4. To manually release a magazine, push the end of a small metal pin or straightened paper clip
until you feel some resistance, about 1.5 cm (0.6 inch), into the magazine access hole to depress
the magazine release tab. While holding in the release tab, have a second person attempt to
pull the magazine out of the front of the unit. For the MSL4048 and MSL8096, all magazines
on a side are released and may be removed at the same time. See Figure 39.
