Transceiver Disassembly

2.4.1
1 Remove the antenna.
2 Insert a small flat-blade screwdriver or similar tool between the plastic front cover and
metal chassis as shown below. Carefully lift the chassis out of the cover with the
screwdriver blade. Raise it to approximately the point shown in the next illustration.
3 Slide the chassis out of the top part of the front cover.
Note
Before reassembling the front cover and chassis, make sure the UDC (accessory)
connector flex circuit is flat against the side of the front cover. If it is not, the RF board
shield clip may catch and damage it.
4 When reassembling, make sure the perimeter gasket is in place, and then use the
screwdriver blade again as a guide to prevent damage to the bottom part of the gasket
as the chassis slides back in place. Firmly press the chassis and the cover together until
they snap in place.
