    • Press on the tabs at the bottom of the battery covers then lift up to remove.

    • Remove batteries if they are present.

  3. ZwWPJlkOVdRUkrHt

    • Remove the following screws:

    • Six Phillips screws

    • One 4.5 mm Gamebit screw

    It says remove 7 Philips screws, the picture shows 6 but one is incorrect.

    The thread below the label has no screw, but there is another one in the other battery compartment.

    The hole below the label is for a security bolt when stores put them on display.

    The screw hole in the bottom center is for the PowerBack. Also there are not 7 screws there are only 6
