There is a tiny tiny screw to the right of the "squeeze and lift" section right below the "open" word. Both compartments have a tiny screw in that deep tiny whole.

There are 2 battery compartments on the underside of Pete. they both have a tab, AND a small screw to secure them.. you will need a very small phillips screw driver to get the screw out. Hope this is helpful.

It sounds like your battery door is not properly closed. Open it using the slide latch on the bottom edge of the unit. Open & remove the battery door. Make sure the top is properly indexed into the case and then firmly press it shut.

I had the same problem so I called Bell and Howell and reached a tech person who said the door is very tight to keep water out. To open, hold the camera bottom facing up, in your left hand with your left thumb over the upside down letters "CEPC' and next to the release lever. With your right hand slide the small release lever down and at the same time using a lot of force press down hard with your left thumb and sliding the battery door to the left. It's not easy and may take you several attempts before you are successful.

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.

I couldn't figure it out either. The instruction sheet is hidden between the paperboard insert in the packaging. The gridded panel on the underside slides over and comes off revealing the battery covers.

There are grooves on the side of the blinky. Grab a quarter, stick in the groove and turn the quarter. It should allow it to snap open. Place the battery and snap back into place.

Yeah, it's tricky in that you have to make sure you push the green button *horizontally* towards the battery, and it's kind of difficult to do completely, *before* you pull up on the battery handle to lift it out. Hope this helps.

Sadly, my husband and I could NOT even get the battery compartment open...despite several tools. We gave up!

Press down on end of clip and lift it up off of the battery compartment. This exposes the push opening in the middle of the battery compartment. Simply push that to open the compartment. RT

You should be able to just twist the device to the right to loosen it from the mounting plate. Unplug the line to the hard wiring, and then you will be able to access the battery compartment.

Turn the lid upside down and press down on the center of the raised area. The rest of the lid will detach and you'll find the battery compartment in the part that detached.

There are two screws on either side of the on/off switch. Unscrew them and a small battery drawer will come out.

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

The battery cover is screwed in. It is closed with a single small screw and you would need a small screwdriver to open/close it.

With the box open and the lid away from you, the battery compartment is on the right side. Push down and toward the outside edge to remove the battery compartment lid and install the battery with the bottom of the battery facing the lid.

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.
