I can't open the battery compartment of the dual timer. I've used these things before and I know that you pinch the sections together, but they won't

Just insert your thumb and middle finger on each side of the battery slide and simply pull it out. There should be very little resistance. If it doesn't come out it could be sign that the battery has leaked and has caused the battery holder to be corroded in place. If that is the case, you will probably need a pair of pliers to free it. Then clean the contacts and install new batteries.

I am assuming the battery is fully inserted and the side clips of the battery are locked in place. I just tried this at home. Grab the top of the drill and carefully push the base of the battery against a door jam until you are able to push in both side battery clips. With a good grip on the lower portion of the battery and the battery clips pushed in pull on the upper drill portion to see if they will separate. If you cannot push in the battery clips then you have to apply more pressure against the door jam until you can push in both clips. You may also have someone with a good grip push in the clips and hold on the lower portion of the battery while you gradually pull on the upper portion of the drill. One last try is to put the drill in the refrigerator for ten minutes to see if this will cause the material to shrink and try the same procedure.

Hi -Yeah it's not real easy to get to. Basically the outer casing (the hard rubber orange boot) can be bent back so that the actual meter itself pops out! Once out, on the back you'll find the battery compartment with a single screw to open.... The boot then just pops back on! It feels like you're doing something wrong to it but if you're careful it will pop off and back on the same way....Good luck!-SamPs:This meter is one of my favorite tools!!!! Good stuff! ;)

Check the little holes on either side of the backing, there should be a small screw in each, unless they've changed the backing. You will need a narrow Phillips screw driver. It will require two 9-volt batteries and they will last for about a year, depending upon your timer settings.

I was not able to remove the battery cover. I am looking to buy a non-digital metronome now.

There are two little tabs on the back side for two battery locations. Just pull on the tabs and it will open.

Invest in a new one. That seems to be an issue with this timer. It's a great timer though and worth the investment.

To gain access to the battery compartment, you must first separate the unit from its wall mount bracket by sliding it toward the open end of the bracket. I suppose you've tried this already, but it's really difficult the first time and much force is required. I finally succeeded by working my fingers under the rim of the bracket and pulling it directly away as if prying off a bottle cap. Once separated, it slides on and off easily.

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.

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!

Turn the selector to the "unlock" image, the batteries are in the top part. Now look at the open bottom of the top part and move the 2 little black tabs towards the center, the battery holder will now slide out.

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.

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.

have you removed all the spacers from the battery section.... you should be able to use either 2 batteries or three batteries....

Dear Connie: The timer has like a round part at the back. Just push it, and the battery can be replaced there. Good luck!

If you look at the battery cover on the back, you will see a small tab. With your fingernail or something like a popsicle stick catch the slightly pointed end and push it to to battery cover, closing the 1/8" gap, When it touches the battery cover, lift it. You are correct, it's not the easiest one to open.
