Place the CLIO unit on a flat level work surface in standard orientation.
2.
Remove the Battery Pack using the procedure described above.
3.
Remove the ROM/RAM Cover using the procedure described above.

Insert a piece of soft cloth between the CLIO Keyboard Base Top (47) and the Display
Bezel Unit (2) to avoid scratching or marring the LCD Unit (66).
5.
Remove the PCMCIA Dummy Card (36) from the right side of the unit by grasping the
protruding handle and sliding the Dummy Card (36) straight out. Store in a secure
location.
6.
Gently peel off the two rubber feet (31) located at the corners of the CLIO Keyboard Base
Bottom (45) (the two corners farthest from you). Store the feet (31) in a secure location
for later reuse.
7.
Using either a flat headed jewelry screwdriver or the tip of an X-Acto blade, gently
remove the four rubber plugs located on the CLIO lower hinge arms (19, 20, 21, 22) by
inserting the implement between the caps and the hinge and carefully prying the caps
loose. Store in a secure location. Removing these caps will reveal four screws.
8.
Remove the four screws located in the previous step (17, 24) using a #2 Phillips head
screwdriver and store in a secure location. Remove the washers (18, 23) from both
hinge arms (25,26) and store in a secure location.

Note that there are slotted plastic bushings (4, 33) around the opening in the top and
bottom Keyboard Base halves (45, 47)(where the flex circuits emerge). Using either a
pair of tweezers or a pair of miniature needle-nose pliers, gently spread the bushing open
and slide it off the Keyboard Base halves. Carefully thread the flex circuit (8) and wires
through the slot in the bushing and store the bushing in a secure location.
15.
Note the locations of the two rubber bumpers (32), one on each side of the CLIO, the IR
Lens (28) (on the left), and the clear Indicator Lens (29) on the front of the CLIO (located
in the center of the edge facing away from you).
