3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully for optimal installation:
- Clean the Device Screen: Use the provided microfiber cleaning cloth to thoroughly clean the screen of your Samsung SHP-DS705. Ensure there are no dust particles, smudges, or fingerprints. A clean screen is crucial for a bubble-free application.
- Align the Screen Protector: Carefully peel back a small portion of the protective film from one end of the ClearTouch Crystal screen protector. Align the exposed edge with the corresponding edge of your device's screen.
- Apply Gradually: Slowly peel off the rest of the protective film while simultaneously applying the screen protector to the device's screen. Use the ClearTouch Applicator Card to gently smooth out any air bubbles as you go, pushing them towards the edges.
- Remove Remaining Bubbles: Once the screen protector is fully applied, use the applicator card to firmly push any remaining air bubbles towards the nearest edge until they are gone.
- Final Adhesion: The special low-tack adhesive may take approximately 2 days of regular use to fully adhere around the edges and for any minor air gaps to clear out completely. This is normal and expected.

5. Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and clarity of your screen protector:
- Cleaning: Use the provided microfiber cloth or a similar soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the screen protector. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Avoid Sharp Objects: While the protector offers scratch resistance, extreme pressure or sharp objects can still damage it.
- Reusability: The ClearTouch Crystal screen protector features a glueless adhesive, allowing for removal and reinstallation if needed, without leaving sticky residue.
6. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Air bubbles after installation | Small air gaps around the edges are normal immediately after installation due to the low-tack adhesive. These should clear out within approximately 2 days of regular use as the adhesive fully bonds. For larger bubbles, gently push them towards the nearest edge with the applicator card. |
| Dust particles trapped under protector | This indicates the screen was not completely clean before application. Carefully lift the nearest edge of the protector, use a dust-removing sticker (if available) or tape to lift the dust, then reapply. Ensure the screen is thoroughly cleaned before reapplication. |
| Protector not adhering properly | Ensure the screen is clean and free of oils or residues. Apply firm, even pressure with the applicator card during installation. Allow up to 2 days for full adhesion. |
