Note

Your phone's display and the display cover of the top shell are delivered with a protective film.

Remove this film before getting started

In rare cases the static discharge may cause discolouration at the edges of the display. How-

ever this will disappear within 10 minutes.
To avoid damage to the display, the phone should not be used without the upper shell.
