To pull out and push in the logo panel, follow these steps:
zUse your fingertip to hold the arc notch at the right edge of the logo panel, and then pull the panel
out with appropriate strength. Do not try to pull from any other part of the logo panel.
zThe left part of the logo panel is attached to the chassis through a rubber strip. You can rotate the
strip or turn the logo panel over within the allowed elasticity of the rubber strip. Do not pull out the
strip rudely or turn over the panel excessively; otherwise, the rubber strip may fall off or be broken.
zBefore pushing in the logo panel, make sure that the pin on the left side of the logo panel is inserted
in the corresponding recess of the chassis. Then clip the right side of the panel to the
corresponding recess of the chassis, and push the logo panel until the clip is locked to the chassis.
If the clip is not inserted in the recess, do not push the panel; otherwise the clip may be broken.
