6.3.6. Bottom surface.

Carefully turn over PLEXTALK and place it face down on the flat surface,

keeping the front of PLEXTALK towards you.

Near to the front of the bottom surface should be a printed sticker with
important information about your PLEXTALK including the serial number

and date of manufacture.

Locate the 4 rubber feet on the bottom surface. These 4 rubber feet are

located near to the corners. Battery cover is located the right hand side
from the rear of PLEXTALK. On the edge of the cover, nearest to the fourth

rubber foot, you should find 2 plastic catches for releasing the cover.
