Clear View Skins Application Instructions.
Please read all of the instructions before you begin the installation.
Do Not Apply Water Directly To Your Device!
A water and soap solution
is used to wet the skin only, so that it can be positioned on the device.
Turn your device off and remove any
removable batteries. Wash your hands. Clean your device and remove any
fingerprints.
1. Identify
the protective skin pieces while they are still on the backing and determine
where they are to be applied to your device.
2. In a
shallow dish, mix a few drops of a mild liquid soap with about 10 oz. water to
make the application solution. Let the solution sit for about 10-15 minutes
before using it to allow the suds and any tiny air bubbles to dissipate.
3. Wet your
fingers with the application solution and remove the section of skin that you are applying to the
device from the backing. Submerge the skin in the solution to wet the
adhesive side thoroughly. Don’t lose track of which side of the skin was stuck
to the liner. This is the side that will adhere to the device.
Tip: Keeping
your finger tips wet will prevent your fingers from sticking to the adhesive
and leaving finger prints on the under side of the skin.
4. Lightly
shake the excess water from the skin. The skin doesn’t need to be dripping wet;
a thin layer of the solution works the best.
5. Place the
skin on the device and move it into position. The skin should slide freely on
the surface of your device at this point. If it doesn’t try adding a little
more soap to your water and re-wetting the skin.
6. Start
pressing the application
solution out from
under the skin with your fingers being careful not to move the skin. Use a
credit card (or something similar) to squeegee the rest of the solution and
bubbles out from under the skin.
If
you are unhappy with the placement of the skin or if you see bubbles, you are
unable to remove, this is the time to remove the skin and return to step 1.
After the skin has time to set up you will not be able to remove it without
damaging it.
Tip: If you remove
the skin after making contact with the device, dry the surface of the device
off and go back to step 3. This will help prevent trapping the tiny air bubbles
that form in the application solution when
the wet skin is lifted off of the device.
7. If you
are applying a skin with flaps or areas that won’t stick down, give the skin
about 15-30 minutes for the application solution to evaporate. Then wrap the
area over and press it down with the palm of your hand for about 30
seconds.
We recommend
waiting 12-24 hours before you turn your device back on after installing the
Clear View Skin. This wait time allows the skin to "set up" properly.
Also, since the application solution wets on the skin during the installation process,
this wait time allows the skin and electronic device enough time to dry
properly.
These general instructions apply to all of the skins. If you have
