To replace the battery in the ATD Tools ATD-5540:

1. Loosen the three screws in the case back.
2. Remove the case by lifting up and forward.
3. Replace the battery with a 9-volt alkaline battery.

If screws are not visible, they may be covered or recessed. Inspect the back closely for hidden screw covers and remove them to access the screws.
