Description

1

Place the panel on a flat, level surface, with the display face pointing down.

oThe center of the panel bezel's installation groove is ribbed. Make sure you insert the gasket all the way in without catching the ribbed sections.

oWhen using a tool to insert the gasket, make sure the tool does not catch the rubber gasket and cause a tear.
