I assume you're talking about the remote. On the front of the remote are two segments - the larger of the two contains the red button and small red light and the smaller one has "Skylink" written on it. The latter one (the smaller one) is the one that needs to be removed to access the battery. The edge of that small cover that is below the word "Skylink" has a screwdriver slot molded into it. Use a large screwdriver to twist open the small cover to expose the A23 battery. After changing the battery, just snap the cover back on.

I assume you refer to the remote control. In one of the sides of the remote you will find a hole that seems to be for a keychain ring. If you put put the remote horizontal and look at the side with the hole for the keychain, you will see a wider segment in the groove that separates the upper side of the lower side of the remote. Insert a screwdriver and rotate as if it were a screw that you want to unscrew. Both sides will separate and you will see the battery. After replacing the battery, just put one side on top of the other and press until you hear a click.Please, let me know if this is clear enough.Regrettably I can't send you a photo I assume you refer to the remote control.

On the side opposite to the one with the volume and power control press down and out on the colored plastic cover. It will slide out and expose the battery compartment. It is tight so you will have to use some force. I was a bit stumped by this too as there is no documentation in the packaging.

Mine has two small tabs on the battery cover at one end that slide in first, then the other end of the battery cover snaps into place. Mine stays securely there.

It takes a large/wide, flat head screwdriver. Careful. Don't stab yourself. Insert into one side and go down 1/4" and pry up around the edges. There is a "rubber lip" towards the bottom that keeps everything intact but you must be careful not to go too deep. Keep prying up around the edges, the first time is the hardest. Once you get it out, the battery replacement is easy.

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

There is a small battery door at the bottom of the back side. It slides down, I believe. I have had mine for a year and has worked well.

You have to take the back cover off-insert your nail in the slot at the bottom and pull. At the bottom of the battery in the phone pull out the battery from the slot in the bottom. Insert the new battery in reverse motion. Make sure the metal contacts align and press in place. Replace the rear cover.

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....

I finally got mine open. I had to push in on the battery compartment cover so hard that I was afraid that I was going to break it, while sliding it outward.

Hi Susan .. there is a release inside the cover top right. you push down on it,it's a sliding release. That should open the compartment. I also thing the unit needs to be unlocked ( if there is a code ) I had the same problem with mine, but unfortunately it was stolen ( even with a cable lock ) very soon after my first use. So I never got a change to test it much.

It is the little 'key ' peice that helps you screw the back of the battery cover in. Stick the black thing in the back of the battery cover and turn it, to open or close it.

Carefully pull the rubber off the assembly. It comes off easily just has to be easy with it. Take a very small screw driver or a Pin. Turn the light up side down. At the rear side (side opposite of the bulbs) You can see a small locking clip. Push slightly outward it opens. Replace the battery. Close and reinstall the rubber cover

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.

They should slide off the old batteries and then slide on to the new batteries. It is a tight fit , so you might have to wiggle it back and forth a tad to help it come off.

Remove the Rubber protector (yellow color), you will find the battery compartment cover at the back, unscrew and replace the battery

Facing towards the opposite side of where the battery goes,there is alittle tab on the cover which ya gently push in alittle bit, in the opposite direction,while gently lifting and sliding the cover towards the end with the little tab.That will expose the battery.Once ya change the battery,reverse the procedure making sure the battery is centered in that plastic cover so it sets back into its' respective position.Do NOT FORCE or you will break it.Take your time and look at it.It's really not that hard to do.I just had to go look at mine,then remove and replace the plastic cover cause I did it awhile ago.So look at it,take your time,and everything should work out alright.Good luck!
