Replacing Button Labels
The button caps are pre-labeled for your convenience. However,
you can change them with the included button labels.
The button assembly consists of a clear lens cap, the button label,
and a white diffuser (see
figure 73
). Remove the button assembly
from the SMX as follows:
1.
Make new labels using either the blanks on
page 130
or the
Button Label Generator software. Cut the labels out.
2.
Remove the button assembly by inserting a small, flat head
screwdriver, between the button base and the diffuser to
gently pry the button assembly off the button plunger, as
shown in the drawing at right.
3.
Locate the small corner notch on the lens cap, and slide the
screwdriver between the lens cap and the diffuser (see
1
in
figure 73
).
4.
Rotate the screwdriver and carefully pry the two pieces apart (see 2 in the
figure 73
).
