3D SMARTone Phone Case Decoration System
Installation and Operation Guide
Process in a Nutshell:
The SMARTone is used to decorate a wide range of phone case models.
A sheet of A5 film is printed in the WP 4015 printer.... any image can be printed. A blank phone case and a sheet of A5 film are loaded into the SMARTone.
The SMARTone process transfers the image from the printed sheet into the phone cover. After just a short time to cool the case is ready for use.

3D SMARTone INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
1. Safety
WARNINGS
Inner surfaces become hot.
Avoid touching inner su rfaces when hot.
When loading and unloading parts alw ays use gloves.
When loading and unloading jigs always use gloves.
Do not remove any pan els without disconnecting from electricity su pply.
Only con nect SMARTo ne to specified voltage supply : 110V or 230V
Oper ators should w ear cotton glo ves when using the SMARTone since internal surfaces will b ecome hot.
Som ething similar to the gloves pi ctured here is ideal. It offers a good balance between protection and function – you can still handle parts easily. Yo u should keep the gloves clea n to prevent any contamination of the blan k parts and film you will be handling . If the gloves become dirty, they should be replaced and are commonly available worldwid e at a low cost. Your SMARTo ne comes with one pair of glo ves to help you get started. V ery thick gloves should be used for handling hot jigs

3D SMARTone INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
3. Installing the SMARTone
•Remove all packing from the SMARTone
•Locate the SMARTone on a stable flat surface
•Locate the SMARTone in a well ventilated area
•Locate the SMARTone away from sources of dust
•Retain the SMARTone packaging to allow safe transportation
•Connect power cord to electrical outlet
4. Preparing the SMARTone
Before powering on, you should fix the required support jig into the SMARTone drawer.
• A jig is available for each blank part model.
• The jig provides support for the phone cover during decoration
• It also ensures the correct position of the image on the case
• The correct jig must be used for the part to be decorated eg you must use a Samsung Galaxy S3 jig to decorate Samsung Galaxy S3 parts. No other model will fit correctly.
Samsung Galaxy S3 Jig
• The locking system ensures jigs can only be fitted one way
5
3D SMARTone INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
• Line the ji g correctly with the locking pi ns
• There is o nly one way it will go around – make sure you push it fir mly into place
• Push firmly to left to lock
• You can s wap out the jig at any time.
• Wearing t hick gloves, dislodge the jig by pushing it to the right and fit the new jig i nto place.
• Press the ‘NEST WA RM’ button on the screen
• The b utton will turn red until the jig is heated
Use thic k gloves when loading and unloading jigs
If a hot jig is removed from the SMARTone ensure it is kept in a saf e place as it will remain hot for some time

5. The Control Panel and powering on
•Flick the red power switch to start the SMARTone
•The SMARTone will now begin a ‘warming up’ cycle to bring the drawer and jig up to operating temperature.
•Initial warm up will take around 15 minutes.
•The SMARTone will not run a decoration cycle unless it is at operating condition.
•Once at operating condition the SMARTone will maintain this so that it is ready to use, even if you leave it idling for an extended period of time.
To ensure that the press is always ready keep the drawer closed when not in use.

6. Decorating a part
• When you are ready to decorate a part, open the drawer.
• Here is a look at the drawer in detail.
• The platen and jig will become hot during the process.
• This is the frame. This is used to clamp the film into place.
• Raise it to load film.
• When the frame is down, it rests against a silicon foam seal.
• Take care not to cause damage to the seal – replacements can be fitted easily if necessary.
• Clip the blank phone case onto the jig.
• The top of the part should always go to the left hand side (camera holes are normally located at the top).
• Extra care should be taken to ensure that the case is clipped on in this way.
