Standard Assembly
Vertical Configuration - Insert Replacement
1. To remove Clear Lens, first place magnet over Locking Pin located on
top right hand corner of sign. If pin does not lift, shift clear cover to the
left and try again.
2. Shift Clear Lens to the right. For smaller signs the suction cup may
be used to do this. For larger signs, use your hands as shown.
3. Attach Suction Cup Tool to the left side of the Clear Lens and press to
engage. Pull outward while holding Clear Lens edge.
4.After new paper display is inserted into holder, reverse steps 1-3.
Note: When replacing clear cover, make sure non-glare
finish side is facing outward.
Standard Assembly
Horizontal Configuration - Insert Replacement
1. To remove Clear Lens, locate Locking Pin on top left hand side of sign.
If your frame does not feature a Locking Pin, go to steps 3-4 below.
2. Place Magnet Tool over pin at the top left corner of sign, thus removing
security pin from the slot.
3. Affix Suction Cup Tool to lower center of Clear Lens and press inward
to engage. Lift clear cover upward into the space previously blocked
by the locking pin.
4. Pull Clear Lens outward from lower center to remove. Insert new paper
display, and reverse steps 1-3.
Note: When replacing clear cover, make sure non-glare
finish side is facing outward.

VERY IMPORTANT!
The key to optimal performance and successful installation of your FullView product is to carefully follow the instructions within this
guide which can be reviewed within several minutes.
Large Assembly
Horizontal Configuration Insert Removal & Replacement
1. Apply Large Suction Cup Tool to bottom/center of the non-glare Lens,
shift Lens up and pull outward from frame.
You may find that your graphic is held in place with a strip of low-tack
tape that’s attached to the core of the sign frame. This tape will not
damage your sign insert but is very helpful to hold the digital print
steady while inserting the non-glare Lens into the frame.
Frames with 4-Side Capture
If your sign features the aluminum capture extrusions on the left/right
sides, those will need to be removed before you can remove the Lens.
2. Use a 1/16” hex wrench to loosen the screws from both left and right
sides of the extrusions.
3. Once the screws are loose, the capture extrusions can be removed.

Large Assembly
Installation - Mechanical Fasteners (MF) Only
1. Counter sunk mounting holes are located in each corner of the frame’s
core. Using a level, position the frame on the wall surface in the desired
location and use a pencil or similar to transfer the hole pattern to the
wall. Pre-drill the wall at those marked locations.
2. Use #8 or #10 flat head fasteners to affix the frame to the wall.
Anchors and/or other special fasteners need to be considered depending
upon the exact conditions of the installation location and wall surface.
General Care & Maintenance
FullView Products are designed to provide years of trouble-free service,
but proper care is essential.
Always clean by wiping with a soft, lint-free, damp cloth, taking care to
wipe gently, not rub. Using a very mild solution of liquid hand soap and
lukewarm water is optional. If cleaning with liquid and/or damp cloth, take
care not to make contact with any subsurface paper sign displays as they
may be damaged by the moisture.
IMPORTANT! Avoid using products such as window cleaners, liquids
containing ammonia, scouring compounds, or solvents of any kinds (i.e.
alcohol, acetone, etc.) as they may damage the sign finish.
IMPORTANT REGARDING ADA SIGNS! ADA (tactile & Braille) signs are
only suited for interior, climate-controlled environments. Regular exposure
to high humidity and temperature extremes may result in sign
deterioration.
Retention Clips with Larger Standard Assembly Signs
If your sign is 17”h x 17”w or larger, it likely features a clear plastic
Retention Clip (as in the images to the right) at the Top/Bottom Center of
the frame for Vertical Configurations, or at the Right/Left Center for
Horizontal Configuration signs. This Clip helps retain larger Lenses within
the frame and also ensures compression on the subsurface graphics.
If your sign features Retention Clips, they must be removed in order to
remove the sign insert from the frame.
1. Remove the clip by pressing down the small flange. Do not pry off. The
clip will tilt and the back angle is exposed. See Fig. 1. Now rotate the
clip to release from the narrow rail.
2. To replace, push clip directly on the narrow aluminum rail, the clip will
snap over the angle edge. See Fig 2.

