Lay down the case so that the power button is on the far right corner and is facing your right.
Unlock the side panel on the bottom edge by pushing its ridgeline towards the top edge. Lift the panel off of the case.
Peel back the cover slowly, as it will still be attached to the case by the cover lights cable. Place the panel against a clean, steady surface in preparation for the next step.
