Take it off. It has no affect on the product. You do have to hold the power button for a few seconds before the handset turns on.

On the back side, at the bottom, you'll see two little philips head screws, I think you have to unscrew those and then just above those, impressed into the plastic backing, you see an arrowhead pointing upward, you push down and up on that and the back comes off revealing the place where the batteries go. I think this is it, its been so long since I did it, and I use the electrical plug attachment to keep mine running so I don't have to waste batteries. Good luck with that!

Kelci, you should be able to remove the battery compartment by pressing 2 tabs on the body of the screw driver. Once you do that, it would release the battery compartment, from there just remove the batteries and replace them with the new ones. Don't you have a manual page that goes with the screwdriver? The black round end with hole in it is the battery compartment. Let me know if you still have problems with replacing your batteries. If you still can't figure it out how to do it, ask your husband, he should know how to do it. Good luck!

There is a tab in the light that needs to be removed. It's just a pull tab like the ones used to protect batteries.

There is a little paper strip that you need to remove. It saves battery life until it's ready to be used.

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.

The batteries are accessed from the front, not the back. Just remove the two screws holding on the front cover - it comes off easily, revealing the two batteries.

These fobs I ordered have a small screw that inserts in the back of the case. I can remove that tiny screw, pop off the back cover and have total access to the batteries. I hope this helps..

Don't assume you can get a new battery. I have had my radio for quite some time and put it away for emergency use. I recently found the battery a little corroded and won't hold a charge. Now, I can not find a replacement battery. I even went to a specialty shop with no help given. Anyone actually "know" where a replacement battery can be found?

I was stumped too at first. The battery cover is under the handle. Just lift it a bit and you'll see the edges of the battery cover. I remember it sliding off, although it's been a while.

It depends on how observant he is and the location of the ODB port. Some ports are more hidden than others depending on the make or model of the car. I put black electrical tape around it to hide the Mastrack info and to make it look as innocuous as possible. I also fastened it with a black plastic tie strap so it couldn't be easily removed. If the car needs to be serviced for a check engine light or something similar the Mastrack will need to be removed. It doesn't seem to drain the battery. If the car is not in use Mastrack will poll the device once a day.

I never remove the battery. Just turn it off and it will not discharge. If you are not going to use it for a month or two it is(as the others have also mentioned) good practice to remove the battery to guard against chemical leakage which can happen...........enjoy your Chrony and may the force be with you.

There is a possibility that the battery and the ACC line off the radio were mixed, you can try reversing them. It won't hurt anything. All the battery does this keep the radio in your presets working that's what that particular wires is for in the ACC line is to give you power to the unit only when the ignition is on so if they are backwards. It really won't hurt anything, but you won't be able to turn your radio off with your key and if you manually turn the radio off when you turn it back on it should go back to the factory resets. I hope that helps. I apologize, but I must add my $.02. I agree with the other person if you're able to send it back and look for a much better unit. There are many of them out there they cost more. I had one. Mine lasted 6 months than the GPS dropped out and DVDs started skipping unfortunately I was unable to send the unit back and if you had the other units that I bought from san media when I followed broke down and bought a namebrand I purchased Alpine I had more than 2 1/2 times the money I paid for the good unit. I've had the new unit in my car for going on a 8 months now. I think a lab had absolutely 0 problems with the unit works good has a great picture wish I'd done it before wasted all the money I did anyway have a great day, if you need anything else, feel free to ask and I hope everything works right for you

There is a piece on the back that slides out for mounting purposes. Take that piece off the battery compartment is there.

Yes. They can be disconnected from the radio. They look like 3 AAA batteries wrapped together in plastic, radio shack probably sells them. The radio does also take AA batteries at the same time. I am very please with my purchase of this radio, the weather alert feature works very well.

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.

Just slide the lint tray off and under it is a cover that you take off ( by pushing the tab ) and the batteries are under it. I havehad no problems with it. It comes off pretty easy. Good Luck!
