After you remove the battery case, there is one clip below the name Coleman, press in on the clip, then while holding the clip down open the lid....it's a lid with a hinge and does not come off, very easy to open. the four D cells fit in a pattern. The bottom of the D cell fits to the '' O " looking connector, the top of the battery fits to the raised DASH looking connector.

You need to pinch opposite sides of the battery flap with one hand and then release the top of the flap with your other hand. If you look at the flap on the back of the battery, you can see the hinges on the bottom of the flap which will help you see which side to release.

It has two clips on either side. (Left and Right) This is where the batteries are housed. Just pull straight out and the cover will come off. Should be the same for the top cover. Gently pull one side at a time.

I can't get the back off of mine, either. I've tried off and on for 2 months to remove it. However, I've not been able to locate batteries, so I've given up trying to remove the back cover.

Go to ifixit.com. You'll need a couple of easy to find tools. Carefully use a pocket knife to pop off the back cover. Then I used a small wooden rod (stick) with a point created by using a pencil sharpener. This is used to carefully and slowly push the connector out of its socket. The battery is held on with double sided tape. Work it off. Go easy.

Pop off the front plastic cover. There might be one screw holding the batteries in behind a plate. Once removed, there is an electrical connector that needs to be disconnected. The batteries should slide out just by pulling on them. If they don't budge, they might be bulged. In that case, you would need to disassemble the chassis some more.

I was going through the same thing and read suggestions here. They really helped. I ended up using a small safety pin bent up and sat on table pointing up.Pressed the tiny hole onto to it all the way and then used a mid size short screw driver to nudge that batter cover off. So glad it worked!

Ha! Funny you should ask because I have to change my battery also. If you look at your two ear pieces you will notice that half of one is half black and half green. That is where the batteries are located at. Gently, with your fingers, push up and that black cover should move and then lift it off. Once you are done make sure that you snap it back into place and that it is firmly secured.

I couldn't figure it out either. The instruction sheet is hidden between the paperboard insert in the packaging. The gridded panel on the underside slides over and comes off revealing the battery covers.

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.

I was stumped too at first. The battery cover is under the handle. Just lift it a bit and you'll see the edges of the battery cover. I remember it sliding off, although it's been a while.

I had the same problem and couldn't remember how to get the battery out.The unit separates at the point where the light gray meets the darker gray. Just pull hard enough at that point and the battery compartment will pull out. What probably happens is that it gets residue on the plastic or age just causes it to become more difficult due to not opening it frequently. If you pull hard enough, it will open. It is a single AAA battery that is needed.

There is a cover with ridges on the back. Press on the ridges and push away from the temple sensor and the cover will slide away. Then you can replace the two AAA bateries.

You are in the right spot, but getting the battery cover off is a difficult job. Even the maintenance man where I live had ahard time getting it off with a flat screwdriver! I taped the screw to the bottom of the disc and just set the battery cover back in place. This was the only fault I found with this item.

I had same problem. Poor design and no instructions included. I ended up breaking the clip to the cover to get to the battery compartment.

you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing. Just go slow and dont force anything. you need the old casing!!!!after opening clean off ledges on casing. the batteries have a part number on them. go on line and buy a couple. under $3 apiece. use solding iron to remove and install new one/ones. note how they are wired up and install same way,,, put back together and use just a dab of crazy glue. peace you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing.

I contacted the Tekton rep and he said that the batteries are replaceable. There are two screws that need to be removed to get to them. I have not taken mine apart yet so I don't know how careful you will need to be when removing the cover. The device has 1 CR2032 3V Lithium cell and 3 LR44 1.5V button cells.

On the front of the unit, right side, unscrew (counter clockwise) with allen wrench (I forget what size). batteries are inside. Insert three 394 size button cells positive side facing you. Replace cover.
