2. Step 2: Flex and Insert Top Tabs. Slightly flex the filter and insert the small tabs at the top into the grooves at the top of the screen's bezel.

4. Step 4: Removal. To remove the filter, hold the top tabs and gently pull the filter forward.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Privacy Function

The LOE Privacy Filter utilizes polarizing technology to restrict the viewing angle. When viewed directly from the front (within 60-120 degrees), the screen remains clear. However, from side angles (0-60 degrees or 120-180 degrees), the screen appears completely dark, preventing unauthorized viewing.

4.2 Blue Light Reduction

This filter is designed to reduce blue light emissions from your laptop screen by approximately 50% in the 380-540nm wavelength range. Reducing blue light can help alleviate eye strain and minimize potential impacts on your circadian rhythm, especially during prolonged use.

5. Reversible Feature and Maintenance

The LOE Privacy Filter is reversible, offering two distinct viewing experiences:

• Matte (Anti-Glare) Side: This side has a low-reflection, matte finish, making it ideal for environments with strong overhead lighting, such as offices with many fluorescent lights. It minimizes glare and reflections for comfortable viewing.
• Glossy Side: This side has a higher reflection rate, which enhances the privacy effect from side angles. It provides a clearer, more vibrant image when viewed directly, but offers stronger privacy from the sides.

You can easily switch between the two sides to suit your current usage environment and preference.

5.2 Material Quality

The LOE Privacy Filter is manufactured using 100% Japanese PET material, ensuring high quality and durability.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Filter Does Not Fit Securely

• Ensure you have the correct model and size filter for your laptop. This filter is for Panasonic Let's note CF-FV series, 14-inch, 3:2 aspect ratio, non-touch panel models.
• Verify that the tabs are correctly aligned with the grooves in the screen bezel.
• Apply gentle pressure to ensure all tabs are fully seated.

7.2 Screen Appears Too Dark

• Privacy filters inherently reduce screen brightness. Adjust your laptop's screen brightness settings to a higher level.
• Ensure you are viewing the screen directly from the front. The privacy feature darkens the screen from side angles.
• If using the glossy side, try reversing the filter to the matte (anti-glare) side, which may offer a slightly brighter appearance in some lighting conditions.

7.3 Reflections or Glare

• If experiencing excessive reflections, ensure the matte (anti-glare) side of the filter is facing outwards.
• Adjust your viewing position or the angle of your laptop to minimize direct light sources hitting the screen.
