    • Gently remove the function panel from the device.

    • Be careful - it's still connected by the button cable. Peel the cable from the device carefully with a spudger - it is attached with a little bit of adhesive.

    • Carefully remove the connector and set the panel aside.

    • Remove the two small Phillips #00 screws at the other end of the device.

    • A small metal part will fall out of the device from the other side. Keep hold of this - you won't be able to put these screws back in without it.

    • Using a spudger, gently separate the back casing from the rest of the device.

    • You should now be left with the front panel and the battery.

    • Gently disconnect the battery connector from the front panel. It's small and the pins are delicate, so be careful not to bend it.

    • When you install the new battery, you may find it useful to secure it to the back casing with some double-sided tape or even a small amount of glue.

    • When reassembling your device, remember to place the small metal part on the front of the device and hold it while you insert the two small screws.

    • The screws won't stay in unless they're screwed into this metal part.

The only thing I would add is before replacing the battery, be sure to backup your device since disconnecting the battery will do a total reset.