Note: Because the non-glare Lenses of Top Access and Inner Access
assemblies are not removable from the frame, those assemblies cannot
be attached via mechanical fasteners without use of a separate mounting
sub plate.
1. Remove Clear Lens from holder and set aside. (Refer to pages 1-2)
2. Locate predrilled holes and transfer the hole pattern to the wall surface
with a pencil or similar.
3. Use only #6 Flat Head sheet metal or wood screws for attachment.
Length and type determined by installer and/or wall surface materials.
Anchors may be required depending upon wall type or conditions.

Large Assembly
Vertical Configuration Insert Removal & Replacement
1. Apply Large Suction Cup Tool to middle/left of the non-glare Lens and
press to secure.
2. Holding the Large Suction Cup Tool firmly against the Lens while
placing your other hand on the frame as necessary. Shift the Lens to
the right as far as it will go (approx 1/8”) and then pull outward from
the sign frame.
3. With the non-glare Lens removed, you may find that the graphic insert
is attached to the sign frame with a thin strip of low-tack tape.
Low-tack tape is often used to help position the large digital print while
inserting the Lens into the frame. If this is the case, gently peel the
insert/print away from the frame and the low-tack tape to reveal
mounting holes.
Note:
When reinserting the graphic, be sure that it is beneath the two springs in
the frame on either side before attempting to replace the non-glare Lens.
Press the graphic against the low-tack tape on the frame to aid in
holding the graphic in place while the Lens is being replaced.
With the aid of the Large Suction Cup Tool, insert the right edge of the
Lens into the right side of the frame, then shift the Lens to the left to
compress the springs.
Make sure the matte (non-glossy) side of the Lens is facing outward.
Insert Removal & Replacement / Installation Insert Removal & Replacement / Installation
Due to the wide range of wall surfaces and conditions, unless APCO is
performing the installation, any required mechanical fasteners have not
been provided with your order. A professional sign installer should
determine the most appropriate fasteners based upon wall conditions.
FullView is designed for Interior Use Only.
E Series Assembly
Insert Removal & Replacement
1. Apply Suction Cup Tool to top/middle portion of Clear Lens and apply
pressure.
2. Pull Suction Cup Tool straight outward from the sign frame.
3. To replace the Clear Lens, first put the entire left or right
vertical edge into the recessed channel of the sign frame,
matte side out.
4. Use a Suction Cup Tool to flex the middle of the Lens outward
while pressing the opposite edge of the Lens into the sign
frame.

Inner Access Assembly
Insert Removal
1. Insert sticky note in between Clear Lens and the insert. Apply pressure
so that the sticky portion of the note adheres to the insert.
2. Pull sticky note so that the sign insert comes up and out of the frame.
Note: The Clear Lens of Inner Access assemblies does not come out of
the frame.
Wall Attachment Instructions
Vinyl Tape (VT)
Very Important - Read Before Proceeding!
APCO uses a high-bond tape that has been proven successful in
thousands of signage installations and used in the sign industry for many
years. It is an extremely aggressive adhesive generally suitable for many
installations of interior signs up to and including 8-1/2” x 8-1/2”, and in
some cases larger. However, there are many factors beyond APCO’s
control that can negatively impact a tape’s performance, possibly resulting
in installation failure. These factors include but are not limited to the
cleanliness of the wall surface, the type of wall surface (tape is not
compatible with textured surfaces, bricks, stone, wood, vinyl wall
covering, and some low-VOC paints), humidity of the environment,
levelness of the wall surface, and improper installation techniques. With
so many variables beyond APCO’s control, it is the customer’s
responsibility to determine the suitability of the mounting surface before
installing any signs using vinyl tape. For a higher level of strength/security,
and for all larger signs or questionable wall surfaces, APCO always
recommends the use of Mechanical Fasteners, or Vinyl Tape + Silicon
Adhesive in some cases. For more information, see IS456 Wall Sign
