On the back of the rafio where you see the little opening to loop the wrist strap. That's the battery release. Push it in towards the back of the radio and pull the battery down. You're welcome.

There is a latch on the top of the GT-3 where the lanyard is attached. Squeeze the latch firmly and downward while sliding the battery down and the battery should release. If you have installed the belt clip lift it up as the battery releases.

My DE1126 worked perfectly after the initial charge. If you can't get the battery to charge-up, then either the battery may be defective or the wall-wart charger or the DE1126 radio itself. In any event, you may have to return the item to the seller and request a replacement, but call or send and email first in case you need an RMA number. Good Luck!

It doesn't work! We haven't been able to hear anything because the batteries caused some type of overheating the radio does not work. To send it back would cost me more money than the whole thing is worth. My suggestion: Leave it be and look for something else, it ain't worth it.

ChristopherThe nature of my problem was the new batteries that are been manufactured don't fit the radio and it did not recharge either!M. Schwab

How did you get the battery pack to work? The two I bought wouldn't fit my radios. Only thought I would have is not making enough contact and not enough current to power Tx.

Funny you should ask! I just got through changing the battery myself! You have to squeeze the two oval buttons on the side very hard and make sure the front and back face the right way. If you're very careful you should get one side button on slightly ahead of the other. Don't force it or it will break and you'll have to ducktape it back on!

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.

Just make sure you don't remove the covering that allows it to stick to the battery and you can swap out batteries. You just have to make sure it's arranged right when putting the cover back on. It will make sense when you see it for yourself.

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.

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?

It should be fairly easy to pry the cover off. You can use a small screwdriver or a fingernail to pop the cover in the direction that is indicated by the little arrow 90 degrees from the pocket clip. Mine pops right off and the battery will slide out.

Just pull it apart, like how you would to put battery in. Further than that I don't know, sorry. You may want to contact seller or company for replacement. They shouldn't fall apart from dropping I don't think. ?

Unfortunately the radio has to be turned off to charge. Perhaps the charger does not put out enough power to run the radio and keep it charged. That does not necessarily mean you need a new battery. I have found the batteries a lot longer than a year but I try not to fully discharge them.

MaryI ordered the exact same system you have and had the same problem with my battery. I ordered a new replacement battery and it works great; "I did not want to return the radio when I knew there was not a problem with it". The batteries that are packaged with the radios must be very old or some other defect and will not take a charge.Paul

I owned the radio for only a few months. The radio worked great in every way. However, I dont think the battery can be easily replaced.

I had the same problem and tried to replace the battery. Although replacement batteries are available, Norelco advises against doing so and now I know why. When I attempted to remove the original battery I found it either glued or soldered to the contacts. upon removal the contacts broke off and stayed attached to the battery.
