How do you open the case on a S&W 4" caliper to replace battery

This is a stupid question, but how in the heck do you open the case on a S&W 4" electronic caliper to replace the battery? What passes as "instructions" doesn't mention this, and I can see no screws that holds the 2 parts of the case together. I tried prying the case apart, but I didn't want to apply too much pressure without knowing what I was doing. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not familiar with this brand, but I own several other brands. Look for an area that looks like it should be the battery cover and slide it, don't pry. I've been looking at pictures of the S&W calipers on e-bay, it looks like the battery cover is to the right of the display. Try sliding it to the right and see if it moves.

Centaur 1,
You are right. Don't know why I didn't see the arrow to the right of the display. I pushed it - voila it opened. The display is much brighter now and I'm not getting flashing numbers. THANKS!!
