5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully for a successful, bubble-free installation:
- Prepare Your Workspace: Choose a clean, dust-free environment. Good lighting is recommended to spot any dust particles.
- Clean the Camera Screen: Use the provided wet cleaning wipe (labeled '1') to thoroughly clean your camera's LCD screen. Ensure all grime, oils, and smudges are removed.
- Dry the Screen: Immediately use the dry cleaning wipe (labeled '2') to dry the screen completely. Ensure no moisture or lint remains. For best results, use a bright light to check for any remaining dust.
- Remove Original Protective Layer (if applicable): If your camera has a thin, original protective film, peel it off carefully before proceeding.
- Dust Removal: Use a dust-absorber sticker (if included) to pick up any remaining dust particles from the screen surface. Gently dab the sticker across the screen.
- Align the Protector: Carefully peel off the protective film from the adhesive side of the tempered glass screen protector. Hold the protector by its edges to avoid touching the adhesive. Align the protector precisely with your camera's screen, paying close attention to the bottom and right edges for optimal fit.
- Apply the Protector: Once aligned, gently lay the screen protector down onto the camera screen. The adhesive will automatically begin to spread.
- Remove Bubbles: If any small bubbles appear, gently press them towards the edges of the screen with a clean, soft cloth or your finger. Most small bubbles will disappear within a few days.

6. Operating (Usage)
Once installed, the QIBOX Tempered Glass Screen Protector operates seamlessly with your camera. It maintains the original clarity and touch responsiveness of your LCD screen, allowing for normal camera operation, menu navigation, and image review without interference.
7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and clarity of your screen protector:
- Wipe the screen protector regularly with a clean, soft microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and smudges.
- For stubborn marks, lightly dampen a microfiber cloth with water or a screen-safe cleaning solution.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the oleophobic coating.
- While the protector is waterproof, avoid prolonged exposure to water or submerging your camera.
8. Troubleshooting
- Bubbles After Installation: Small bubbles are common immediately after installation. Most will dissipate naturally within 24-48 hours. For larger bubbles, gently lift the nearest edge of the protector slightly and re-apply, pushing the bubble out with a soft cloth. Ensure no dust is trapped underneath.
- Dust Under the Protector: If dust particles are trapped, carefully lift the protector from the nearest corner using a piece of tape. Use another piece of tape to gently dab and remove the dust from both the screen and the adhesive side of the protector. Re-apply slowly.
- Protector Not Sticking Properly: Ensure the screen was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. If the edges are not adhering, gently press them down. If the issue persists, the protector may have been damaged during a previous attempt to remove or reposition it. Use one of the spare protectors provided.
- Reduced Touch Sensitivity: Verify that the screen protector is correctly installed and there are no air gaps. If the issue persists, ensure your camera's touch settings are configured correctly.
