Somehow you are supposed to guess that to replace the batteries, you must open the back with the two big screws.
Once you're inside, you can read the instruction as how to open the back. The inside has instructions to change the batteries, in English. While swapping the cells you can take a look at the switch carousel in the top of the radio.
