Installation Instructions
For optimal results, please follow these steps carefully. The installation process uses a wet application method to ensure a bubble-free finish.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Wash Your Hands: Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water to remove any oils or debris.
- Turn Off Your Device: Power off your GOLFBUDDY smartwatch to prevent accidental inputs and ensure a smooth application.
- Prepare Cleaning Solution: Mix a small amount of dishwashing detergent with water in a clean bowl. This solution will aid in positioning the protector and removing bubbles.
- Wipe Off Device: Use the provided soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently clean the smartwatch screen, removing any dust or smudges.
- Wet Your Fingertips: Dip your fingertips into the prepared cleaning solution. This prevents fingerprints from transferring to the adhesive side of the protector.
- Peel the IPG from Backing: Carefully peel the screen protector from its backing film.
- Wet the Adhesive Side: Generously wet the adhesive side of the IPG screen protector with your wet fingertips or by dipping it into the solution.
- Align the IPG to the Device: Carefully position the wet screen protector onto your smartwatch screen. The wet solution allows for minor adjustments to achieve perfect alignment.
- Squeegee Out Bubbles and Water: Use the IPG installation card (squeegee) to gently push out any water and air bubbles from the center towards the edges. Ensure to work away from any open ports.
- Secure Corners: Use your palm to hold down the corners and edges of the screen protector for 1-2 minutes. This helps the adhesive bond securely. If the screen appears foggy, do not panic; this is normal. Allow it to dry for 12 hours for the best results.

Maintenance
To maintain the clarity and effectiveness of your IPG Screen Protector:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild screen cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Avoid Sharp Objects: While the protector is scratch-resistant, extreme pressure or sharp objects can still cause damage.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bubbles or Foggy Appearance after Installation | Excess water or air trapped underneath the protector. This is common immediately after wet application. | Allow 12-24 hours for the protector to fully dry and adhere. Most small bubbles and fogginess will disappear as the water evaporates. For larger bubbles, gently re-squeegee towards the nearest edge. |
| Edges Not Sticking | Insufficient drying time or improper corner adhesion during installation. | Gently press down on the edges with your palm or finger for 1-2 minutes to encourage adhesion. Ensure the device is kept in a dry environment during the drying period. |
| Dust or Debris Underneath | Screen not thoroughly cleaned before application. | If dust is visible immediately after application, you may carefully lift a corner, use a piece of tape to dab the dust off the adhesive, re-wet, and reapply. If the protector has fully dried, it is generally not recommended to attempt removal as it may damage the protector. |
