I have an remote sensor temperature unit that only the red light blinks

It doesn't register the temperature on the inside monitor. Does the remote temperature sensor have a battery and if so how do I open it?

And the whole system it is connected to, can you tell me some details about it too?
Customer Reply
That's the only thing connected to the remote. It indicates temperature inside, outside and time. It will connect to more devices such as humidity etc.

Yes, but did you try anything to fix it yourself? That's the question:)

It has a flashing red light on the outside unit.

The outside unit looks like this, right?
Customer Reply
That's the one. How do I get it open to check the battery without a hammer. I didn't remove the four screws in the back.

No need to remove the screws, and hide the hammer:)
See the three white lines in the middle of it?
Customer Reply
Yes, I tried to open it by sliding it off like other things but it won't move. Is that all I have to do?

I'm pretty sure you need to slide it down
Can you send me a pic of your unit?
Customer Reply
I'll try it and see again.

To attach pictures to our chat, you need to press the paper clip button in the lower right corner of the chat window. Then you have either to choose an image on your device or take a photo right away. Then confirm sending.

Yah. I don't know but it came off. It may have been frozen from ice.

Great to hear! Can you try swapping the batteries?
Customer Reply
I'm doing that now.

That did it. Thank you for answering a dumb question.
How do I put the cover back on?

Oliver Maslou Tech Expert & Writer
The question is dumb only if it's not asked, *****. You are all good:)
As for the cover, line it up with the rails on the unit and simply slide it up
