Warning
  • It is possible for the device or battery to be damaged by heat.
  • Do not heat the device in a microwave. Doing so could cause an explosion.
  • If your device’s glass breaks, debris can cause injury to your hands or other body parts. For your safety, attach an acrylic protective cover before disassembling the device.
Caution
  • Follow the heating bag’s instructions. The recommended time is 50 seconds in a 1000 W microwave and 70 seconds in a 700 W microwave. (Recommended temperature: 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 again for no more than 30 seconds, and apply it on the back cover to further soften the adhesive. When reheating the bag, it should not be heated for longer than 30 seconds.

While pulling up the suction cup with strong, steady force to create the gap between the back cover and the metal frame, place the opening pick in the gap between the back cover and the metal frame, and slide the opening pick back and forth along the edge to slice through the adhesive. Repeat this on all sides and slice through the adhesive.

  • As the internal circuitry can be damaged, do not insert the opening pick more than 3 mm.
  • Be careful not to put your fingertips or any foreign objects on the rear cameras or back cover lens.
Note
  • Make sure to leave the opening pick inserted in the edges to prevent the adhesive from resealing.
  • If you have trouble creating a gap, heat the microwaveable heating bag again for no more than 30 seconds, and apply it on the back cover to further soften the adhesive. When reheating, it should never be heated for longer than 30 seconds.
