2.4.1 Separating Front Cover and Chassis

1 Remove the antenna.

2 Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver or similar tool between the plastic front cover and

metal chassis as shown below. Carefully lift the chassis out of the cover with the

screwdriver blade. Raise it to approximately the point shown in the next illustration.

3 Slide the chassis out of the top part of the front cover.

Note Before reassembling the front cover and chassis, make sure the UDC (accessory)

connector flex circuit is flat against the side of the front cover. If it is not, the RF Board

shield clip may catch and damage it.

4 When reassembling, examine the perimeter gasket. If it is damaged, replace with a new

gasket. Make sure the perimeter gasket is in place, and then use the screwdriver blade

again as a guide to prevent damage to the bottom part of the gasket as the chassis slides

back in place. Firmly press the chassis and the cover together until they snap in place.
