1. Use the Heat Gun to heat the Rear Inlay to a

maximum temperature of 120˚ F (49˚ C) for 2 minutes. The Heat Gun must be held approximately 4 in. (10 cm) from the Rear Inlay.

Complete this step only if the Rear Inlay will be reused. If the Rear Inlay will not be reused, skip this step.

2. Insert the Inlay Pin Guide into the SIM Tray slot.

3. Insert the Inlay Ejection Pin into the guide hole

on the Inlay Pin Guide.

4. Push the Inlay Ejection Pin until it lifts the Inlay

away from the Rear Housing to allow the Thin Plastic Spudger to be inserted under the Rear Inlay.

Do not insert the Inlay Ejection Pin farther than necessary to allow the Thin Plastic Spudger to be inserted. Damage to the Rear Inlay may occur.

5. Insert the Thin Plastic Spudger in the gap

created by the Inlay Ejection Pin.

6. Move the Thin Plastic Spudger around the

perimeter of the Rear Inlay to loosen the adhesive between the Rear Inlay and Rear Housing.

To avoid damaging the Bridge Flex, do not use the Thin Plastic Spudger in the indicated area.

7. Lift the top edge of the Rear Inlay to separate the

adhesive from the Rear Housing. Maintain thumb pressure on the center of the Rear Inlay while lifting the top edge.

8. Lift the bottom edge of the Rear Inlay to separate

the adhesive from the Rear Housing. Maintain thumb pressure on the center of the Rear Inlay while lifting the bottom edge.

9. Lift the side of the Rear Inlay opposite of the

Side Keys and remove it from the Rear Housing.

1. Insert the flat end of the Blackstick under the

removal feature on the Flash Lens.

2. Remove the Flash Lens from the Rear Housing

by prying up with the Blackstick.

Remove the Flash Lens only if necessary.

1. Remove the 3IP Screw holding the Side Key

Retention Bracket in place.

After you remove the 3IP Screw, you cannot reuse it.

2. Use the Tweezers to remove the Side Key

Retention Bracket.

3. Remove the Power and Volume Keys. If they

stick in the housing, use the Tweezers and Blackstick to pry them free.

1. Remove the Kapton® Tape from the Side Key

Flex ZIF Connector.

After you remove the Kapton Tape, you cannot reuse it.

2. Open the Side Key Flex ZIF Connector Door.

3. Disconnect the Side Key Flex from the Side Key

Flex ZIF Connector.

1. Remove the Bridge Flex Stopper using the

Blackstick or the Tweezers.

Handle the Battery Pack with care. If dropped to the floor, it may be internally damaged and must be scrapped.

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.

Use the Blackstick to lift and separate the adhesive between the Bridge Flex, the Battery surface, and the Rear Housing.

Remove the Bridge Flex only if necessary. After you remove the Bridge Flex, you cannot reuse it.

Do not use sharp tools or the pointed end of the Blackstick to separate the Bridge Flex from the Battery. Damage to the Battery may occur.
