Hi guys,
I have started the assembly of KX3 0570. I have mounted the display
board in the front cover. The next step is the assembly of the bezel.
My question is, should the plastic film covering the display be gently
peeled off? Mine has some air bubbles underneath it, which suggests

Kevin,
I thought "that's got to be something I peel off" and then as I started and
all the segments blurred out in black as I peeled it off I thought "damn,
that was wrong, bye bye LCD". Luckily I was wrong :)
A note in the assembly guide might provide reassurance.

Does this apply to the kit version? I'd have thought it was in place to
protect the LCD in transit
Yes, along with visible flashes of light if you're in darkness and your eyes
have had time to adapt.
As film photographer old enough to have used sheet-cut film, I learned to
never use that tape on the back of undeveloped negative films.

Thanks to all who responded to my post. I will now gently remove the
film. It was reassuring to learn that some LCDs were shipped with the
film still in place.
As for the generation of x-rays, I doubt that there would be sufficient
energy in the removal to do that. Might be a job for the Myt
I believe it may well be UV which is produced, certainly visible light is.
I agree that the energy is too small for the production of x rays, after
all you need to accelerate electrons through 10kV or so to produce x rays.
UV radiation exists across a wide energy range compared with visible

leaked all over!" (joke)
I figured it was standard to protect the LCD screen. Certainly
avoided a bunch of finger prints that way.

It's always a good idea to handle boards by their edges insofar as possbile,
even while wearing static protection, just to avoid unnecessary mechanical
stress on components.
Sounds like a good idea to add that to the manuals as a general instruction.
