3.7 Replacing the Function Label
If only the Function Label is damaged the Touch Panel does not need to be replaced (See Chapter
5 for parts information.)
x Remove the old label:
Working from a corner, use a broad blade, such as a wide X-Acto™ knife, to remove the
label. Be careful not to cut into the plastic Housing (or into yourself). Work slowly allowing
the adhesive time to release as it is separated from the plastic. Eye Protection should always
be used when using a knife.
x Clean the glue residue from the Housing surface:
Try using a section of theadhesiveontheremovedlabelto“pickup”asmuchofthe
remaining adhesive on the housing as possible. Using the knife or your fingers tryto“roll”up
the remaining adhesive. If the adhesive smears use a cotton cloth to pick up as much as
possible. As a last resort a solvent such as Nail Polish Remover can be tried. First test the
plastic on the inside of the Housing to see if the solvent damages the plastic. The solvent
must not come in contact with the Touch Panel.
x Install the new Function Label:
Trial fit the new label to become familiar with its placement. Remove the clear protective liner
on the inside label window, verify that the window area is clean. Peal back about 1/3 of the
liner material and cut it off (do not tear as the torn edge may expose untreated areas that will
stick to the adhesive.). Align the label where the liner is still attached when satisfied press
the area where the adhesive is exposed except for near the cut liner. Peal off the remaining
liner and press the surface starting at the attached area and working outward to avoid
bubbles under the label.
