Step 3: Mark Holes 

Use a pencil or pen to mark the four (4) mounting hole locations on 

the mounting surface. 

Step 4: Drill Holes 

Remove the controller and drill 4mm holes in the marked locations. 

Step 5: Secure Controller 

Place the controller on the surface and align the mounting holes with 

the drilled holes in step 4.   

Secure the controller in place using the mounting screws.
