to the floor, it may be internally damaged and must be scrapped.
Ensure all surfaces, fixtures, and phone components contacting the Battery are smooth and clean.
Ensure Battery and its insulation are not damaged (e.g. scratched, dented, punctured) prior to and throughout
assembly.
Prior to assembly, ensure Battery edges and surfaces are not dented or deformed, and that fixtures and parts that
will contact the Battery are free of foreign material.
Ensure screws and screwdrivers do not contact the Battery.
Failure to adhere to Safety Critical Note(s) may increase risk of rupture, burning, or failure to function safely when
used by the customer.

All dimensions are in millimeters (mm). The following gaps are considered maximum allowable without further approval
from a supervisor. Measure gaps at an angle perpendicular to the surface/area being measured. Feeler Gauges must
not be used at an angle as they will give false-positive results.

*Generic Lens Removal Fixtures 4-00-X2-10000 and 4-00-X7-10000 are identical tools. The only difference is the
voltage rating. Either the 4-00-X2-10000 or the 4-00-X7-10000 can be used with the Styx Lens Removal Fixture (4-00X6-10000).
**Hot Plates 4-00-Z2-10000 and 4-00-Z3-10000 are identical tools. The only difference is the voltage rating. Either the
220V 4-00-Z2-10000 or the 110V 4-00-Z3-10000 can be used with the Lens Heating Nest (4-00-X5-10000).
1. Use a fingernail in the USB Port to unsnap the
bottom of the Sideband from the Housing.
2. Peel the Sideband away from the Housing to
disengage the snaps and remove the Sideband.
Inspect the Water Detection Label (WDL) visible
through the opening next to the Label Tray, to
verify it is correctly placed and inspect it for signs
of activation.
Use the flat end of the Blackstick to unsnap the
SIM Cover from the Housing.
If the controller on the Generic Lens Removal
Fixture must be adjusted, see the user manual on
page 126.
If the Display Lens is damaged, continue to
Display Removal (Damaged Display Lens Only)
on page 30. Do not use the Display Removal
(With Display Removal Fixture) procedure if the
Display Lens is damaged.
Pre-Heat Method A and Pre-Heat Method B are
optional procedures that may be used to reduce
the Display Removal process time.
1. Verify that the Vacuum O-ring is positioned in the
Generic Lens Removal Fixture (4-00-X210000/4-00-X7-10000) as shown.
The Generic Lens Removal Fixture vacuum will
not perform correctly if the Vacuum O-ring is not in
position.
2. Place the Styx Lens Removal Fixture (4-00-X6-
10000) into the Generic Lens Removal Fixture.
3. Press the black power switch (not shown) on the
back of the Generic Lens Removal Fixture to turn
the fixture ON.
4. Turn the vacuum knob (circled) clockwise until it
stops.
5. Wait 5-10 minutes for the Generic Lens Removal
Fixture to warm up to 100 °C (212°F).
Damage to the assembly may occur if the Generic
Lens Removal Fixture is not warmed up to
operating temperature before use.
1. Place the Lens Heating Nest (4-00-X5-10000) on
the Hot Plate.
If the Lens Heating Nest and Hot Plate are not
available or not appropriate, use Pre-Heat Method
B on page 26 or skip to Display Removal on page
27.
2. Set the Hot Plate to 110 °C (230 °F).
Do not set the Hot Plate temperature higher than
110 °C (230 °F). Damage to the phone may
occur.
3. Wait 5-10 minutes for the Hot Plate to warm up.
4. Place the phone in the nest.
5. Wait 3 minutes for the Display to warm up.
6. Remove the phone from the nest.
Wear protective gloves when handling heated
phones.
7. Continue to Display Removal on page 27.
For phones with a damaged Display Lens,
continue to Display Removal (Damaged Display
Lens Only) on page 30.
1. Pre-heat the Oven to 70 °C (158 °F).
If the Oven is not available or not appropriate, skip
to Display Removal on page 27.
Do not set the Oven temperature higher than
70 °C (158 °F). Damage to the phone may occur.
2. Place the phone in the Oven.
3. Wait 25 minutes for the Display to warm up.
4. Remove the phone from the Oven.
Wear protective gloves when handling heated
phones.
5. Continue to Display Removal on page 27.
For phones with a damaged Display Lens,
continue to Display Removal (Damaged Display
Lens Only) on page 30.
1. Place the phone in the Styx Lens Removal
Fixture with the Display facing down and the
Headset Jack facing the front of the fixture.
2. Press down on the Styx Lens Removal Fixture
and press the red button to turn on the vacuum
pump.
3. Hold the Styx Lens Removal Fixture down until
the gauge (circled) reaches -90 kPa. When the
gauge reaches -90 kPa, remove your hand from
the Styx Lens Removal Fixture.
4. Wait for the Styx Lens Removal Fixture to spring
up.
The lid on the Generic Lens Removal Fixture is
spring loaded, and will automatically open when
the Display is separated from the Housing.
5. Press the red button to turn off the vacuum
pump.
6. Turn the vacuum knob (circled) counter-
clockwise to release the vacuum.
7. Remove the phone from the Styx Lens Removal
Fixture.
Wear protective gloves when handling heated
parts.
8. Use the Thin Plastic Spudger to separate the
remaining adhesive from the USB side of the
phone.
Do not insert the Thin Plastic Spudger farther than
necessary. The Lens may separate from the
Display.
9. Use the Tweezers to disconnect the Battery.
To avoid damage to the Display, the Battery must
be disconnected before disconnecting the Display
Flex.
10. Use the Tweezers to remove the Kapton® Tape
from the Display Flex ZIF Connector Door.
After you remove the Kapton Tape, you
cannot reuse it.
11. Use the Blackstick to open the Display Flex ZIF
Connector Door.
12. Slide the Display Flex free from the ZIF
Connector.
Do not damage the Display Flex.
13. Verify that the Display Flex is disconnected and
that no other connection exists between the
Display and the phone assembly.
14. Lift the Display out of the Housing.
The phone may be pre-heated before Display
removal. See Pre-Heat Method A on page 25 and
Pre-Heat Method B on page 26 for pre-heating
instructions.
1. Slide the Thin Plastic Spudger into the gap
between the Display and the Housing.
This procedure should only be performed if the
Display Lens is damaged.
2. Move the Thin Plastic Spudger around the edge
of the Display to free the adhesive.
Do not insert the Thin Plastic Spudger deeper
than 1 mm. Deeper insertion may separate the
Display and Lens and cause damage.
While moving the Thin Plastic Spudger around the
Display, insert a shim or Thin Plastic Spudger
between the separated edges to prevent the
Display from re-adhering to the Housing.
