Just run your finger from the mic/remote cable jacks to the rs-232 port and 
you will pass right over the cover.   It appears as though it is part of the 
front panel.  It is perhaps 3 inches across and an inch high.

Assuming you are right handed, put your thumb just to the right of the 
remote cable plug.  Put your index or middle finger just to the left of the 
rs-232 jack and  kind of squeeze them together until your thumb and finger 
are pressing on what feels like just part of the front panel.  The little 
cover should come off in your hand, although the first time I had to try a 
few times until it came off.  You may find it easier to press  only on one 
side at first  until you hear that side unsnap.
