Step 3

Insert a new NiMH battery with the small metal contact points facing down. Be sure to align the battery properly so that the metal contact points match up with the small metal prongs inside the battery compartment. If the red "Stop" sign is visible when inserting the battery, it is upside down and must be turned over to be properly installed.
