directions

1. After washing your hands, clean your device and remove the battery.
2. Wet your fingers before touching your guard and keep them wet throughout the installation. This will prevent fingerprints on the guard.
3. Remove a piece of the guard from the paper backing. We recommend starting with the screen since it’s usually the easiest to install.
4. Add a few drops of water to the guard before placing it on your device.
5. This will keep the guard from sticking too soon and allow you time to position it correctly.
6. Carefully align the guard with the contours of your device as you slide it into place.
7. Remove excess water and bubbles with a squeegee. Always press from the center outward and avoid getting moisture into any openings such as the speaker or microphone. Your device should be dry and ready to use after 3-4 hours.

tips & troubleshooting

• If the guard isn’t slippery enough consider adding a few more drops of water or a small drop of dish soap.
• The guard can take up to 24 hours to dry (48 hours if you use soap). You can accelerate the drying process by using a blow dryer but keep it on low and hold it at a safe distance.
• If you have trouble with corners and edges staying down, set your device aside for 5-10 minutes then push the edges down again when the material is more tacky.
• If you’re not able to remove all the moisture from under the guard wait a few days and it should dissipate.

directions

1. Peel removable installation tabs from their backing and apply one to the top of the guard and one to the bottom. Only half of the tab should be stuck to the guard and the rest will be used as a handle.
2. Ensuring that the tabs are stuck to the guard, remove the guard from it’s backing. Make sure not to touch the adhesive side of the guard – only touch the installation tabs.
3. Holding on to the tabs, align the guard with your device paying close attention to camera and speaker holes.
4. Press one side of the guard down, keeping hold of the other end. Use the squeegee to slowly press the rest of the guard down.
5. As long as the tabs are still attached to the guard, it can be removed and repositioned until you get a perfect fit.
6. Once the guard is properly installed, the tabs can be carefully removed from the guard by holding down the surrounding area and gently peeling them back.

tips & troubleshooting

• After the guard is properly applied to the device, run the squeegee firmly across the film to smooth out any remaining bubbles.
• The device is ready for use immediately (any remaining micro-bubbles will disappear in the next 24-48 hours).
• Using the squeegee in a slow and deliberate manner tends to work best, leaving fewer micro-bubbles and achieving the best final results.
