Remove the battery cover on the nuvi 500 series

The nuvi 500 series devices have a battery that can be removed or replaced.

To remove the battery cover:

1. Place the nuvi in the palm of your hand
2. On the left hand side of the device, you will find a sliding switch
3. Slide the switch in the upward position
4. Hold the button in the upward position until you hear the battery cover click
5. Release the button and the battery cover should become loose enough to open the battery door

The battery can now be removed from the nuvi.
