2. Installation Guide
Follow these steps carefully to ensure a successful and bubble-free installation of your screen protector. Perform the installation in a clean, dust-free environment.
- Prepare Your Workspace: Ensure your monitor is turned off and placed on a stable, flat surface. Wash your hands thoroughly to avoid transferring oils or dirt to the screen or protector.
- Clean the Screen: Use the included microfiber cloth to meticulously clean the monitor screen. Remove all dust, smudges, and fingerprints. For stubborn marks, a screen cleaning solution (not included) can be used, followed by drying with the microfiber cloth.
- Remove Dust: Use any included dust removal stickers (if provided) to lift off any remaining dust particles from the screen surface. Inspect the screen carefully under good lighting to ensure it is completely free of dust.
- Align the Protector: Carefully peel back a small portion of the protective film (labeled "Step 1" or similar) from one corner of the screen protector. Align the exposed edge of the screen protector with the corresponding edge of your monitor screen. Ensure precise alignment with all edges and cutouts.
- Apply the Protector: Once aligned, slowly and steadily peel off the remaining protective film while simultaneously applying the screen protector to the monitor surface. Use a squeegee tool (if included) or a credit card wrapped in the microfiber cloth to gently push out any air bubbles as you apply. Work from one end to the other.
- Remove Top Film: After the protector is fully applied, carefully peel off the top protective film (labeled "Step 2" or similar).
- Final Inspection: Check for any remaining bubbles. Small bubbles may disappear over 24-48 hours. For larger bubbles, gently lift the nearest edge of the protector and re-apply, pushing the air out.

3. Operating Features
Once installed, your BoxWave ClearTouch Anti-Glare Privacy Screen Protector operates passively to enhance your viewing experience and privacy.
- Privacy Functionality: The screen protector utilizes micro-louver technology to restrict the viewing angle. When viewed directly from the front, the screen remains clear. However, from angles beyond approximately 25 degrees to either side, the screen appears darkened or obscured, protecting your sensitive information from prying eyes.
- Anti-Glare Benefit: The matte surface of the protector diffuses light, significantly reducing reflections and glare from ambient light sources. This improves screen readability, especially in brightly lit environments, and reduces eye strain.
- Touch Sensitivity: The protector is designed to maintain the original touch sensitivity of your monitor (if applicable), ensuring that all interactions remain responsive.

4. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and effectiveness of your screen protector.
- Cleaning: To clean the screen protector, gently wipe it with a clean, soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For deeper cleaning, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-safe cleaning solution (avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials).
- Avoid Sharp Objects: While the protector offers scratch resistance, avoid contact with sharp objects like keys or knives to prevent damage.
- Storage: If removing the protector for storage, keep the original backing films to reapply to the adhesive side. Store flat in a clean, dust-free environment.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during or after installation, refer to the following common solutions:
- Bubbles After Installation:
- Small Bubbles: Many small bubbles will naturally dissipate within 24-48 hours.
- Large Bubbles: Gently lift the nearest edge of the screen protector with a clean fingernail or a piece of tape. Slowly re-lower the protector, using a squeegee or microfiber-wrapped credit card to push the air out towards the edge.
- Dust Under the Protector:
- Gently lift the corner of the protector closest to the dust particle. Use a dust removal sticker or a piece of adhesive tape to carefully dab and lift the dust from both the screen and the adhesive side of the protector. Re-apply the protector.
- Misalignment:
- If the protector is significantly misaligned, carefully lift it entirely from the screen. Clean both the screen and the adhesive side of the protector (if necessary, with a lint-free cloth and distilled water, allowing it to air dry completely). Re-attempt installation following the steps in Section 2.
- Reduced Clarity/Rainbow Effect:
- Ensure both protective films (Step 1 and Step 2) have been completely removed. A slight "rainbow effect" can sometimes occur with anti-glare films due to light diffraction; this is generally normal and often less noticeable during regular use.
