It is about 2 to 3 yrs old and I think we need new batteries. It has a sleep button at th etop left and a Timer button on top right. I cant figure out where the battery hatch is. I assume we need to get the slider off and maybe it is there?
Also, where can I buy a new one?
Thanks, Ian [email protected]

When sliding the bottom part of the remote down, you have to lift it slightly (I did this with a letter opener - very carefully) to pry the door up from two stops that normally prevent the dorr from sliding down too far. If you look carefully, you can see what I mean.
Very helpful, thanks! Worked easily once you know how!

Yes it is at back of slide door of your remote, slide down the remote control door and remove it then you can see the battery inside.
Keep the slider closed and using a flat screwdriver carefully pop off one side and the slider will clip off the batteries are behind it
My ARDL-10 remote would only slide down far enough to expose the controls inside, but not far enough to show battery compartment. After a lot of attempts I gently pushed up on one side with it opened as far as it would go and it "clicked" off the little catch that was holding it. I put it back on in the reverse after I installed new batteries..

"Dead" Remotes Can Be Saved
How to Re-Start Your "Dead" Remote Control
This only takes about a minute and will restart 1 in 3 "Dead" Original Remote Controls. Good Luck!
-----------------------------
Step 1- Pull the batteries out of the remote and leave them out until Step 4.
Step 2- Press and release each and every button one at a time on the remote control until every button has been pressed and released at least once!
Step 3- If your remote has slide switches, you must move the switch to each position then repeat the button pushing in Step 2.
(When you're done, be sure to put the slide switch in the correct position to operate the unit the remote came with!)
Step 4- Put the batteries back into the remote, being very careful to install them correctly.
New batteries should be used if you're not sure about the old ones.
Step 5- Try the remote.
Special Note:
If you have a digital camera, camcorder or camera phone you can test the remote to see if it is emitting a signal. Face the remote towards the lens of the digital unit until you can see the front of the remote. Depress any button on the remote. You should see a light (steady, blink or flashing) being emitted from the remote. If you do then the problem might not be the remote but the sensor on the unit.
If it works, Great!
If not, it's time to call 1-800-Remotes or use this website to order a new remote.
