    • Flip the camera to the other side and remove the screws from the other round metal plate with a Phillips #000 screwdriver.

    • When replacing this plate, make sure the cutout in the plate surrounds the wiring in the handle. You may break the wiring if the plates are not seated well or if placed incorrectly.

    • Pull the handle slowly away from the camera and shift the handle to allow access to the wire connections.

    • Desolder these wires carefully and you can now remove the handle.
