3. To remove the keypad retainer shield:

a. Insert the tip of a “penknife size,” flat blade screwdriver in the opening at the end of the

keypad retainer arm tab.

b. Pry the tab away from the side of the front cover until it moves past the ledges on the side

wall. Repeat this procedure for the four remaining retainer arm tabs.

4. Note that the two “top hooks” are still held underneath the front cover—right below the speaker.

Lift the keypad retainer out of the front cover, then lift and pivot the two hooks out of the front

cover.

5. If disassembly involves the removal of the display module, disconnect the display flex from the

keypad option board connector by lifting the latch on the connector. (This is similar to the process

for releasing the flexes.) (see page 3-5.)

6. The display module is attached to the front cover with a double-sided adhesive pad. Carefully pull

up on the display module, using a small screwdriver, if necessary, and remove it from the front

cover. Use a new piece of double-sided adhesive to re-mount the display to the cover.

7. The keypad/PassPort/option board can be removed without the use of tools.

CAUTION Take care not to damage the display. Do not cut, bend, or pinch the heat

seal. Display modules contain CMOS devices. Be sure to use ESD protection.
