Introduction

WARNING: This is a lithium battery which should be handled with care.

TIPS:

Be sure to check the screwdriver heads before performing this task; otherwise, screws may become damaged. Use an ice cube tray or egg carton, place each screw in its own cup to organize the screws.

What you need

Step 1

              Bottom Outer Casing

Flip the Braven BRV-X upside down so you are facing the bottom side.
With the H1.5 Head Screwdriver, unscrew the four screws.
All screws on this device can be stripped easily. Hold your screwdriver with the thumb on top and swivel with the opposite hand’s thumb and index finger.
Using the #0 Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the four screws on the four corners of the bottom side.
Gently remove the outer casing, which should reveal the inner shell.

Step 3

Using two plastic opening tools, slide under the cover and slowly lift.
There is glue nearly all around the inner shell, so strength will be necessary. When both tools are inserted, you can slide out along the edges.
