Electrostatic film (Purpose and how to use)Updated a year ago

The electrostatic film can be used when mounting the dash camera using the sticky mount, so it will not leave any residue on your car's windshield. 

To use the electrostatic film, you need to apply it first on your car's windshield and then apply the 3M sticky mount on top, so if you ever need to remove the 3M sticky mount, it is as easy as peeling the film 

Installing the Electrostatic Film for ROVE R3: 

Measure and decide the applicable installation area using the dash cam’s view finder before you start installing the Electrostatic Film. Look at the front + cabin camera’s video location by temporarily holding the dash cam on the windshield and make sure you like the installation spot of your choice before proceeding. Most people installed their Dash Cam next to the rear view mirror and opposite side from the driver. 

Now thoroughly clean the applicable area using the included cleaning pad and let it air dry 

Note: Do NOT touch the area after cleaning, or finger grease will not allow the electrostatic film to create a strong bond with your windshield. 

Now peel off the “Step 1” side of the electrostatic film & apply the exposed static side to the windshield. Apply pressure to the film, use a credit card to slide and remove any air bubbles for the strong bond with the windshield. 

Note: After you peel off the top film, do NOT touch the applicable side of the electrostatic film with fingers to test it. It is charged with electric particles to create static bond. 

Note: When applying the electrostatic film on the car's windshield, avoid the car's dot matrix pattern for the sun block. Ensure all the bubbles are removed properly by using the credit card to slide them out. 

Now, carefully peel off the RED side of the 3M film from the mount side (and again, making sure NOT to touch the glue with fingers). Then gently stick the front camera on the windshield over the electrostatic film. Then use both hands to apply even pressure to the camera from both sides for about 30 seconds. This should create a proper bond between 3M Sticky-Mount & mount to windshield over the electrostatic film, and adjust the view angle accordingly.
