    • Insert the black spudger into the crease in the side of the GPS.

    • Move the end of the spudger down to break the seal between the two plastic shells.

    • Continue doing this along each side of the GPS to ensure a smooth removal.

    Before seperating the cover panels secure the on/off slider to the front panel with tape. If it falls out the micro swith is easy to damage. The small white tab breaks with ease.
