How To Install Tauri Screen Protector
Preparation
Begin by thoroughly cleaning the workspace. Ensure adequate lighting and a stable, flat surface.
Unpack the Tauri screen protector kit. Verify all components are present: screen protector, cleaning cloth (microfiber), dust removal sticker(s), alignment tool (if included), and installation instructions.
Power off the device. This prevents accidental screen interactions during the installation process.
Must Read
Cleaning the Device Screen
Use the provided microfiber cloth to wipe the screen. Apply gentle, even pressure.
Inspect the screen for remaining dust particles. Use the dust removal sticker to lift off any lingering debris. Press the adhesive side of the sticker onto the dust, then lift.
Repeat the cleaning and dust removal process as needed. A pristine surface is crucial for optimal adhesion and clarity.
Screen Protector Application
Alignment
If an alignment tool is provided, attach it to the device. Ensure it is securely fastened and properly aligned with the screen edges.
If no alignment tool is available, visually align the screen protector with the device screen. Note the positioning of the speaker grille, camera lens, and other features.
Adhesion
Peel off the protective film from the adhesive side of the screen protector. Handle the screen protector by its edges to avoid fingerprints.
Carefully lower the screen protector onto the device screen, using the alignment tool or visual cues to guide the placement.
Once aligned, gently press down on the center of the screen protector. This initiates the adhesion process.
Bubble Removal
Use a firm, flat object (such as a credit card wrapped in the microfiber cloth) to smooth out any air bubbles trapped beneath the screen protector.
Start from the center of the screen and work outwards towards the edges. Apply consistent pressure.
If air bubbles persist, gently lift the edge of the screen protector closest to the bubble. Use the dust removal sticker to remove any particles that may have caused the bubble, and then reapply that section of the protector.
Continue the smoothing and bubble removal process until the screen protector is fully adhered to the screen.
Post-Installation Inspection
Inspect the screen protector for any remaining air bubbles, dust particles, or alignment issues.
If necessary, repeat the bubble removal process.
Clean the screen protector with the microfiber cloth to remove any fingerprints or smudges.
Addressing Common Issues
Dust Under the Protector
If dust particles are trapped beneath the screen protector, carefully lift the protector from the corner nearest the dust.
Use a dust removal sticker to remove the dust particle from the device screen and the adhesive side of the screen protector.
Reapply the screen protector, starting from the opposite corner, and smooth out any air bubbles.
Misalignment
If the screen protector is misaligned, carefully lift the protector from one corner.
Realign the protector with the device screen, ensuring proper alignment with the speaker grille, camera lens, and edges.
Reapply the screen protector, smoothing out any air bubbles.
Edge Lift
Edge lift can occur if the screen protector is not fully adhered to the curved edges of the device screen.
Apply gentle pressure to the edges of the screen protector for an extended period (e.g., several minutes). Use a soft cloth to avoid scratching the protector.
In some cases, edge lift may be unavoidable due to the design of the screen protector or the device screen.
Specific Tauri Screen Protector Models
Different Tauri screen protector models may have slightly different installation instructions. Refer to the instructions included with your specific model for detailed guidance.
Some models may include additional features, such as blue light filters or anti-glare coatings. These features do not affect the installation process.
Pay close attention to any specific instructions regarding the use of the alignment tool, if one is provided.
Troubleshooting
Problem: Air bubbles persist despite repeated attempts to remove them.
Possible Solution: Use a hair dryer on a low heat setting to gently warm the screen protector. This can help soften the adhesive and allow the air bubbles to escape. Use the microfiber cloth to smooth out the bubbles while the protector is warm. Be cautious not to overheat the protector.
Problem: The screen protector is not adhering properly to the edges of the screen.
Possible Solution: Ensure the screen is perfectly clean and free of any residue. Apply firm, consistent pressure to the edges of the screen protector for several minutes. If the problem persists, the screen protector may not be compatible with the curvature of the device screen. Consider contacting Tauri customer support.
Problem: The touch sensitivity of the screen is reduced after installing the screen protector.
Possible Solution: Check your device settings for a "Touch Sensitivity" or "Glove Mode" option. Enabling this option can improve touch sensitivity when using a screen protector. Also, ensure that the screen protector is properly adhered to the screen and that there are no air bubbles or gaps that could interfere with touch input.
Maintenance
Clean the screen protector regularly with the microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints, smudges, and dust.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the screen protector's coating.
If the screen protector becomes scratched or damaged, replace it with a new one.
