You will need to take apart the unit, but it is very simply.

  1. Remove the 6 T10 screws from the black handle
  2. Remove the 8 T8 screws from the black handle
  3. Remove the 10 T8 screws from the back of the radio and you should be able to open.

Be careful not to pull the wire's loose. You should be able to solder the wires without disconnecting any of the wires.
