There are 2 holes on top in middle of contacts flip detector over, slide batteries in w/holes in up position.

Thanks, Got it. I also called the dealer and Russ told me that when you install the battery pack, the bottom of it will have a metal tab like one of the contacts on the battery, it goes to the LEFT when inserting the pack into the unit, that's if you have the shaft resting on your shoulder and your looking straight down into the empty unit. He is going to sagest putting this info into the manual, I marked mine with a sharpy incase I forget later, Gotta go dig! have a great day everyone

If in doubt, check the instruction manual.

If you look closely at the bottom left and right of the battery compartment, there is a little + and - symbol stamped into the case to let you know for sure which way it goes in. The little contact is the + and the big one is the -, just like on a 9V battery.

I go by that little hole on the battery case and locate it up...but one of these days I'm going to stick on some sort of sticker that's easy to see or feel in the dark I tell myself. Common question by the way...maybe next run batch will have something distinguishable.
