      • Locate the line on the right side where the front panel and back panel meet. Place a plastic opening tool in the gap, and run it along the gap. Repeat this on the left side.

      • Use the opening tool to lift the front plate. If a plastic tool is not providing enough leverage, use a metal opening tool.

      • Gently pull up on the face plate to ensure it has been detached from the enclosure.

      • When pulling on the face plate be cautious because it is still connected by wires on the back of the plate.
