If you have lost the tool, you can also use a butter knife to turn the battery which will pop right out.

There is a small tool/tester that came with it mine was green I believe ...if you look on collar there is a big round piece with a slot in it and a small arrow pointing to a pic of a lock turn it to the pic of the unlocked lock

You can use the plastic piece that is provided (half moon shaped) or a quarter.

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.

It can be taken out. The battery is in a compartment at your feet. A screwdriver is needed to open the compartment.

You should be able to just twist the device to the right to loosen it from the mounting plate. Unplug the line to the hard wiring, and then you will be able to access the battery compartment.

This is very simple to open. You twist open where the arrows are for your batteries and then the battery holder just pulls out of the little holes that you line up. Just pull up, it comes right off! Just hold the bottom and pull gently on the black part.

Push the battery to the right. The left side will pop out. Then pull the battery up. Ta-da!

I have had no problems removing the battery. Make sure you are pulling it from the right side. As the picture shows from the top. If you try from the bottom it has a latch and its impossible to remove from that end. Hope this helps. G.

Turn it bottom up. Then look for a square depression in the plastic bottom. Look real close in good light and you will see an symbol that shows what direction to push and slide to open the compartment for the battery.

I don't think you can easily remove the battery. I even could not find a place to unscrew the back. I guess screw holes are behind the rubber foots.

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.

Yes, it can be difficult to get this battery out of the overhead door compartment. Many years ago I tried in vain to wiggle it out or use flat head screw drivers. But, then the solution came to me and was very simple. Ronn Berrol touches upon it....get a piece of strong duct tape, wrap it around your finger with the sticky side out then place finger against the side of the battery and pull. Comes out with no problem.

How do you open the battery compartment? I replaced the battery once, but this time I cannot open the compartment.

Looking at it as it is pictured (yellow button on the right) there is a small black tab sticking out from the bottom side of the read out. Push that tab up through the readout, the large slider should push out the topside. Pull it all the way out. Put the battery in + side down. Then put it back together. I hope this helps.

First u open by turning it to the right and take out the paper it have in it that protects the battery....then u close it to by turning it to the right until it comes on!!!

The battery cover is screwed in. It is closed with a single small screw and you would need a small screwdriver to open/close it.

Thanks Brianlatz! I swear I couldn't figure out how to put the battery in so I finally just decided to shove it in. But then the little ring wouldn't fit. Now I can't take it out. I thought there must have been an easier way. Thank god for google which led me here. lol. Geez. How the hell am I going to take the battery out now???

There are 2 battery compartments on the underside of Pete. they both have a tab, AND a small screw to secure them.. you will need a very small phillips screw driver to get the screw out. Hope this is helpful.
