Abstract
A portable electronic device includes a housing, a battery cover defining a latching hole, a latching element with an elastic section, and an operating lever. The housing defines a cutout. The battery cover includes a hook projecting therefrom and a latching hole defined therein. The hook is received in the cutout. The latching element includes a prong and an elastic section. The elastic section is secured to the housing. The operating lever forces the prong of the latching element to separate from the latching hole and compresses the elastic section.
