Call me left-handed but I kept trying to turn the handle clockwise, then pulling the end along the razor's axis, and attempted to flip it up. Nowhere on the promotional box that housed the razor is their any instructions or illustration for opening and inserting the battery. Goes to show that marketing people too close to the product can overlook the most basic of instructions for the innovation they are introducing. Hand it to a stranger and watch how long it takes to figure out how to open the battery compartment up ... especially for left-handed users! Thanks for enlightening me (us) on this small matter.G.T.

Twist the bottom counterclockwise to open. That should reveal the battery compartment. Place the AAA battery in its compartment with the positive(plus) terminal facing into the razor, and reverse the case replacement going clockwise until the Hydrp part of the handle is below the blue positive logo and you're ready to use the razor. Adjust the shaving speeds by pressing the yellow button until you're in one of the 3 speeds. To turn it off,repeat the yellow button action until it stops. Good luck! I like it, but am going to try my Hydro 3 blades and see if there's any difference.

Barbara; You should be able to install yourself. Clip the red clip to the positive post on a battery and the black clip onthe negative post before plugging Battery Tender in. Hope this helps.

It's easy Mate. You carefully unscrew the base. Two of the AA's batteries insert one way..the third the other way. + \ -. The screwcap has two springs..and i tried using that as a guide for a while before I realized, there are two notches in the tailcap...one slightly larger than other...that only allow you to mount the batteries perfectly.

There is a small plastic plug that has to be stuck into the side of the battery. It's a place where one could attach a power cord when the battery isn't charged enough. The plastic plug is in parts envelope.

With the box open and the lid away from you, the battery compartment is on the right side. Push down and toward the outside edge to remove the battery compartment lid and install the battery with the bottom of the battery facing the lid.

You have to use a screwdriver and take the screws out of the solar plate. It lifts off and you can then change the batteries

There are two screws on either side of the on/off switch. Unscrew them and a small battery drawer will come out.

Use a 7/32" Allen head wrench. Access the stub screws from above, turn counterclockwise to loosen, then remove the wires. Naturally, one at a time and unplug from battery first.

Mine did not, but some really small screw drivers will suffice & buy a small assortment of blue plastic pry tools & carefully start out. First thing 1. unplug your power cable, then 2. unlock and remove your battery, then 2. push the power up button to discharge much of the DC voltage still in the unit,

Underneath the mounting plate. Slide the plate off to expose the cover to the battery compartment. Remove the battery cover and install the 6 batteries.

Ok for those of you who can use a Phillips screwdriver and an Allan wrench. Remove the screen mesh and unscrew the speaker. You must do this to get to your battery. Once you see the battery unplug it and take it to Radio Shack. They carry the same battery there. It's usually by the counter. They also use this style of battery for power wheels. Cost is about $24.99. Instalation was a snap cause it's the same style and size, not to mention voltages. My original battery lasted for 3 years and I have been using the replacement kne for 2. It's like changing a car battery. Do it your self.

(1) Hold device steady with one hand, then grip the clear dust/lint compartment and slide it "down" (away from the cutter head). (2) Now notice the battery compartment cover (little images of batteries when you look closely. This battery compartment cover has a small tab on its left side. (3) With just a little gentle force (perhaps using an index finger or a SMALL screwdriver), just push the tab ever so slightly away from the edge (towards the center) and the battery compartment cover should easily come off. (4) Insert four size-C batteries with correct polarity (as indicated on the battery compartment cover) and replace battery cover and slide dust/lint compartment back into place.

Assuming you are still looking for an answer...Flip the remote over, and near the bottom you will see the back is marked with an exclamation point inside of a silver triangle.A this end of the remote, you will see a little clip. This is holding the drawer where the battery is installed. Push the clip towards the middle of the remote with your fingernail and then slide the drawer out.Install the battery with the side marked with a plus sign (+) towards the back of the remote. Slide the drawer back in until the clip locks it into place and you should be set.Good luck!
