Take off the cover...

pilotbob · 01-29-2007, 03:24 PM

Ok,

How do you take the cover off the reader? I don't want to break anything. I have tried twisting or pulling a certain direction.

I saw directions on this forum somewhere about how to put it on, but not to take it off. I don't see this documented anywhere with the reader docs.

The cover snaps onto the back of the reader. If you look at the back of the cover, you should see a slightly raised circle about the size of a silver dollar. It is a snap on/snap off plastic circle, bigger but similar to the snap on methodology that DVD plastic holders use to keep the DVD in place. So don't twist, just pull the two directly apart from each other. If you pull the edge of the cover out slightly, you should be able to see the retaining plastic.

It does take a little force to get it off and on, just lay the Reader face down on the table is how I usually do it.

To put it back, slip the reader back in the jacket, keep it closed, put the reader face down on a flat surface and press on the center clip.

... and try not to wince at the loud "CRACK" noises that result as it snaps on

The most important thing is to not put any pressure on the eink display. Be careful where you put your fingers and when applying pressure make sure its to the metal case not directly to the display itself.
