On the top of the cartridge there is bunch of clips in a circular
pattern.
If you squeeze all these in at once, either carefully with your fingers
or with some tube that is just the right size to squeeze them all in at
once, you can then slide the clear cover off the top.
The tape is a bit fiddly to wind back up and get back under the cover
once you have it opened.
