2. Unhook the side of the cover from the chassis and lift it away to expose the battery door.
3. Use a flat-blade or phillips screwdriver or a coin to remove the three battery door screws and
open the door.
4. Grip the wires for the front set of batteries and pull firmly to disconnect the connector from
the battery compartment. Remove the batteries. Set aside the foam spacer located between the
batteries. Now reach into the battery compartment and grasp either the white cord (if it is
present), or the wires for the other set of batteries. Again, pull firmly to disconnect the con-
nector. Remove the second set of batteries. Note: Be careful removing the batteries — they are
heavy.
