screws.

2. Turn the BACKPACK BASE PLATE wingnut counter-clockwise by 2-3 turns.

BACKPACK QUICKPLATE is facing away from the DSMC.

4. Secure the BACKPACK QUICKPLATE by turning the BACKPACK BASE PLATE wingnut clockwise until it

stops turning (do not over tighten).

5. Slide the RED BRICK onto the back of the BACKPACK QUICKPLATE so that it fits into the V-Mount on the
