-[* black] Pull the innermost tab evenly straight up.
-[* icon_caution] Do not twist the tab; try to keep the adhesive strip as flat and wide as possible. When the adhesive bunches up it tends to tear.
-[* icon_caution] Be sure you do not pull the tab against any of the components of the phone; they may puncture the adhesive and cause the strip to tear.
-[* black] Pull the battery tab at about a 45º angle until the strip is entirely freed from the phone.
+[* icon_caution] Try to keep the strips flat and unwrinkled during this procedure; wrinkled strips will stick together and break instead of pulling out cleanly.
+[* black] Slowly pull one of the battery adhesive strips away from the battery, toward the bottom of the iPhone.
+[* black] Pull steadily, maintaining constant tension on the strip as it slips out from between the battery and the rear case. For best results, pull the strip at a 60º angle or less.
+[* black] Guide the strip carefully around the corner and up the side of the battery. Be careful not to snag it on any of the other internal iPhone components.
+[* icon_note] The strip will stretch to many times its original length. Continue pulling, re-grabbing the strip near the battery if necessary, until the entire strip comes free.
