Starting beneath the "SPOT" button, use the round side of the metal spudger and firmly pry underneath the grey top panel of the camera. Work your way counterclockwise around the camera prying at different spots until the top panel starts to come loose. Pry all the way around until you reach the "STsi" logo.
This prying will not completely release the top cover. It is also necessary to take off the side panel, as explained in the next step.
