    • 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.

    • Do not remove the back panels quickly. If too much force is applied, there is a wire connection that will break.

    • CAUTION! Be careful not to force the tabs inward. This will result in broken tabs.
