[Elecraft] KX3 Remove plastic film on display?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

The film is supposed to have removed at the factory for just that reason.
Also, sometimes it is so well placed it's not obvious and people have ruined
the display by damaging the cover glass trying to peel up an edge. 

That's why the K3 LCD display comes without the film. 

Apparently some got shipped with the film in place by accident.

Kevin,

I thought "that's got to be something I peel off" and then as I started and
all the segments blurred out in black as I peeled it off I thought "damn,
that was wrong, bye bye LCD". Luckily I was wrong :)

A note in the assembly guide might provide reassurance.
