Default Carrera 4 catalog in mail - battery dead?

I just received a nifty Carrera 4 catalog in the mail. It looks like it's got a card of some kind on it with a button you can push, and I'm assuming some lights come on, or something. But nothing happens.

It's been sitting in my PO Box for a couple weeks (I don't check my box often), and I'm wonder if it's broken, or if the battery died.

Anybody else get one of these? What does it do when you push the button? I'm curious!

Have you tried holding it down for a few seconds?
These battery powered cards tend to last awhile.

Yeah, I tried momentarily pressing it, and holding it down for at least 10 seconds. Nothing

I would take back to my Pcar dealer, I am certain it is covered under "WARRANTY"

The camera in my iPhone is horrible (dirty/cracked lens I think), so am trying to find another way to take a pic. Will post pic as soon as I'm able. It's a really cool piece of marketing they sent out. Surprised to find nobody else has posted anything about it.
