AR-B1690 User’s Guide 2.2 SYSTEM SETTINGS Jumper pins allow you to set specific system parameters. Set them by changing the pin location of the jumper blocks. (A jumper block is a small plastic-encased conductor that slips over the pins.) To change a jumper setting, remove the jumper from its current location with your fingers or small needle-nosed pliers. Place the jumper over the two pins designated for the desired setting. Press the jumper evenly onto the pins. Be careful not to bend the pins.
