    • While pressing down on the arrow, slide the cover towards the bottom of the recorder until it clicks.

    • Remove the battery cover by first tilting it so it is at a right angle with the rest of the device.

    • Next, twist it to the side as shown in the second picture. The lid should simply snap off.

    • Potential for device damage: be careful not to apply too much force, as the lid may break.

    • Use a #00 Phillips head screwdriver to remove the four (1.7x16 mm) screws from the back case.

    • Next, use the same screwdriver to unscrew the (1.7X5 mm) screw, which is located inside the battery compartment.

    • Use a spudger to push in the two tabs located on the bottom of the device.

    • It works best to push the tabs at an upward angle (towards the top of the battery compartment). It may take a decent amount of force in order to push in the tabs.

    I didn’t push on the tabs, but put a spudger along the seem and the clips released with minimal force!

    • With a firm grip on the larger half, remove the back cover by lifting first on the battery area.

    • The back cover should lift cleanly off.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
