Slide out the function panel.

Insert a paper clip into the two marked small holes on the back and push downwards while pulling the function panel gently.

Gently remove the function panel from the device.

Carefully remove the connector and set the panel aside.
-
-
-
Remove the two small Phillips #00 screws at the other end of the device.
-
A small metal part will fall out of the device from the other side. Keep hold of this - you won't be able to put these screws back in without it.

Using a spudger, gently separate the back casing from the rest of the device.
-

Lay the two halves side by side.

The battery is usually held to the case by a small amount of adhesive. Carefully peel it up with a spudger.
-
Lay the back case aside.

Gently disconnect the battery connector from the front panel. It's small and the pins are delicate, so be careful not to bend it.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

The only thing I would add is before replacing the battery, be sure to backup your device since disconnecting the battery will do a total reset.
