Setup and Installation

- Clean the Screen: Use the provided alcohol wipe to thoroughly clean your iPhone 14 Pro Max screen. Ensure all smudges, dirt, and oils are removed.
- Dry the Screen: Use the microfiber cloth to dry the screen completely. Ensure no lint or dust particles remain.
- Remove Dust: Use the dust removal sticker to dab the screen and pick up any remaining dust particles. Inspect the screen carefully under light to ensure it is spotless.
- Peel Off Protective Film: Carefully peel off the protective film from the adhesive side of the tempered glass. Avoid touching the adhesive surface.
- Align the Protector: Align the tempered glass with your iPhone's screen, paying close attention to the speaker cutout, camera, and edges. Start from one end and slowly lower it onto the screen.
- Apply and Press: Once aligned, gently press the center of the screen protector. The adhesive will begin to spread automatically.
- Remove Bubbles: If any bubbles appear, gently push them towards the edges of the screen using the microfiber cloth or a soft card. Small bubbles usually disappear within 24-48 hours.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and clarity of your tempered glass screen protector, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to gently wipe the screen. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen cleaner specifically designed for electronics.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, alcohol (other than the initial cleaning wipe), or solvents, as these can damage the oleophobic coating.
- Protection: While the tempered glass is highly durable, avoid placing your phone face down on rough surfaces or exposing it to sharp objects unnecessarily.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
- Bubbles After Installation:
Cause: Dust particles or uneven application.
Solution: Small bubbles often disappear within 24-48 hours. For larger bubbles, gently lift the nearest edge of the protector and re-apply, pushing the bubble out with a microfiber cloth. Ensure the screen is completely dust-free before re-application.
- Edges Not Sticking:
Cause: Dust under the edges, misalignment, or case interference.
Solution: Ensure the screen is clean and the protector is perfectly aligned. If a phone case is causing lifting, consider a different case or a slightly smaller screen protector.
- Reduced Touch Sensitivity:
Cause: Improper installation or a faulty protector.
Solution: Re-install the protector ensuring no air gaps. If the issue persists, the protector may be faulty and require replacement.
