How to open Panasonic phone handset?

Answer 1

It depends, of course, what model handset you have. Many of the cordless ones are similar. Mine is a kx-tga560.

Remove battery cover.

Using small Philips screwdriver, remove two screws along base.

Using a small flathead screwdriver, you must then pry upwards along the edge where the two case halves join together. Use one hand to pry gently while pulling the two case halves apart with the other hand. There will be a couple of distinct pops when the clips let go.

When I say "pry", it may help to twist the head of the screwdriver rather than merely working it back and forth.

If you are trying to access the keypad, you will have to proceed next by removing the other screws you now see exposed along the edges of circuit board (mine has three). There are also two plastic retaining clips on either side of the circuit board holding it in place. Once you unsnap these, be prepared for a few things to fall out. They go back easily, but you'll want to keep track of how they go.
