How in the world to you open the battery door on this thing? I'm afraid to break something.

I don't recall any problem with the battery door. It's pretty simple unless it is broken. The directions are helpful.

I just went & opened mine, just to be sure. It was a piece of cake. Open the safe, push down the tab at the top of the battery compartment & pull it out & down. It's pretty simple. It catches at the top & the bottom just has a slot it sits in.

Just open the battery compartment and change it.. You won't get shocked :-)

I carefully used a strong, wide, flat head screwdriver to pry up one edge, (go deep! about 1/2 " don't stab yourself! and be careful not to catch the battery underneath) continue to pry up until it pops out. It IS very difficult to get open as there is a lip underneath above the batteries that help hold it in. A pain, but you don't want that popping out while your dog plays with it. There are 2 batteries once you get inside. Takes me a few minutes to get it open.

There is a fairly obvious little "door" at the top (if the iron is upright) of the iron that flips down when you open it. It was quite hard to open the first few times. I was scared I would break it, but a friend's husband used the brute force method and yanked it open.

I had the same problem so I called Bell and Howell and reached a tech person who said the door is very tight to keep water out. To open, hold the camera bottom facing up, in your left hand with your left thumb over the upside down letters "CEPC' and next to the release lever. With your right hand slide the small release lever down and at the same time using a lot of force press down hard with your left thumb and sliding the battery door to the left. It's not easy and may take you several attempts before you are successful.

There is no secret in opening the battery. You can open it with your finger nails. Buy battery online or from local shops like CVS.

I haven't tried opening this device. Behind the door on the side, i assume there are some screws behind the label. I don't know if the batteries will be standard or something dedicated...

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.

Press the battery sliding cover in a bit first before trying to slide it down. This makes is open much easier.

The other response is correct. There is a door on the back. Open it and insert the batteries.

We can get the battery snapped in but there is a white plastic piece on the lid that won't allow it to close. Are we supposed to break it off?

Try a coin. It is kind of hard at first, but if you push up on it, it snaps out. There looks like two openings for the battery, but it's the upper one. The lower is for the little circular stand that comes with it.

There is a small round indentation on the bottom of the remote..press on this and it will very slightly open. You can then pry it open to remove the old battery. It's a little awkward. Hope this helps.

The back on mine is a rubber cover, push it down or up, I do not have it in hand now, and then the door should just swing open exposing the battery and the sd card slot as well as a setting switch for HI/LO

push on the door, it has a latch that will allow it to open. Note which way the 9 volt battery terminals are orientated. Replace the battery in the same orientation. Push the battery door closed. It will not likely close unless there is a battery installed.

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!
