Hi @Remote__ You need to remove the back of the remote to replace the batteries. This can be a bit of a problem as the first couple of times you try to remove the back it is very stiff.

I find holding the remote at both ends with the buttons down and my thumbs on top and then applying pressure and pushing with one thumb and pulling with the other in the direction of the arrow is sufficient to remove the cover. Note the back only moves a few millimetres and can then be lifted off.

A number of people have found that wearing rubber kitchen gloves helps to give more purchase on the plastic components.
