    • Insert the new battery at a downward angle into its recess, positive (+) side facing up.

    • A small piece of angled metal secures the battery in its recess.

    • Press down on the battery so it sits flush in the recess.

    • The display should turn on. If it doesn't, even after pressing the on/off button, the battery may be upside down or already dead.
