How do you get the battery compartment open. I just purchased a used swing.

We have always just used the ac adapter, but I think you can use a flat head screwdriver to open it up.

There is a pull apart velcro seam on the left side of the mane. Open it and the battery box is inside.

There is a small gap between the battery slide and the handle. I used a small screwdriver to push down just above the arrow in the gap. There is a small plastic hook there that slides up under the handle portion when closed and once it is pushed down you can slide it open. Hope this helps.

Turn it bottom up. Then look for a square depression in the plastic bottom. Look real close in good light and you will see an symbol that shows what direction to push and slide to open the compartment for the battery.

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...

Use rechargeble batteries. I use the adapter I bought from http://cgi.ebay.com/2AA-to-D-Battery-Adapter-Converter-Case-X-4_W0QQitemZ350237789013QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item518bcc8b55&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14and I just found this, someone actually made this adapter to fit the swing.http://cgi.ebay.com/Plug-in-AC-Adapter-to-SAVE-MONEY-on-4-D-cell-batteries_W0QQitemZ250470853418QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3a5139eb2a&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

If you lift up the light panel, there should 2 screws you turn which opens the battery compartment. Easy to replace

While looking at the rubber eye piece side of the gx-3i, you will see the battery compartment below the eye piece. There is a small indentation on the bottom where you can put your finger under and pry it up. This will allow you to turn the battery cover counter clockwise, allowing access to insert the battery. After inserting the battery you simply use the lever to turn it clockwise to lock the battery compartment. Then push the lever back flush with the cover. Good luck!!! BTW, this is an awesome range finder. Be sure to focus the eye piece like you would a pair of binoculars.

You have to pull the handle up and out of the blade area. Charge the battery and turn the key.

After you take out the screw, there is a little "clip" that you have to open to get the battery compartment open.

To access the battery compartment, separate the red cover from the black backing. I will try to attach a photo.

Sorry to be so slow answering. We were away for several days and just got in. I think we opened by placing a screw driver in each slot (one under clip, one at one end) simultaneously and twisting carefully. As I recall, the unit opened into two halves. Incidentally, when I tested the battery it was OK so we had a failed unit and had to order a complete replacement opener.

I just went & opened mine, just to be sure. It was a piece of cake. Open the safe, push down the tab at the top of the battery compartment & pull it out & down. It's pretty simple. It catches at the top & the bottom just has a slot it sits in.

There are two little tabs on the back side for two battery locations. Just pull on the tabs and it will open.

You need a small screwdriver, I believe a Phillips head, to open the battery compartment. You can replace battery. If it still doesn't turn on then you need to send back to replace.

Same here; frustrating it does not open even with thorough cleaning and fresh batteries; I'm thinking of returning to step lever to open lid. How hard is that?

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!
