a key to open the door just as you would have to do if you did not know a code and the battery was good. I do not believe you have to re enter codes with a dead battery, as it is saved in memory.

I think you can use it without the batteries and manually adjusted to open both ways. I don't know why you would do this though.

According to the manufacturer it is not, it's called planned obsolescence. They don't want you to change it because you are not going to buy a new one and it's bad for the business.Technically it is possible to change it, spare batteries are available on Amazon and elsewhere and you will need to know how to use a soldering iron.As one guy with a bloody bandage on his finder was demonstrating how it was done on YouTube, "It is possible, but it requires a bit of skill" he said.

No, there doesn't appear to be a way to open it. However, at that point you could probably just power it through the USB cable.
