3. Push down on the safety latch so that it disengages and then pull the Mailslot out making sure that you tilt it slightly back so that if there are any tapes in the Mailslot they won't fall onto the floor.

Note: If there are any tapes in the Mailslot please take them out and set them aside so that they can be entered into the library later.

4. Discard the Mailslot.

To Replace the Mailslot/CAP:

1 .Remove the replacement Mailslot from its packaging.

2. Slide the mailslot in slowly past the safety latch and then all of the way in until the mailslot locks into place.
