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.

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.
