Remove the following parts before you continue: • (Rechargeable-) Battery-Pack • Stylus • Memory- and Dummy-Cards • Display-Lid Put your Newton™ face down on a soft surface to avoid scratches on the dis- play. Step 2 Remove all screws marked with circles. - Page 3 Note the different types of screws. Note the different lenght and thread of the screws (they will damage the Newton™ if screwed into the wrong hole). Open the battery-box by carefully using a knife. Start at the side with the opening for the battery.

- Page 5 Step 10 The display is kept in place by the handle (shown in Step 9) that is marked yellow, only. Don't press the handle with too much power. It breakes very fast. Push the handle leftwards (relative to the image shown here) and lift up the display by pushing it up with a finger (use the square opening).
