actuator using your
finger.
Do not use a
fingernail
or screwdriver to open the actuator. This could damage
the ribbon cable. Do not close the actuator from the ends of the actuator.

1 Place two
fingers
towards each end of the locking actuator, and then gently lift the actuator to the unlocked
position.
