How to Open Samsung Remote?
First, turn the remote over and find where the back cover slides off from the device. It helps to use your thumbs to then slide the backside forward to open a crack on the front side of your TV remote. Take advantage of this gap, grip firmly, and slide the cover off the rest of the way until your remote is fully open.
Opening a Samsung Remote Control
When you are ready to open the Samsung Remote, flip the device over so you look at the back.
This is where you will find the previously mentioned sliding cover that contains the battery compartment.
This hard plastic cover slides downward, and Samsung imprints directional arrows and prompts on the unit to make this process easier for consumers trying to open the compartment to change the remote’s batteries.
Slide the cover down, following the imprinted prompt, until a crack or gap is exposed.
Once you see this opening, it is easy to firmly slide open the cover the rest of the way-gaining full access to the battery compartment inside the device.
There are typically instructions inside this compartment for the user, also, regarding unit compatibility and specs.
To replace the cover, simply put the plastic cover back in position and firmly slide it back in place, upward.
