While holding the remote in your right hand, put you right thumb on the three lines of the battery door, put your left thumb on the middle of the battery door, put the rest of your left fingers underneath up against the bottom button. Now push your thumbs to the left as you push the rest of the remote with left hand to right. Remote goes in one direction as the battery door goes in the other direction.

I’m starting to think my remote is just jammed or stuck, because it won’t move no matter how much I slide and pry the panel...just to clarify, there are no external buttons I should be pressing in order to make it slide open, right?
you’re saying I just need to push it at the three lines that are supposed to act as a grip?

Yes the three lines are simple to give you a grip. and no there are no buttons to release the battery door. 😞
- makaiguy6 years agoCommunity Streaming ExpertYou need to push inward on the three lines to actually distort the back a bit to make it release. While pushing in, try to slide the cover toward the end of the remote (to the left as shown in your image).

The new version Roku voice remote is rechargeable. The cover doesn’t come off. There are no three groove dots on the back. The new version Roku voice remote is rechargeable. The cover doesn’t come off.
- renojim4 years agoCommunity Streaming ExpertMaybe the cover doesn't come off of the Voice Remote Pro, but it can certainly be opened. Why anyone other than me would want to open it is another question. :-)
