TC27 Novaclock - Staging Process

Asset Tag Application 

1. Apply the asset tag to the back of the TC27. Please ensure the tag does not cover the barcode!

   • • Reference pictures below

Proceed to the "Work Order Device Capture" section

Installing The Screen Protector

1. Clean the Screen:

   • • Wipe the device's screen well with the alcohol wipe. Go in one direction.

     • Get the edges and corners extra clean.

2. Dry and Dust Off:

   • • Dry the screen completely with the special cloth. No streaks or wet spots!

     • Look closely for any dust.

     • Use the dust sticker to pick up every last speck. (This is super important!)

3. Get the Protector Ready:

   • • Peel off a little bit of the backing from the sticky side of the new screen protector (look for a "Step 1" tab).

     • Don't touch the sticky part with your fingers!

4. Line It Up Carefully:

   • • Hold the screen protector by its sides.

     • Carefully line up the edge of the protector with the edge of the device's screen. Make sure it's straight and even. Match any holes for the camera.

5. Stick It On:

   • • When it looks right, slowly lower the protector onto the screen.

     • If it's crooked, lift it carefully right away and try again.

     • Keep peeling the backing off as you smooth the protector down from one end to the other.

6. Push Out Bubbles:

   • • Once it's on, use the smoothing card (or a credit card wrapped in the cloth) to push out any air bubbles.

     • Start in the middle and push towards the edges.

     • If a bubble is stuck, you can gently lift the nearest edge of the protector and push the bubble out as you put it back down.

     • Tiny bubbles might go away by themselves in a day or two.

Important: Please be sure to remove all air gaps
