Tips & Warnings
  • You will need a TORX T5 screw driver to get the screws out. If it doesn't come with the replacement battery, you can order it online (see Resources below).
  • Be gentle. If you break off pieces, you may need to replace the entire device, and you may also void any outstanding warranty.
