Frequently Asked Questions - 424042 MANHATTAN

How do I install the MANHATTAN Privacy Filter on my monitor?

First, clean your monitor screen with the included cloth. Then follow the mounting kit instructions: if your screen is larger than the filter, use the clear plastic tabs; if smaller, use the adhesive strips. Ensure the cutout is at the top right when facing the filter.

Can I cut the privacy filter to fit my screen?

No, cutting or bending the filter is not recommended as it will degrade performance. Always measure your screen and choose the correct size model.

How does the privacy filter work?

It uses micro-louver technology to narrow the viewing angle to about 45° from center. Beyond that angle, the screen appears dark to onlookers, ensuring privacy.

Will the filter affect touchscreen functionality?

This filter is designed for standard LCD displays. It may interfere with touch sensitivity on touchscreen devices. Check compatibility before use.

How do I clean the privacy filter?

Use the included soft cloth. For stubborn smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild screen cleaner. Do not use abrasive cloths or excessive force.

Can I use this filter on a curved monitor?

The filter is flat and may not adhere properly to curved screens. It is recommended for flat notebook or LCD monitors only.

Does the filter reduce screen brightness?

Yes, privacy filters slightly reduce brightness. You may need to increase your display brightness to compensate.

How do I remove the filter without damaging my screen?

Gently peel the filter from one corner. If using adhesive strips, carefully pull the filter away. Clean any residue with a soft cloth.

Is the filter reversible?

Yes, the filter can be installed on either side. However, the cutout should always be at the top right for proper orientation.

What sizes are available?

Models include 424004 (18x25 cm), 424028 (23x30 cm), 424035 (21x33 cm), and 424042 (27x34 cm). Always measure your screen before purchasing.

USER MANUAL 424042 MANHATTAN

PRIVACY FILTER REFERENCE GUIDE

Thank you for purchasing this MANHATTAN Privacy Filter.

By narrowing the field of view to approximately 45^ from the display center, it effectively discourages glances from curious onlookers and prevents the disclosure of on-screen displays to information thieves. Once installed, the Privacy Filter also helps protect fragile LCD surfaces from scratches and minor damage, and can decrease eyestrain, glare and annoying reflections.

The image at far right shows how the display on the monitor screen becomes more difficult to discern through the Privacy Filter as the view approaches a 45° angle, at which point the display becomes completely "private" for the user and indiscernible to others.

MOUNTING KIT INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: For proper product performance, do not bend, cut or otherwise alter the size or shape of the Privacy Filter. Do clean your monitor screen with the enclosed cloth before positioning the filter, and do ensure the cutout appears at the top right as you face the filter when it's in place (as highlighted in the Step 4 image below).

If your monitor screen is larger than the Privacy Filter, use the clear plastic tabs.

1. Separate the tabs.
2. Peel the protective cover from the adhesive.
3. Place the tabs along the bottom and sides of your monitor.
4. Slip the Privacy Filter behind the tabs so it covers the screen.

If your monitor screen is smaller than the Privacy Filter, use the adhesive strips (adhesive on both sides).

1. Remove the strips one at a time from the sheet.
2. Place the strips along the back edges of the filter so they line up with the outer frame of your monitor. NOTE: Be careful not to cover any control buttons on your monitor.
3. Peel the remaining protective cover from the strips and press the filter in place on the monitor frame so it covers the screen.
