Separating front from frame:
1A-1B hooks:
Put the phone on a flat, clean surface. First
release hooks 1A and 1B close to the system
connector. Use a screwdriver, width 3 mm.
NOTE!
ESD gloves must not be used when separating
snap fit hooks.
Be careful when using the screwdriver, hooks
are tight fitted and you may easily slip and injure
your fingers. Also be careful not to scratch the
frame and damage front hooks with the
screwdriver.
Put Place the screwdriver in the slot (1B). Press
directly down
hard
to release the snap fit hook.
Do the same on the opposite side. The phone
should be placed on a flat, clean surface during
the releasing of 1A -1B hooks.
NOTE!
Do not use any tool or your nail to separate front
from frame, front will easily get scratched. The
only way to separate front from frame is to
release hooks according to the instruction.
The screwdriver should be in 90 degrees angle
when releasing the bottom front snap fit hooks.
NOTE!
When removing the front cover the first time, it
is hard to predict the amount of force needed.
Usually it requires more force then you think.
Pushing of 1A & 1B is the hardest part!
When the two bottom hooks are released a small
gap is seen between front and frame.
