A reversed battery completely prevents operation. Make sure the panel closes with a distinct click.

This indicator should show a “green bar” or an equivalent symbol for a good battery.

Inspect the battery compartment contacts. Carefully remove the batteries and examine the metal contacts. If there are signs of corrosion, dirt, or oxidation, clean them with a dry, soft cloth. Dirty contacts significantly reduce electricity transmission.
