    Do you mean remove the computer module from the console boot or get the battery hatch off the computer module?

    Battery replacement itself is covered starting on page 84 of the manual http://diveaeris.com/PDF/12-7195-r02.pdf

    To Remove the module from the unit just gently pry it out with a butter knife - you may even be able to distort the rubber console to the point that you can pop the module out with no tools at all
    (I can get my wife's XR1 out without tools).

    Thanks for the info.
    It is the removal of the module from the console so I will try your suggestion, just did not want to start prying and poking and then find out OOPS.

    A little tip if you are having trouble removing the computer from the boot, you will need to soak it in hot tap water. Not boiling water just hott water. It will sofen the boot and make it much easier to get out
