Unlock the four rubber feet by turning them 90° counterclockwise using your thumb or finger tip.
There is a tiny mark on every foot facing the bottom edge of the OP-Z. After turning them they should face towards the short edge where the on/off switch is.

When turning the OP-Z over again the bottom plate should come off by itself (thanks gravity).
If the bottom plate won’t come off you might want to make sure every foot is rotated correctly and gently tug on one of them.
