You may also follow along with the steps below. 

 

Open the Kiosk

  1. Insert a pencil or pen into the hole on the right side of your kiosk. The Power button is inset about three inches inside that hole. Press the button and release it, then wait for the Windows Shutdown Process to complete.

    NOTE: Always shut the kiosk down using the Power button. Never unplug it to shut it off!

  2. Remove the two screws from the back of the top bezel of the kiosk.
