Steps:

1. Flip the device to the backside, and locate the metal tab at the center of the back cover.

3. Lift the battery plate off to either insert or remove 2 AA batteries.

4. With the wedge side of a spudger (or a small, flat head screwdriver), remove the black rubber case support from the device body.

5. With the pick side of a spudger (or tweezers), peel the sticky tape from the device.

6. Split the front and rear panels by inserting a small pointed tool (such as a pen point or a screwdriver tip SL1.5) in the 5 plastic tabs along the sides of the device.
7. Do not remove the back panels quickly. If too much force is applied, there is a wire connection that will break.
8. CAUTION! Be careful not to force the tabs inward. This will result in broken tabs.

9. With tweezers (or your fingernails), carefully disconnect the wires between the PC input and the motherboard.
