The label supplied with the T1 ATU has a very thin protective film
layer that should be removed after the label is installed. If the film
is left on, the label will have a dull appearance, may have small
bubbles trapped beneath it, and will be susceptible to scratching. The
underlying label has a much nicer appearance and is highly
scratch-resistant.
IF YOU HAVE THE KIT VERSION:
The label supplied with the kit version of the T1 has the protective
film in place. You must removed it as described below.
IF YOU HAVE THE FACTORY-ASSEMBLED VERSION:
Factory-assembled T1s are now being shipped with the film removed.
However, the first 50 or so assembled T1s shipped still had the film.
If you ordered an assembled T1, examine the label carefully to see if
the film is present. The film is actually there if you can take your
fingernail and gently leave a scratch on the surface.
REMOVING THE FILM:
You can use a fingernail or a fine-tipped tool such as a small
jeweler's screwdriver or plastic tuning tool. Don't use a knife or
razor blade, since you might nick the label itself.
Place your fingernail or the tip of the tool on the surface of the
label at one corner, then rub gently until the film starts to peel off.
You can then use tweezers or long-nose pliers to pull the film back far
enough to grasp with your fingers. Pull with a steady pressure to
remove it.
