Hi Fred: The cover film is supposed to be removed before shipment because several builders confused it with the polarizing filter on the front of the display. Of course, removing the polarizing filter turns the display into a nice, big flat screen light.
Apparently the folks at Elecraft overlooked some displays. It's not hard to remove with a little care. You should be able to see the edge of the covering film. The filter is much, much thicker - about 0.05" or 0.1" IIRC - while the protective film with the "E" is very thin stuff. Use a sharp tool to get one corner loose and it'll come off with little effort. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Fred Jensen Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2011 4:01 PM To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] P3 - Assembly question Just got my P3 kit. I notice that on the LCD screen, there is a faint "E" enclosed in a square in the upper right corner. It appears to be on a film over the face of the LCD screen. Do I remove the film and then clean the display screen, or just leave it go? 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2011 Cal QSO Party 1-2 Oct 2011 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
