[* black] Pull up on the exposed clear plastic tab to peel the battery off the adhesive securing it to the iPhone.
-[* icon_caution] Depending on the strength of the adhesive holding the battery down, the adhesive's strength may exceed the strength of the plastic pull-tab. If so, you'll need to work the plastic spudger around the battery to release the adhesive. Too much pressure exerted at any one point could short the battery internally rendering it useless (and dangerous).
+[* icon_caution] If the tab breaks before the battery is freed, carefully slide a spudger under the battery to release the adhesive without puncturing the battery cell.
[* black] Remove the battery.
-[* icon_note] Do not remove the plastic tab from the iPhone.
+[* black] Perform a [guide|44534|hard reset] after reassembly. This can prevent several issues and simplify troubleshooting.
