For this, push the lid away to the back in the direction of the arrow.
- Next, remove the battery compartment. Just pull it out of the housing.
- If you want to replace the batteries, remove the old batteries first.
- Then insert 4 new AA batteries into the battery compartment.
Always ensure correct polarity. How to insert the batteries is marked in the battery compartment by illustrations.
