How do you open the battery cover???

I used a coin to pry it open. Was difficult at first, but after I opened it once it was alright.

I used a nail file that is attached to my nail clippers to open but I assume you can use anything that is thin and flat and sturdy. The battery opening is stupidly made for sure.

It was tight but I was able to snap it open with a little effort. Pull on side opposite of protruding plastic tab.

Turn the mouse over and on the bottom is a cover marked "OPEN". Use a small coin or fingernail to pry this off. This is where the batteries (2 "AAA") are inserted. Be careful when placing a battery over the small plastic strip to leave a small strip available to make it easier to remove the bottom battery.

This has been improved recently so the battery cover will be easier to open on all the mice we produce going forward. Sorry about the trouble.

Can't help. I returned it because I couldn't even figure out how to open the battery compartment!

Twist off the top plastic cover and take out the old battery. Replace it with new and put cover back on

Hello, there is a cover on the bottom that allows access to the battery. With the mouse upside down, and pointed forward, pull back on the battery cover and then pull on the battery helper-ribbon. The battery will come out very easily by pulling on that ribbon. Don't worry, it's easy:)

I also have trouble getting the battery cover open. It works best if you pull up at the notch on top with you finger nail while pushing up on the cover.

The back on mine is a rubber cover, push it down or up, I do not have it in hand now, and then the door should just swing open exposing the battery and the sd card slot as well as a setting switch for HI/LO

Hi Robin, I'm assuming you are referring to the cover for the batteries? What I do is place both my thumbs on the cover and really put pressure on it and twist to open. It gets easier to open over time. I bought this a few months ago. Hope this helps...

On the back of the numeric keypad, there is a screw about 2 inches from the bottom edge. Take a very thin blade type screwdriver and turn the screw 5 or 6 revolutions. Then, insert the screwdriver or your fingernail in the gap between the large panel of the back and the small panel of the back and pry open the battery cover. For best results, use the thinnest blade screwdriver you can find. The slot on the screw is very narrow, so a regular size screwdriver won't fit inside the slot. You need a very thin blade.

There is a small Slot at the top of the casing that is easy to open with a small blade or screw driver or in fact, I can open it with my finger nail. Once opened you simply take out the small button battery and replace it, then simply snap the top of the casing shut. There is also a little diagram in the instructions explaining how to change the battery.

I bought this for my mother and she has told me she cannot get the battery cover off. I'm not there to figure it out, so hoping someone can explain the battery compartment configuration? Does it have a tab to press?

Use your thumb to open the door for the battery, pull the little white plug wire to disconnect the old battery. Plug in the new battery and close the cover door. Job complete

If you look at the battery cover on the back, you will see a small tab. With your fingernail or something like a popsicle stick catch the slightly pointed end and push it to to battery cover, closing the 1/8" gap, When it touches the battery cover, lift it. You are correct, it's not the easiest one to open.

I finally got mine open. I had to push in on the battery compartment cover so hard that I was afraid that I was going to break it, while sliding it outward.

If you mean "how to remove battery", simply firmly hold batery by the end and pull straight down. It's actually very easy to remove.

That little indentation on the left hand side is a batter cover. It's pretty tight but you turn it counterclockwise, remove it, and replace the batteries.

Try a coin. It is kind of hard at first, but if you push up on it, it snaps out. There looks like two openings for the battery, but it's the upper one. The lower is for the little circular stand that comes with it.

there's lots of videos on the internet on how to replace the battery -- essentially it's 1) prying open the back cover, 2) pulling the old battery out (it's glued in, so do it slowly and carefully), then 3) pulling the little white plug out, and then 4) replacing it in the same fashion with your new battery, and replacing the back cover. It snaps in, you just need to do it carefully.Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi2RoheGfzg
