Follow these steps to secure the course computer:

1.Hold the course computer in place against the mounting location so you can mark the centre of the keyhole slots:

these marks should be level and 288 mm (11.3 in) apart

remove the course computer then drill the two pilot holes using a 3 mm (1/8 in) drill bit

2.Screw the supplied self-tapping screws (No 8 x 3/4 in, pan-head) into the holes, so the head of each screw is at least 6 mm (1/4 in) from the surface.

3.Place the keyhole slots over the screw heads, then move the course computer down, so the screw heads are at the top of the keyhole slots.

4.Tighten the screws to hold the course computer securely against the mounting surface.

unlock the cover:

use a flat-bladed screwdriver or small coin to rotate the catch
