How do you get the battery cover OFF? Am having trouble. Thanks so much! ☺

There's a small dent where there's a slit in the bottom of the mouse, where your thumb (fingernail) fits. Gently squeeze from right to left and pull outward.

Flip the mouse on its back, push in on indentation for battery and push inward,

I had the same problem and couldn't remember how to get the battery out.The unit separates at the point where the light gray meets the darker gray. Just pull hard enough at that point and the battery compartment will pull out. What probably happens is that it gets residue on the plastic or age just causes it to become more difficult due to not opening it frequently. If you pull hard enough, it will open. It is a single AAA battery that is needed.

Remove? No. But the cord should probably be disconnected. The cover has a short (3 inch?) rat-tail that connects to power. The cover is difficult to get on, although no more so than any other cover I've used. I just would not want to remove and reinstall daily. :-)

Once the top is off, hold the bottom and top at the same time and pull in different directions. The bottom will slip off to reveal the battery case. It takes 1 triple A battery.

Mine is pretty stubborn so I assume you have the same problem. The easiest way for me to do it is to hold the unit in one hand and use the thumbnail of my other hand to pull against the two raised bars at the bottom of the battery cover in the direction of the arrows. Give that a try.

you must remove the orange protective cover, battery compartment located at lower backside, remove cover by removing screw and lift upward

Please, i followed the instructions and removed the one screw. There is no way as i understood it on how to remove the back...there is nothing to get hold of to pull back...unless, one pulls back where the battery is removed,,that is the only place one can get its hands with a grip...but its so tight as i tried to pull back, i was afraid that i may break it. You all make it sound so simple. Could someone supply a picture of how to grip the back? Plus, why doesn't Acer show how its done in their phd ?

There is no battery cover, so it appears that replacement is not intended by the manufacturer. The unit is held together by a rubber cover that covers top, bottom, and sides. This cover is not trivial to remove, but I didn't try very hard.

you can remove one side of the plastic cover, use a knife or something thin to start removing it next to the metal ring. Only one side will come off. then pull out the light and battery holder and replace the batteries

The battery and cover is a tight fit... you have to ensure the cover secure around the entire edge of the case. I found after removing and replacing the cover several times the cover doesn't remain tight and requires additional and specific pressure around the entire edge of the case to close it tightly and completely.

Robert the existing case was already broken and I had to really work and pry off the case. I then placed my new case on the phone. I did not need to take the cover off yet. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

That has happened to me a few times, though it's usually just one edge and not enough that I can't get the rest of the case off without pulling more of the battery cover with it. It's not ideal, I agree, just a downside of the snug fit. I know the instructions say to remove it starting from the bottom edges, but I've found that if you do it from the top and get one edge off without pulling the battery cover with it, and you put a finger in there and run it across toward the other top edge, it tends to come off without any issues. The top snap-in tabs that hold the battery cover on seem to hold better than the bottom ones do when taking the case on and off in my experience.

You do remove the original back cover and put the battery cover on. I ordered from one company (the same thing, I thought?) and I couldn't get it on. Returned it. Ordered from another company and it works GREAT! I love the longer use time.

If you look at the picture, you will see a small oval button which is an on/off switch...click on---click off...works great., and I have had no problems with the battery cover falling off.

I don't think you can easily remove the battery. I even could not find a place to unscrew the back. I guess screw holes are behind the rubber foots.

Hi Robert... if you're talking about taking it out of the holster then - apply pressure at the bottom of the phone and push up (sort of like old BlackBerry cases). If you're talking about taking off the base cover - I haven't found a trick, but I was able work the edges slowly and take it off. I don't believe the manufacturer meant the bade to be separated often (so please be careful not to chip the edge if you wish to reattach). If you find a better way, please share :) Thanks

I am sorry, I had the same problem. I ended up throwing it away and ordering a new one! I did not see any way to open it and replace a battery.
