Use a small flat screwdriver or the like and gently, slowly push the battery covers out sideways just far enough to lift up the battery covers by the top end of the cover.

Since the batteries are tightly fit in the compartments, remove the bottom battery first while gently holding down the blue cushion rubber to keep it from falling out of place.
