I bought that collar, only to throw it in the garbage the same day. It annoyed me more than it would annoy fleas. Complete waste of money in my opinion.

The mode changes the frequency from a lower to a higher one, you will hear the difference of the buzzing. This annoyed me because I could hear it I could only imagine what it would sound like to my dog.

Same problem here! After I opened the box I charged the battery till the light turned green. Put the battery in the camera, put the film pack in, the black film cover came out (so I assume I put the film in right), turned the camera on but all the symbols are blinking and I'm not able to make a picture. After reading here I put the battery again in the charger and now the light turns orange!! But I just took it out because it was green?!?! Now I'm just gonna wait till it's green again and see if it will work. Does anyone have any others tips for me?XO

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 just tried mine, and it worked fine. Be sure that the button end of each battery is against the flat contact, not the spring contact, and that they are in securely. Spin them in their slot. That fixes a lot of problems. I spent 30 minutes yesterday, trying to fix a toy we had found. I put new batteries in, to no avail. I took the entire electronics apart, even soldering on jumpers to bypass the circuit board. Nothing. Finally, I put a meter on the output of the battery box. No output!. I spun the batteries in their seats, and Voila! Also, the button end of the battery holder goes in first. Be sure the button contact on the battery holder springs back when you push it in. That's really all that can go wrong with it. Good luck!

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.

See if there is a plastic tab that is preventing he battery from making contact. If it has one you may have to pull it out. If it's not that then it's just because the unit is likely defective. It's a super cheaply made unit.

If you're looking at the front- (where there is a silver circle button to turn it on), turn it around, and the lower back side, where the silver bottom is higher up along the blue, there is a tiny little button, that if you push, it pops open the battery chamber. Just turn it around, and feel the silver back side, and you'll see: feel it. It's super easy once you see it. Battery directions (+, -) are written on it, and labeled on batteries as well! Let me know if you need more help!

I had the same problem. Swollen battery and I couldn't get it to budge. A google search that worked for me was to take a drill with a skinny bit and drill down into the battery, making sure you only drill down half way through the battery. Remove the drill. Use a hex key small enough to insert into the hole you made, or a skinny nail. I had the wife hold onto the remote and I took a hammer and started tapping on the hex key until the battery eventually pride out. I did slide a metal nail file under the battery to provide the lift needed to remove the batter from the compartment as it is sunken down in the remote. I ordered a replacement batter here for around 18 bucks. Hope this is helpful. I had the same problem. Swollen battery and I couldn't get it to budge.

I had the same problem and couldn't remember how to get the battery out.The unit separates at the point where the light gray meets the darker gray. Just pull hard enough at that point and the battery compartment will pull out. What probably happens is that it gets residue on the plastic or age just causes it to become more difficult due to not opening it frequently. If you pull hard enough, it will open. It is a single AAA battery that is needed.

If I remember right, I think there was a plastic pull tab that went in between the batteries and the unit itself. It sounds like the lamp is in the "On" position, but it goes out because the tab is separating the contact between the batteries and the unit. Check that and see if it works, or make sure the batteries are seated in the lamp properly.

sorry-- here's the reply including the link to the video... I didn't have to remove (or do anything) to the protective casings. I can only suggest you recheck what you're trying to connect to what. Here's a video about replacing the Verizon battery which may help give you a visual. The OEM battery in the video is a bit different but the close ups (at about 3:30 in, near the end) might help. Feel free to ask a follow-up if I misunderstood or the problem persists. Good luck! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk63rADEFkA

After checking the batteries I checked the on/off switch. I slid it back and forth realized the light flickered so I used my fingernail to slide it with a little more force to the on position. Then left click the mouse and it should work. Now that is the routine.

I am sorry, I had the same problem. I ended up throwing it away and ordering a new one! I did not see any way to open it and replace a battery.

Good day J. Martin. Thanks for your message. Well actually installing the battery was the last thing i did after i wired it up and ran some juice through it from the house. No beeps or anything with the battery out.

The mount rubber broke on mine, so I taped it on with electrical tape, the wire broke off so I put a radio shack normaly open switch on... Now I've smashed the unit case and its taped together with more tape. I have to change the battery... Oops, probably time to buy a new one.

There is a tab you push against with a small screwdriver in the slot on the bottom of the unit, which will allow you to "pop" it apart, giving access to the screw mounting holes and battery compartment. Pull the unit apart with your nails while depressing the tab. Good luck!

I bought this for my mother and she has told me she cannot get the battery cover off. I'm not there to figure it out, so hoping someone can explain the battery compartment configuration? Does it have a tab to press?
