Install a Protective Overlay
The overlay protects the terminal touch screen from scratches, dust,
fingerprints, and external damage from chemicals or abrasive materials. See
Table 4 on p a g e 17
for a list of available protective overlays.
The protective overlay covers the entire
surface of the terminal bezel inside the plastic
perimeter. The overlay has a protective liner
that is removed by pulling back on the tab. Do
not remove the liner until you are ready to
install the overlay.
Before installing the overlay, use a lint-free cloth and a mild glass cleaner to
clean the touch screen surface. Remove all fingerprints, grease, or dust. Marks
not removed are trapped underneath the overlay. Grease also affects the
adhesion of the overlay.
To apply the protective overlay, follow these steps.
1. Disconnect power from the terminal.
2. Pull the tab from one of the short sides and partially peel the liner away
from the adhesive layer.
IMPORTANT Follow these precautions when installing the protective overlay:
• Make sure that your hands are clean and dry.
• Handle the overlay by its edges. If you get marks or lint on the overlay,
remove them before proceeding.
• Do not touch the adhesive ring.
