P3 - Assembly question

[k6dgw]

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?

Got it!  That's what I thought, but just wanted to check.  For anyone
else contemplating asking this question, you can tell it's the
protective film and not the filter because it is very thin, overlaps the
edge of the display, has an "E" in a square printed faintly on it, and
doesn't go completely down to the edges of the display.  You've probably
peeled one of these off your new smartphone ... I did.  Thanks Ron,
