2. Safety Information
- Handle the screen protector with care to avoid bending or cracking, especially during installation.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Avoid contact with sharp objects that could scratch or damage the protector.
- Do not attempt to reapply the protector multiple times as this may compromise the adhesive and introduce dust.
3. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for a clean and bubble-free installation:
- Prepare Your Workspace: Choose a clean, dust-free environment. Wash your hands thoroughly to remove oils and dirt.
- Clean the Screen: Use the provided alcohol wipe to clean your Surface Pro 11 screen. Ensure all smudges, fingerprints, and dust are removed.
- Dry the Screen: Use the microfiber cloth to dry the screen completely. Ensure no lint or dust particles remain. Use the dust-absorber sticker to pick up any remaining dust.
- Align the Protector: Carefully peel off the protective film labeled "1 BACK" from the adhesive side of the screen protector. Align the protector with the edges of your Surface Pro 11 screen, paying close attention to the camera and sensor cutouts.
- Apply the Protector: Once aligned, gently lower the protector onto the screen. The advanced silicon adhesive will begin to adhere.
- Remove Bubbles: Use a squeegee card (not included, a credit card can be used) wrapped in the microfiber cloth to gently push out any air bubbles towards the edges of the screen. Small bubbles may dissipate over 24-48 hours.
- Final Step: Peel off the top protective film (if present).

4. Operating Instructions
Privacy Functionality
The ProCase Privacy Screen Protector is designed to limit the viewing angle of your screen. When viewed from directly in front, the screen content is clear. However, from side angles (typically beyond 30 degrees from the center), the screen will appear dark or obscured, preventing unauthorized viewing by bystanders.

Touch Sensitivity and Pen Compatibility
The ultra-thin tempered glass (0.33mm thickness) ensures that the original touch sensitivity of your Surface Pro 11 is maintained. It is also fully compatible with the Surface Pen, allowing for smooth writing and drawing without interference.

5. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: To clean the screen protector, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen cleaner specifically designed for electronics. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Protection: While the protector offers 9H hardness and is shock, liquid, and scratch-resistant, it is not indestructible. Avoid dropping your device or exposing it to extreme impacts.
- Storage: If removing the protector for any reason, store it flat and protect the adhesive side from dust and debris. Note that reapplication may not be as effective as the initial installation.

6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bubbles after installation | Dust particles trapped underneath, or improper application. | Gently lift the nearest edge of the protector and use a dust-absorber sticker to remove dust. Reapply carefully. For small bubbles, they may disappear within 24-48 hours. |
| Reduced touch sensitivity | Improper installation, or a faulty protector. | Ensure the protector is fully adhered without gaps. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Privacy effect not strong enough | Viewing angle expectations, or incorrect product. | The privacy effect is designed for specific angles (e.g., 30 degrees from center). Ensure you have the correct privacy screen protector for your model. |
| Cracks or damage | Impact or excessive force. | The protector is designed to absorb impact to protect your screen. Replace the damaged protector. |
