Step 1 Kickstand

• Place the device on a hard flat surface with its screen facing downwards.
• Rotate the the kickstand so that the handle grip hole is up in the air and not touching the back of the tablet.
Step 2

• With the spudger still inserted, pry the spudger to the right pushing the latch opening along with it.
• Once the latch is moved to the right, pull up on the left side of the kickstand, releasing it from the back of the tablet.
• Repeat the previous steps for the rightmost latch, and then lift the kickstand off the back of the tablet.
Step 3 Battery

• Insert the plastic opening tool between the seam of the back panel and the front casing to create an initial opening.
• Insert the metal spudger within the opening.
• Move the metal spudger down the seam, prying the back panel open as you go.
• Once a large enough opening is made, pry the entire back panel off with your hand.
