Tom,

Is one end of the white plastic free to move upward?  If so, you do not have
the clear plastic sheet.
That 'plastic sheet' can be as simple as a piece of clear tape used to hold
the end of the white plastic in place during packing and shipping.

If it is not present, just install the backlight and don't worry about it.

Hi Tom:

I just happen to have fifty (50) of the future K1 backlights on my
desk right now, to be cut into two pieces for K1 backlights. Looking
at this supply, it appears that they no longer have the clear plastic
cover over the opaque plastic cover on the front of the backlight.

So I guess that particular part of the instructions is no longer applicable.

If it ain't there... don't sweat it.

I've just installed a backlight kit - there wasn't a clear plastic film
on the backlight either...

The K1 now looks really good, well worth modifying. I used the 6 mA
option and the light level is just right for me.

Beware the default shipping charge to the UK for small parts, such as
this kit, can exceed the cost of the parts. The charge quoted by Lisa
was $7.00 instead of the $22.00 on the web order page (use the order
form and choose Int'l Air Parcel Post, add the quoted price in the
comments box). It's best to obtain a quote for the shipping costs of
small part orders...
