Plus down and slide the battery to the left if the camera opening is closest to your body.

I have only been able to insert the batteries one way. The plastic shapes on the inside are designed so that the bulge on the positive side of the battery fits just overtop of a mold, while the smooth side is tight against the edge of the container. If this is reversed, the positive side does not fit in, and the flat side juts over the mold so that the cover cannot close.I would personally recommend keeping only your charged batteries in the case, and using a rubber band or something to bundle your discharged ones until they are replenished. Or you could buy more cases and label them. That would look much better actually. I have only been able to insert the batteries one way.

Turn the lantern upside down. Unscrew the black cover, If the old batteries are still correctly installed, replace them one at a time with the same orientation, replace the cover with the tab in the slot, and screw it down. If the batteries have been removed, take out the inner cage and insert the new batteries in it one at a time with the plus sign as marked. Replace the cage with the batteries sticking out - it only fits one way. Insert the tab on the black cap into the slot, press it down and screw it on.

The manufacturer will install the battery backwards so it doesn't run out during shipping. So if the battery is in but the scale is not on, flip the battery over.

There is a battery holder that flips out of the upper right hand side. The users manual tells you how to do it. If you don't have one look it up on line.

Left side. Ist battery put pos end in first, repeat with 2nd battery on top of 1st,On other side do the opposite. Put neg end in first, repeat with 4th battery,Battery configuration form a "U" shape .With cap off you should see neg end on left and positive end on right With batteries on same configuration on each side.Make sure you align batteries with metal part in cap when screwing on. Wish I could draw a diagram

There is a plus and minus symbol on the device. When it is on and you are connected to someone, press the plus symbol several times. Get a friend to call you.

The spring end always goes to the minus of the battery. It is usually marked.

Had a similar problem when I got mine. I emailed the manufacturer and they told me to slide the LEFT side in first so that the metal plates come in contact before you push the RIGHT side in. It fixed the problem for me. They said it's a very common problem and are updating their manual to prevent users from installing the battery incorrectly.

battery should be placed so that the side with the black ring is facing down, and push toward the LCD display as far as it will go. The display will show a "bar graph" indicating the current condition of the battery.

Maybe you put the battery in backwards? There is some electronics in there that requires correct polarity.

Funny you should ask! I just got through changing the battery myself! You have to squeeze the two oval buttons on the side very hard and make sure the front and back face the right way. If you're very careful you should get one side button on slightly ahead of the other. Don't force it or it will break and you'll have to ducktape it back on!

if you have a starting and acc. battery and a trolling battery, use the two bank charger. pull in,plug in and forget it. after charging full it goes to maintenance mode.

Yes you put into the positive line. That's the side feeding power from the battery.

Very easy...turn the device over..there is a round cap with a slot in it..place a coin in the slot..turn it counterclockwise..the cap will pop off.. pry the battery out taking notice which side of the battery is facing up..replace the new battery the same way.. replace the cap. It is a good idea to check the battery in both the sending and receiving units..I own 3 of these.. and 2 of them had weak old batteries rite out of the box.. I really like them.

you put the negative end on the lower connector on the charger, line it up with the positive connector and push down gently. The battery doesnt lay down totally flat but it will make the connection you need to charge it
