b. Slowly pry the bottom of the chassis from the cover by pushing the small flat-blade
screwdriver down, or chassis opener (6680702Z01) and rotating the handle of the tool
over and behind the base of the radio. This prying action forces the thin inner plastic wall
toward the base of the radio, releasing the two chassis base tabs
.
6. Lay the chassis down. Rotate the front cover backward and slightly away from the chassis.
7. Lift the latches on the main circuit board to release the flexes from their connectors.

CAUTION: Marring the front cover O-ring sealing area will prevent the radio from
sealing properly.
NOTE
Flexible ribbon circuits (flexes) connecting the front cover assembly and the chassis
prevent you from completely separating the two units. Display radios and radios with
option boards have two flexes.
