      • Use the metal spudger all around the panel to pop it up from the base.

      • When working with electronics, it's important to choose a tool that's ESD-safe to avoid accidental damage to the device. The regular black nylon spudger or a plastic opening tool should be used whenever possible.

      • Using your finger is acceptable but not entirely recommended. Be gentle if you choose to use your hands.
