    • On the bottom of the clock, use your fingernail to push the battery cover to the right.

    • Lift the battery cover up and to the right to reveal the batteries.

  3. YDPlflnhPgmcgwpa
    • Remove the two AA batteries by pressing the end opposite of the spring towards that spring and lifting up.

    • Once the batteries are removed, close the cover.

    • Use a long Phillips #2 screwdriver to unscrew all six 10mm Phillips screws inside the bottom of the clock.

    • Turn over the device to allow the screws to fall out, being careful to catch them so that you do not lose any.

    • The screws may not come out of the bottom of the clock. As long as you have unscrewed them, the clock can still be opened.
