The battery is located on the bottom of the camera.
Remove the battery by placing your thumb on the bottom flap and sliding the release button away from the side the lens is on. (The screwdriver is simply used as a reference point, no screws need to be removed)
If the battery is dead, charge it for 60-90 minutes.
When installing a charged battery, align the battery appropriately. The positive signs and negative should line up.
