First, clean the touchscreen of fingerprints, lint particles, dust and smudges.
Remove the protective film from its container. Remove any protective backing from the film sheet by lifting the backing from a
corner of the film. Discard the backing.
Apply the film to the touchscreen starting at one side and smoothing it across the display. If air bubbles appear, raise the film
slightly and continue smoothing the film across the display until it covers the glass surface of the display. If dust, lint or
smudges are trapped between the protective film and the glass display, remove the protective film, clean the display and apply
the protective film again.
Contact your LXE representative about protective film packs designed specifically for your MX7 Tecton touchscreen.
