How do you open the battery area? The tab will not pull out to activate them.

The tab DOES open the case. Be careful not to pull so hard as to break it. And be sure the headband piece is completely out of the way. It IS tight.

You must carefully remove the strap holder by lifting one side over its tab and pulling the holder away from the light. You can then open the battery case by pulling the case tabs. Hope this help. Good luck

Very easy to do. Make sure you totally adjust the lamp off of the base so that the back of the lamp is totally exposed. On the right side of the lamp (the side with the power button) you will see a small tab that looks triangular with (open) labeled by it. Pull the end up off the triangle tab.

Remove the orange protective cover. Then you will see the battery compartment which requires a Phillips screwdriver to open.

Battery doors are in bottom. There are 2, one set on each side. There is push clip on front side of door,,,just push it toward middle, while pulling up simultaneously. Just a fingernail in slot should do it easily. Mine were so loose, I have to put scotch tape over the retaining clip on the door, or the batteries fall out while in use.

There is a release button that you press that releases it on the side. Should be! If not reach to the side and pull up from toward the back not the front so as to not pull on the tabs. I don't actually have this I got it for my nephew. If this doesn't help, contact me back and in the meantime I'll ask them and get you a better answer.

If you're looking at the front- (where there is a silver circle button to turn it on), turn it around, and the lower back side, where the silver bottom is higher up along the blue, there is a tiny little button, that if you push, it pops open the battery chamber. Just turn it around, and feel the silver back side, and you'll see: feel it. It's super easy once you see it. Battery directions (+, -) are written on it, and labeled on batteries as well! Let me know if you need more help!

I had the same challenge. Just make sure it's lined up and press a little harder and it closed up for me. If that don't work check the tabs, you might have a return who's tabs are broke

There should be just 1 screw on the tab for the battery box, push the tab towards the middle and it should pop open.

Push the tab on the back and the front bottom will pop off. Insert battery and replace the cover.

Think everyone has this problem. Below the display is a small button like protrusion, push in on that and, volia, the battery door opens on the other side. The plus side of the battery goes down in the holder. You'll love this guage, it works great.

It's easy, Judy, but just a bit counter-intuitive. The Battery button releases the entire top of the mouse. It opens up like a clamshell to reveal the batteries. If you are like me, you are trying to open what appears to be a panel on the bottom of the mouse. It took me awhile to figure it out! Hope this helps.

Have you removed the tabs from the battery compartment? If not, take off the top of the light to access and remove the tabs. I had this same issue :-)

Like Jot said, there is a small compartment that holds the two AA batteries. I sometimes have trouble getting it to slide out. Try applying some downward pressure while pulling on it. Another thing would be the pin. There is a lockout pin that came with the detector that is designed to keep the battery compartment from being opened. If it is in it, you would need to remove it before the compartment is opened. I don't use the pins myself because I change the batteries twice a year.

First u open by turning it to the right and take out the paper it have in it that protects the battery....then u close it to by turning it to the right until it comes on!!!

I've had that problem too. There are three "tabs" that make contact with the battery in the tag, one that wraps around the top and two (from one piece of metal) that contact the sides. For whatever reason I had to make sure these were all bent in further than they were, making a much tighter fit, then put the battery back in, smooth side up, rounded side down and it began working again. Finicky, I guess.

should turn on automatically once tab sticking out from battery case is removed

It is really hard to open! On one side of the battery cover there is a little tab and you push it over toward the center and you pull the cover back at the same time! You can push the little tab over with a small straight screwdriver if you can't get to it with your finger!

Mine is pretty stubborn so I assume you have the same problem. The easiest way for me to do it is to hold the unit in one hand and use the thumbnail of my other hand to pull against the two raised bars at the bottom of the battery cover in the direction of the arrows. Give that a try.
