Warning
  • It is possible for the device or battery to be damaged by heat.

Caution
  • Follow the heating bag’s instructions for heating. The recommended time for heating the bag is 50 seconds in a 1000 W microwave and 70 seconds in a 700 W microwave. (Correct temperature for use: 131-149 °F / 55-65 ℃.)
  • Be careful not to damage the device through excessive heat. (It is recommended to disassemble the device in an area with a temperature gauge.)

Caution
  • As the back cover can be damaged by excessive force, be careful not to damage the back cover.
  • Be careful that the suction cup does not adhere to the area where the tape or sticker is attached.
Note
If you have trouble creating a gap, heat the microwaveable heating bag additionally, and apply it on the back cover to further soften the adhesive. When reheating, it should be heated no longer than 30 seconds.

While pulling up the suction cup with strong, steady force to create the gap between the back cover and the screen module, place the opening pick in the gap between the back cover and the screen module and slide the opening pick back and forth along the edge to slice through the adhesive. Repeat this on all sides of the back cover and slice through the adhesive. Lift up the back cover slowly and remove it gently from the device.
