  4. Separate the resonator portion from the base of device to reveal the middle separator of the enclosure. The enclosure will now be in two pieces.
  5. Hold the resonator portion of the enclosure gently aside to make sure there is no tension on the black and red wires coming from the bottom portion of the device.
  6. Excessive force may disconnect the black and red speaker wires from the circuitry in the bottom portion of the device.
