Étape 4

The white front covering of the device is held to the yellow back covering by four clips on the back covering which fit into tabs on the front covering.
When separating the front and back cover, be careful not to separate the red and black wires which connect the batteries to the motherboard. Do not forcefully pull the two coverings apart.
Insert the plastic opening tool into the seam between the front and back coverings to create a gap. The tools edge should point toward the front covering. It is easiest to start from the bottom of the device and slide the tool around the seam until all clips have been separated from the tabs.
