l’expression “Détachez le cache du loquet pour le retirer “ est ambigüe et source d’erreur, elle donne à penser qu’il faut retirer un “cache” qui serait sur le loquet.

Ce qu’il faut c’est détacher le cache (la grande plaque où il y a la logo bleu) de la partie fixe sur laquelle se trouve le loquet. Pour ça il faut glisser une lame fine dans la fente entre le cache et la partie fixe.

merci pour le tutoriel.

Once the cover is removed you will be able to see the battery and the two latches that hold it in place.
The two latches should be pulled back, one of which is spring loaded and must be held in place in order to remove the battery.
